2 Thoughts on this, which do you think more applies:


"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." - Winston Churchill


"What good fortune for governments that the people do not think." - Adolf Hitler
