I don't think either one of them knows what it's all about, to be honest with you. Both sides are doing nothing but just looking towards the next election.

This country has gotten where it is in spite of politics, not by the aid of it. That we have carried as much political bunk as we have and still survived shows we are a super nation.
Will Rogers

People don't change under governments. Governments change. People remain the same.

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.

The old horse is coming back in a high lope. Thousands of people are riding a horse today that five years ago couldn't sit in a Ford with all the doors locked.

Cities are like gentlemen, they are born, not made. You are either a city, or you are not, size has nothing to do with it. I bet San Francisco was a city from the very first time it had a dozen settlers. New York is Yokel, but San Francisco is City at Heart.

Americans are getting like a Ford car, they all have the same exact parts, the same upholstering and make exactly the same noises.

If your Income Taxes go to help out the less fortunate, there could be no legitimate kick against it in the world. This is becoming the richest, and the poorest Country in the world. Why? Why, on account of an unequal distribution of the money.

You can't fool all of the people all of the time. But it isn't necessary.
Will Rogers
Image
There are two things I don't care how smart you are, you will never understand. One is an alienist's testimony, and the other is a railroad timetable.

I remember when being liberal meant being generous with your own money.

The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is a match.

I see by the papers that they are going to do away with all the nuisance taxes. That means that a man can get a marriage license for nothing.

Now I am not unpatriotic, and I want to do my bit, so I hereby offer my services to my President, my country and my friends to do anything, outside of serving on a commission, that I can in this great movement. But you will have to give me some idea of where confidence is. And just who you want it restored to.
