The wisdom of man never yet contrived
a system of taxation that would
operate with perfect equality.

not only do they take so much more than is right, they continue to waste, waste, waste.

from the federal on down to the local level, we need to cut out the waste.

we point fingers at other countries when our aid packages are squandered due to corruption and waste.

maybe we're looking in the mirror and don't like what we're seeing...
