WOO HOO!!!! Tax Day 2012 has arrived!
We’ve been slogging through stacks of taxes here at Foreman & Airhart and like everyone else, we are ready for the Tax Day to arrive. (well, technically its April 17th this year!) While this date on the calendar really doesn’t mean our work is done, it is a psychological milestone for accountants and clients alike. Here then, to celebrate this milestone are a few of our favorite, light hearted quotes about taxes:
“I am proud to be paying taxes in the United States. The only thing is – I could be just as proud for half the money.” — Arthur Godfrey, entertainer
“People who complain about taxes can be divided into two classes: men and women.” — Unknown
“Like mothers, taxes are often misunderstood, but seldom forgotten.” — Lord Bramwell, 19th Century English jurist
“The best measure of a man’s honesty isn’t his income tax return. It’s the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.” — Arthur C. Clarke, author
“Next to being shot at and missed, nothing is really quite as satisfying as an income tax refund.” — F. J. Raymond, humorist
A tax loophole is “something that benefits the other guy. If it benefits you, it is tax reform.” — Russell B. Long, U.S. Senator

“The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.” — Albert Einstein, physicist
