Flat Tax Rate

Famous quotes containing the words flat, tax and/or rate:

    Castaway, your time is a flat sea that doesn’t stop,
    with no new land to make for and no new stories to swap.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I come into the peace of wild things
    who do not tax their lives with forethought
    of grief.
    Wendell Berry (b. 1934)

    I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
