"The tax that was supposed to soak the rich has instead soaked America. The

beneficiary of the income tax has not been the poor, but big government. The

income tax has given us a government bureaucracy that outnumbers the

manufacturing work force. It has created welfare dependencies that have

entrapped millions of Americans in an underclass that is forced to live a

sordid existence of trading votes for government handouts."

-- Paul Craig Roberts

(1939- ) Economist, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration ("Father of Reaganomics"), former editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and Scripps Howard News Service.
