A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
George Bernard Shaw
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.
Alexis de Tocqueville
We have a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes nonwork.
Milton Friedman
America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.
Laurence J. Peter
The tendency of taxation is to create a class of persons who do not labor, to take from those who do labor the produce of that labor, and to give it to those who do not labor.
William Cobbett

PS. Cobbett's legacy leaves little doubt as to the sincerity of his intent with regard to storage of the remains of his friend Thomas Paine. Proper burials things take time, no?
