First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed.

Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of congress... but then I repeat myself.

Mark Twain

The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that a taxidermist leaves the skin.
Mark Twain

A government big enough to give you everything you want , is strong enough to take everything you have.
Thomas Jefferson

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and repeat the facts.
Will Rogers

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
Frederic Bastiat

I 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

A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.
G Gordon Liddy

"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all."
