I 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. -- Winston Churchill
There is no such thing as a good tax.
Winston Churchill
Lady to Churchill...The baby looks just like you.
Churchill's response...Madam, all babies look like me.
Now what a character he was. Loved and hated all at the same time.
Aw, what's to hate?? A jolly great Englishman, stiff upper lip, what?
Oy! :laugh:
And his Mum was from where? 8)
Do you need to ask or do you just want to see if anyone else knows?
Wilma, I do know where she was from, just checking some of the other history buffs?
New York right?

Alright I'll bite on this. Just to tease my Uncle Frank. Quoting an Englishman on taxes? Boston Tea Party, Revolutionary War. The fact that we pay less taxes than England does now. Churchill was a great man. My Uncle Frank is a very smart man. My mom always told me I got my ornery streak from her side of the family.
Love you Uncle Frank, good to see you posting more than the oil report. Missed your political commentary.

Love you to David, Obama, Pelosi and Reid will be sure that the English tax rate does not stay higher than ours.
Have a good day.
Uncle Frank
