Death and Taxes
Sep 11, 2021
Benjamin Franklin’s famous quote with some relevant context …
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 … but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
― Benjamin Franklin, The Private Correspondence of Benjamin Franklin, LL.
