A penny saved is a penny taxed. | |
America: born free and taxed to death. | |
I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. -- Thomas Jefferson | |
Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed. | |
<Deek> Yes, America is a country based on how pissed-off a group of taxed people can get. <Deek> We exist as a country because we're cheap. |
