I made my fair share of mistakes.

To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association--the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.

True patriotism isn't cheap. It's about taking on a fair share of the burden of keeping America going.

All some folks want is their fair share and yours.
