Special Occasion Words To Live By, And Words To Ponder.
"Only little people pay taxes."
-- Billionaire Leona Hemsley, who seems to have "let the cat out of the bag" on how rich people get richer at our expense.
"The apportionment of taxes on the various descriptions of property is an act which seems to require the most exact impartiality; yet there is, perhaps, no legislative act in which greater opportunity and temptation are given to a predominant party to trample on the rules of justice. Every shilling which they overburden the inferior number is a shilling saved to their own pockets."
-- James Madison, Federalist No. 10 , 1787
