Pay Your Taxes

April 15, 1996February 6, 2017

“It is fairer to tax people on what they extract from the economy, as roughly measured by their consumption, than to tax them on what they produce for the economy, as roughly measured by their income.”—Thomas Hobbes

(And speaking of fair: “Why shouldn’t the American people take half my money from me? I took all of it from them.”—Edward A. Filene)
