“Regarding the Economy & Taxation: America's most successful achievers do pay a higher share of the total tax burden. The top one percent income earners paid 18 percent of the total tax burden in 1981, and paid 25 percent in 1991. The bottom 50 percent of income earners paid only 8 percent of the total tax burden, and paid only 5 percent in 1991. History shows that tax cuts have always resulted in improved economic growth producing more tax revenue in the treasury.”

Now foreign television channels are sending so much cash that the Premiership is expected to take in nearly Â£1.8bn this season. Even the team that finishes bottom of the table (Wigan might be a good bet) will get Â£26.8m from TV. That's more than all of Argentine or Belgian football put together.”
“I don't know if a song is going to be a hit or it's going to flop. I never know. I just do the music and if people like it, they like it.”
