668030 2008-05-11 23:27:00 A few of my favourite tax quotations from here (quotations.about.com):

Will Rogers
It is a good thing that we do not get as much government as we pay for.

Robert A. Heinlein
There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him.

Arthur Godfrey
I am proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is I could be just as proud for half of the money.

H. L. Mencken
Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.

John S. Coleman
The point to remember is that what the government gives it must first take away.

Winston Churchill
There is no such thing as a good tax.

Albert Einstein
The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.

Robert A. Heinlein
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss.

Winston Churchill
We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

G. Gordon Liddy
A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.

Calvin Coolidge
Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.

Dan Bennett
There's nothing wrong with the younger generation that becoming taxpayers won't cure.

Jewish Proverb
Taxes grow without rain.

Robert Dole
The principle involved here is time-honored and true: and that is it's your money.

Robert Dole
The purpose of a tax cut is to leave more money where it belongs: in the hands of the working men and working women who earned it in the first place.

Roger Jones
I guess I think of lotteries as a tax on the mathematically challenged.

Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard's Almanac
It would be a hard government that should tax its people one-tenth (my underlining!) part of their income.

And one I can't find a source for, but I suspect to be Robert Heinlein:

"Taxation is never used for the benefit of the taxed"

668033 2008-05-12 03:09:00 How sad. What are you, 13 years of age? John H (8)

You shouldn't hate them. Pity them, instead, for being so misguided....

668035 2008-05-12 03:16:00 Good lord, if this is what passes for the intelligence of Tory voters, then I despair for the future. John H (8)

Coming from you (no doubt a deluded, brainless Labour voter) I'll take that as a compliment.

:thanks

Or perhaps you wish I was 13 so perhaps you could attempt to brainwash me into following your political cult, thus ensuring a guaranteed vote for red every 3-4 years.
Let's face it, if Labour had their way, they'd give 13 year olds the right to vote (along with driving licences, interest free student loans, right to consume alcohol etc) cos it's all about appealing to the masses.
