Government has no wealth, and when a politician promises to give you something for nothing, he must first confiscate that wealth from you -- either by direct taxes, or by the cruelly indirect tax of inflation.
John Wayne, born Marion Robert Morrison on May 26, 1907, in Winterset, Iowa, emerged as one of the most iconic American film actors of the 20th century, symbolizing rugged masculinity and becoming synonymous with the Western genre. Wayne’s towering presence and distinctive voice made him a beloved figure in American cinema, with a career spanning over 50 years and more than 150 movies. His portrayal of courageous cowboys, soldiers, and various heroic figures earned him a place in the hearts of millions, influencing the image of the American man both domestically and internationally. Wayne’s performances in classics such as “Stagecoach” (1939), “The Searchers” (1956), and “True Grit” (1969), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor, showcased his range and depth as an actor. Off-screen, Wayne was known for his conservative political views. He passed away on June 11, 1979, but remains a legendary figure in Hollywood history, embodying the spirit of the American frontier.
