Hello world! - January 23rd, 2009

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

“Our Constitution is in actual operation; everything appears to promise that it will last; but in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.” Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) US Founding Father

Judge Learned Hand (1872-1961)

"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands." Judge Learned Hand (1872-1961), Judge, U. S. Court of Appeals
