Moderate Republican

Famous quotes containing the words moderate and/or republican:

“Is this not true—That in proportion to the value of their estates the extremely wealthy pay far less taxes than those of moderate means?

I believe that in proportion to their estates they pay less than half as much as ordinary citizens, whereas they ought to pay more.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
