“A los ricos no nos gusta pagar impuestos. Preferimos la caridad y la solidaridad. Los impuestos financian derechos que los ciudadanos acaban considerando de su propiedad y ejerciendo como si les fueran propios. La caridad y la solidaridad financian dádivas y concesiones que representan un derechos de los señores, jamás un derecho de los ciudadanos.

Los impuestos son obligatorios y anónimos. La caridad supone un ejercicio voluntario y se puede publicitar abundantemente.”
