“One thing that I'm really interested in is the kind of esoteric detail that surrounds these great figures. And Wikipedia is full of that kind of stuff, whether it's true or untrue.

“The most absurd public opinion polls are those on taxes. Now, if there is one thing we know about taxes, it is that people do not want to pay them. If they wanted to pay them, there would be no need for taxes. People would gladly figure out how much of their money that the government deserves and send it in.

Next they will tell us that the public thinks the crime rate is too low, or that the American people would really like to be in more auto accidents.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantNeedsGovernmentMightWould BeWantedNextLevelsPayOpinionOne ThingCrimeFiguresHigherTaxesLowsDeserveRateAccidentsLikesAbsurdPublic OpinionPollsCrime RatesOpinion Polls Author:Llewellyn Rockwell
