Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
Will Rogers
Image
Millions and millions of people don't pay an income tax, because they don't earn enough to pay on one, but you pay a land tax whether it ever did or ever will earn you a penny. You should pay on things that you buy outside of bare necessities. I think this sales tax is the best tax we have had in years.

I love words but I don't like strange ones. You don't understand them and they don't understand you. Old words is like old friends, you know 'em the minute you see 'em.
Will Rogers

The sales tax is the best and most equitable tax. The gasoline tax, which is nothing but a sales tax, has proven painless, productive and punitive. Everything we buy should have its equal proportion of tax, outside of cheap food and cheap clothes.

About all I can say for the United States Senate is that it opens with a prayer and closes with an investigation.

If you are trying to get out of the hole, stop digging.

Don't just grab at the first thing that comes along. Know when to refuse something that won't get you anywhere
Will Rogers
Image
We cuss Congress, and we joke about 'em, but they are all good fellows at heart, and if they wasn't in Congress, why, they would be doing something else against us that might be even worse.
Will Rogers

Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.

Government spending? I don't know what it's all about. I don't know any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he doesn't know much.
