Tax Quotes

""Our government has found that the most effective way to control a person is not by the ballot or the bullet, but rather by the 'bucket'. Today, in a country that fought a revolution to rid itself of a repressive government and excessive taxes, government takes 40 percent of everything we earn in the form of taxes." -- Byron C. Radaker Chairman and C.E.O., Congoleum Corp. Source

"Eight decades of amendments... to (the) code have produced a virtually impenetrable maze... The rules are unintelligible to most citizens... The rules are equally mysterious to many government employees who are charged with administering and enforcing the law." -- Shirley Peterson Former IRS Commissioner 2/28/2002 Source: Citizens' Truth-In-Taxation Hearing, Washington D.C.
