I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
-Winston Churchill

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson  

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

"The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome becomes bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

-Cicero, 55 BC

"Every tax question has an answer that is straightforward, simple and WRONG"


The difference between an optimist, a pessimist, and an accountant is:
To the optomist, the glass of water is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass of water is half empty.
But to the accountant, the glass is too big.


Remember.....
A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
A tax is a fine for doing well.

When you change the way you look at things, The things you look at change.

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.  What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. 

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."
