Famous quotes containing the words tax and/or individuals:

    “I find nothing healthful or exalting in the smooth conventions of society. I do not like the close air of saloons. I begin to suspect myself to be a prisoner, though treated with all this courtesy and luxury. I pay a destructive tax in my conformity.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
