“There are times when I wouldn't rule violence out. I personally don't like violence at all. But it wasn't until we had the Trafalgar Square riots that the Poll Tax went out in Britain. When people take to the streets and fight the police, it's the one thing the government can't control. You can march round in circles for the rest of your life and they can ignore it, but once you start damaging property and fighting with the police, they can't. Even though they tar you with a brush and say you're a set of bastards, they have to actually tone down what they are doing.” PeopleGovernmentFightingViolenceOne ThingStreetsTaxesPolicePropertyRoundsCirclesToneBritainMarchSquaresBrushesPollsRest Of Your LifeRiot Author:Alice Nutter
“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. And yet we routinely hear about opinion polls that reveal that the public likes the tax level as it is and might even like it higher. 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
“It's one thing to maintain that upper-income earners should pay higher tax rates because they are better able to shoulder the burden for essential government services.

“Punishing enemies and rewarding friends - politics Chicago style - seems to be the unifying principle that helps explain the Obamacare waivers, the NLRB action against Boeing and IRS's gift tax assault on 501(c)(4) donors.
