Pay Your Taxes
“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
Not just fairer: smarter.
(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)
Tomorrow: Doing My Taxes with TaxCut
Quote of the Day
Governments are necessarily continuing concerns. They have to keep going in good times and bad. They therefore need a wide margin of safety. If taxes and debt are made all the people can bear when times are good, there will be certain disaster when times are bad.
