Average Quotes
I doubt if the average Englishman felt himself as much oppressed by Charles I as by the plague; or if any colonial American was as much in dread of taxation without representation as of smallpox.

Socialist Government Quotes
In any socialist government, they must destroy all alliances other than your alliance to the government, and they want the government to become your God. That for you to totally depend upon government. So we become slaves to government, through taxation, through regulation, through all kinds of restrictions, that makes us not free anymore.

Words Of Wisdom Quotes
...it is not only the general principles of justice that are infringed, or at least set aside, by the exclusion of women, merely as women, from any share in the representation; that exclusion is also repugnant to the particular principles of the British Constitution.

Associated Quotes

War Quotes
What will drive people if they don't have money or reward? The reward is the end of war, the end of poverty, most crime, and the end of begging for medical care. Everyone will be cared for and educated. There will be no taxation, and no advantage group. No technical elitism, or any other kind of elitism. If that isn't incentive enough, then I don't know what is.

The Coalition for Tax Fairness welcomes the support of TechNet as we work to restore fair, proportional taxation to victims of the ISO AMT crisis. Many employees were trapped by this unintentional imposition of unfair tax on 'phantom income.' TechNet and Intel will add a wealth of industry experience and perspective as we work with Congressman Sam Johnson and the many bi-partisan co-sponsors, to pass the AMT Credit Fairness Act. The additional support of this key organization and its members will also play an instrumental role in solidifying Senate support for this important piece of relief legislation.

Country Quotes
Have we the courage and the will to face up to the immorality and discrimination of the progressive tax, and demand a return to traditional proportionate taxation? ... Today in our country the tax collector's share is 37 cents of every dollar earned. Freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp.
