Happy New Tax Year


The 6th of April is here again, and as we look forward to a new tax year I thought I'd share a collection of quotes from famous names on the subject of tax.

Rob Knauerhase
Isn't it appropriate that the month of the tax begins with 
April Fool's Day and ends with cries of 'May Day!'?

Albert Einstein
[on filing tax returns] This is too difficult for a mathematician. It takes a philosopher.

Winston Churchill
There is no such thing as a good tax.

John Maynard Keynes
The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that carries any reward.

Plato 
When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income.

Albert Einstein
The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.

Winston Churchill
We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

Calvin Coolidge
Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
  
Will Rogers
The difference between death and taxes is death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.

Roger Jones
I guess I think of lotteries as a tax on the mathematically challenged.

Mark Twain
The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.

Hope the New Tax Year brings you success and prosperity in 2012/13!
