Proverb For The Weekend (get out of, people, price)

The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to get the most feathers with the least hissing.

Raise the sales tax a mere .025%. No hissing here!

And next year, raise it a measly .015%. Again, no hissing here!

Yep that's a good one. Get as much as you can get out of the people with the least amount of complaining. Course it would all depend what is taxed too. A little bit here, a little bit here..hey who will notice??

Taxes are just another vehicle to further liberty's cause... No man can live w/o price.
