Famous tax quotes
Another tax season is coming upon us . In researching a different topic , I stumbled across this compilation of tax quotes that was published in one of our newspapers in the early ‘ 80s . It is ironic how well it still fits today .
• “ There is one difference between a tax collector and a taxidermist : the taxidermist leaves the hides .” – Mortimer Caplan , former IRS director
• “ The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has .” – Will Rogers
• “ Tax return : an annual work of fiction whose authorship is not confined to writers .” – Webster ’ s Unafraid Dictionary
• “ It is more deductible to give than receive .” – Henry Leabo
• “ Some taxpayers close their eyes , some stop their ears , some shut their mouths , but all pay through the nose .” – Evan Esar
Dale Kovar HJ GENERAL MANAGER
• “ An income tax form is like a laundry list . Either way you lose your shirt .” – Fred Allen
• “ Tax reform is when you take the taxes off things that have been taxed in the past and put taxes on things that haven ’ t been taxed before .” – Art Buchwald

• “ The schoolboy whips his taxed top ; the beardless youth manages his taxed horse with a taxed bridle on a taxed road ; and the dying Englishman , pouring his medicine , which has paid seven percent , into a spoon that has paid 15 percent , flings himself back upon his chintz bed which has paid 22 percent , and expires in the arms of an apothecary who has paid a license of a hundred pounds for the privilege of putting him to death .” – Sydney Smith
