However, I quite agree with you in relationship to the taxes we have to pay, especially savings. This too is where the quote is relevant... those gathering the taxes have obtained that wealth by quick and easy means...

In my humble opinion and nobody has to agree, there is something wrong when I pay 33% tax on all my earnings (I don't mind) but I do mind that when I put my savings in the bank that I get a tax penalty for having savings.... The saying is beautiful, but in my eyes "wishful thinking" and I hope I don't offend anybody. I love the picture with it. A wonderful series pictures from the "war elephants"....
