"The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required,
which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the
public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny.
The wise and correct course to follow in taxation is not to
destroy those who have already secured success, but to
create conditions under which everyone will have a better
chance to be successful."
--President Calvin Coolidge (1873-1933)
"[April 15] is the last day for filing income tax returns --
a day that reminds us that taxpayers pay too much of Their earnings
to the Federal Government. ... While April 15 serves as a reminder,
the people of the United States truly do not need to be reminded.
They are victims of inflation, which pushes them into higher tax brackets.
They are robbed daily of a better standard of living. They are discouraged
from work and investment. ... The choice before us is clear.
I strongly feel that the great majority of Americans believe that nothing
would better encourage economic growth than leaving more money in
The hands of the people who earn it. It's time to stop stripping bare
the productive citizens of America and funneling their hard-
earned income into the Federal bureaucracy."
--Ronald Reagan
