“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
“Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.”
Calvin Coolidge
“The taxpayer: that’s someone who works for the federal government, but doesn’t have to take a civil service examination.”
Ronald Reagan
