“The State exists simply to promote and to protect the ordinary happiness of human beings in this life. A husband and wife chatting over a fire, a couple of friends having a game of darts in a pub, a man reading a book in his own room or digging in his own garden-that is what the State is there for. And unless they are helping to increase and prolong and protect such moments, all the laws, parliaments, armies, courts, police, economics, etc., are simply a waste of time.” MenHumansBookStatesMomentsHelpingLawReadingGamesHuman BeingsRoomsFireWifeCoupleProtectHusbandWasteOrdinaryEconomicsGardenIncreaseArmyPoliceCourtThis LifeEtcWasting TimeParliamentDiggingHusband And WifePubsChattingDarts Book:Mere Christianity Source: Mere Christianity

“Assuming that a tax increase is necessary, it is clearly preferable to impose the additional cost on land by increasing the land tax, rather than to increase the wage tax - the two alternatives open to the City (of Pittsburgh).

The average increase in tax bills of city residents will be about twice as great with wage tax increase than with a land tax increase.” NeedsTwoUseCitiesFireLandCostTaxesWasteIncreasePoliceBillsAssumingPropertyAverageProtectionAlternativesBudgetsItemsResidentsRemovalPittsburghTax IncreasesPolice Protection Author:Herbert Simon

“The goal is not to just have rapists expelled from schools. I don't want rapists transferring schools. I don't want them out there, being able to commit these crimes. I want them to go to prison. But if you understand this crime and you understand what happens in the reporting of this crime and the support that a victim does or does not get, you realize that our legislation increases the likelihood that a young woman will go to the police in a timely manner and that the police will investigate and that they will be able to administer real justice in the criminal system.” IfsWantDoeRealHappensAbleSchoolYoungGoalRealizingJusticeSupportCrimeIncreasePoliceVictimPrisonCriminalsCommitYoung WomenLegislationLikelihoodTimely Author:Claire McCaskill
