Ray Stevens On Taxes
Y'know, as an agnostic I shouldn't even touch this, but I misdoubt any degree of official piety would induce our public servants to reduce their cut of our income to ten percent.
Ya'know, I'm told that one proposed version of the Constitutional Amendment that gave us the income tax had a maximum of 10% (or maybe 15%) written into it.
Strange, the one we ended up with had no such limitation.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

Can you imagine what lives we'd lead ... if the max tax rate ... here in the Great White North or in the US of A ... was only 10 percent?
Can you imagine?
