"The best way to look at the U.S. Tax Code is like it's a three legged mule. It's ugly, deformed, and doesn't do much good for anybody." - Dick Armey, member of the U.S. House of Representatives, 1985 - 2003.

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865
