Food for Thought
It seems there is something fundamentally wrong when so many experts are so profitably employed at protecting our sovereign citizens from our civil servants. (vern Jacobs) The legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of what would otherwise be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted. (Supreme Court Justice Sutherland, 1935) The essence of freedom is the proper limitation of government. (Unknown) "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Attributed to Edmund Burke) No one is above the law...except for the lawmakers who scoff at their own laws. (Unknown) Most of the major religions of the world that ask their members to tithe only ask for 10% of their member's income. If God only needs 10%, why does the government need 50%? (Vern Jacobs) The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. (Margaret Thatcher) Inflation is a tax on property and the capital gains tax is imposed on inflationary gains. (Vern Jacobs) "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 only people I've ever met who would like to pay more taxes are those who aren't making any money. (Vern Jacobs) It seems that anyone with an agenda of aggressive government meddling can always tell you the solution to the problem ... always seems to involve more government meddling. (Matthew Collins, The A-Letter) When the government talks about tax "reform" it's time to get a better grip on your wallet. (Vern Jacobs) "The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amounts of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing." (Jean Baptiste Colbert) The only effective way to eliminate tax loopholes is to eliminate politicians. (Vern Jacobs) You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once (Robert Heinlein) "If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in a sorry state as are the souls who live under tyranny." - (Thomas Jefferson) "The government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else." (Unknown) "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." (Reagan Inaugural Address January 20, 1981) "Why do those who pay no income taxes have the right to impose higher taxes on those do pay income taxes?" (VKJ) "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." (Winston Churchill) |
