I went to university for a couple of years and I didn't enjoy university. The studying and the accountancy, economics, I just hated that stuff.

There can be no such thing as 'fairness in taxation.' Taxation is nothing but organized theft, and the concept of a 'fair tax' is therefore every bit as absurd as that of 'fair theft.'
Murray Rothbard
