Americans Quotes

The tax that was supposed to soak the rich has instead soaked America. The beneficiary of the income tax has not been the poor, but big government.

The Last American Man by Elizabeth Gilbert... I don't live inside buildings because buildings are dead places where nothing grows, where water doesn't flow, and where life stops.
