    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

    “As a Tax-Paying Citizen of the United States I am entitled to a voice in Governmental affairs.... Having paid this unlawful Tax under written Protest for forty years, I am entitled to receive from the Treasury of “Uncle Sam” the full amount of both Principal and Interest.”
    —Susan Pecker Fowler (1823–1911)

    ““... There, there,
    What you complain of, all the nations share.
    Their effort is a mounting ecstasy
    That when it gets too exquisite to bear
    Will find relief in one burst. You shall see.
    That’s what a certain bomb was sent to be.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
