Will Rogers
The crime of taxation is not in the taking it, it's in the way that it's spent.
Will Rogers
I am telling folks that the Country as a whole is Sound, and that all those who's heads are solid are bound to get back into the market again. I tell 'em that this Country is bigger than Wall Street, and if they don't believe it, I show 'em the map.
