"What I have said is,[B]reduction of taxes is a very necessary objective of government[/B]–that if our form of economy is to endure,[B]we must not forget private incentives and initiative and the production that comes from it.[/B]Therefore,[B]the objective of tax reduction is an absolutely essential one[/B], and must be attained in its proper order. [B]I have as much reason as anyone else to deplore high taxes.I certainly am going to work with every bit of energy I have towards their reduction. And I applaud the efforts of the people in Congress that are going in that way. [/B]But I merely want to point out that unless we go at it in the proper sequence, I do not believe that taxes will be lowered."
