Reader comments about this quote:

But what is it when government claims an ever increasing portion of your hard work to give to others? I call it theft. They call it taxes. The Constitution says there are direct and indirect taxes. Which one is income tax? Ask the IRS but you'll never get an answer. -- Joe, Rochester, MI
Unfortunately it is exploited by the greedy and the spiritual welfare organisations. The honor is that which is within and rests with you at night. -- Robert, Sarasota
Oops... -- robert, Sarasota
Promotion of compelled compliance, victimless crimes, societal licenses, theft of all kinds, forced charity, healthcare and IDs is tyrannical toil without honor. -- Mike, Norwalk
Honor, like virtue, is its own reward. You know when you've earned it... and when you haven't. -- Jack, Green, OH
Those self-esteem exercises that are so popular in government schools try to instill in children pride without achievement. It's all about feelings, and it engenders a sense of entitlement without work. Of course they grow up as good, little, programmed socialists. Those children that don't end up as brainwashed socialists know it is all a lie. They know there is no pride or honor without work and accomplishment. -- Ken, Allyn, WA 1
Indeed. -- E Archer, NYC
There are about a hundred quotes that should be taught to every kid in every school in America and this is one of them. -- H Rearden, Burr Ridge IL
