"[If Parliament] may take from me one shilling in the pound,
what security have I for the other nineteen?"

~ Richard Henry Lee  

"Nine tenths of everything is tax. Everything you buy has a complicated history of robbery: land, raw materials, energy, tools,
buildings, transport, storage, sales, profits. Don’t forget the share you contribute toward the personal income tax of every worker who has anything to
do with the process. Inflation by taxation: there are a hundred taxes on a loaf of bread. What kind of living standard would we enjoy if
everything cost a tenth of what it does? What kind of world? Think of your home, your car, your TV, your shoes, your supper—all at a 90%
discount! Government can’t fight poverty—poverty is its proudest achievement!"

~ L. Neil Smith  

"In general, the art of government
consists in taking as much money as possible
from one party of the citizens to give to the other."

~ Voltaire
