Here's a doozy:

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1944

“Abolishing the double-taxation will increase the return on responsible investing, which will draw more money into the markets, which will make it easier for people to have capital to build plant and equipment.”

“By allowing businesses to expense up to $75,000 is means that somebody is more likely to buy a copy machine or, uh, in this case, an architectural-fancy machine.”

George W. Bush, 2003
