“I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. If a Country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die.

“They have passed the big inheritance tax, and that gets you when you are gone. You used to could die and be able to beat taxes, but not now. The undertaker don't go over your body as carefully as the assessor does your accumilated assets, and he gets his before the undertaker. They have it on these big fortunes now where they pay as high as 60 to 70 percent of what they leave. That's mighty expensive dying when it runs into money like that, and you won't see 'em dropping off as casually as they have been.” DoeHas BeensBodyBigsRunningAbleUsedDiesPayGoneDyingTaxesBeatsPercentFortuneYour BodyExpensiveEmsOver YouAssetsInheritanceDroppingUndertakerInheritance Tax Author:Will Rogers

“I believe in a wall between church and state so high that no one can climb over it. When religion controls government, political liberty dies; and when government controls religion, religious liberty perishes. Every American has the constitutional right not to be taxed or have his tax money expended for the establishment of religion. For too long the issue of government aid to church related organizations has been a divisive force in our society and in the Congress. It has erected communication barriers among our religions and fostered intolerance.” BelieveLongHas BeensStatesGovernmentPoliticalDiesForceI BelieveChurchReligiousLibertyIssuesAtheismCommunicationWallTaxesOrganizationCongressI Believe InAidsRelatedClimbsOur SocietyBarriersOver ItEstablishmentIntoleranceChurch And StateReligious LibertyGovernment Aid Author:Sam Ervin
