Driving with one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brake is likely to get you nowhere, but certainly will burn out vital parts of your car. Similarly, cutting taxes on the middle class, but increasing them on the 'rich' is likely to result in an economic burnout.

Summary

This quote uses a metaphor to illustrate the concept of balance in decision-making and its consequences. Just as driving with one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brake hinders progress and damages the car, the idea of cutting taxes for the middle class while increasing them for the wealthy may lead to an economic burnout. The quote suggests that imbalanced policies, which favor one group at the expense of another, can have detrimental effects and ultimately hinder overall economic growth and stability.
