A Bit of Churchillian Wisdom on Taxation

"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."


Churchill with Queen Elizabeth IIPrince Charles and Princess Anne, 10 February 1953.

And if anyone could speak expertly about handles, it was Churhill. Just look. BTW Hamilton, can you find any words of wisdom from a woman? I don't think you've ever posted any, or any from anyone other than traditional white male role models. You're profiling yourself.

    How About Billionaires Pay Taxes
    Posted on: 2021-12-23 11:11:51   By: Anonymous
     
    The fact is most Billions do not pay any taxes. $Billions avoided each year.
    The Republicans, the party as always of the wealthy, blocks any efforts to have them pay taxes, rather, they when in power always give tax cuts on top of tax cuts, which many don't even pay any income taxes.
    Musk, Bezos, Gates etc are tax welfare queens, begging for tax avoidence schemes if they build in targeted cities.

    The distraction is raising taxes, when the Republicans always give tax cuts to those who don't need it.

    The Republican tax cuts are the main reason for the federal deficit.

      You understand that the billionaires you pointed out are all liberals right?
      All the rich and wealthy liberals including Hollywood in hi Tec The People you’re talking about which is funny you don’t even understand your own party. After a couple of liberal leaders get carjacked now everyone wants to fund the police again. Oh the irony
