"The income tax was devised to give..." - Quote by W C Fields

“The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive.”

“I didn't say the meat was tough. I said I didn't see the horse that is usually outside.”

“No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree.”

“And my girlfriend, she's FAT! How fat? She's so fat she wears two watches-one for each time zone!”

“Big business never pays a nickel in taxes, according to Ralph Nader, who represents a big consumer organization that never pays a nickel in taxes.”

“A pun does not commonly justify a blow in return. But if a blow were given for such cause, and death ensued, the jury would be judges both of the facts and of the pun, and might, if the latter were of an aggravated character, return a verdict of justifiable homicide.”

“Our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and the avoidance of large federal deficits on the other. It is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget, just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits.”

“Budget deficits are not caused by wild-eyed spenders, but by slow economic growth and periodic recessions. And any new recession would break all deficit records. In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low, and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.”

“What we don't need is more spending, and what we don't need are taxes, and what we do need is a lot less of both.”
