THE GIPPER

"The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be
made to
pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians
preaching
this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate,
and
either one should scare us. Business doesn't pay taxes, and who
better
than business to make this message known? Only people pay taxes, and
people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a
business.
Begin with the food and fiber raised in the farm, to the ore drilled
in
a mine, to the oil and gas from out of the ground, whatever it may
be-through the processing, through the manufacturing, on out to the
retailer's license. If the tax cannot be included in the price of
the
product, no one along that line can stay in business." -Ronald
Reagan

This is not complicated, yet there are many who don't get it - or at
least hope you don't get it.
