The
more one governs, the less one achieves the desired result.....The more
restrictions and prohibitions there are in the world, the poorer the people
will be......The more laws are promulgated, the more thieves and bandits
there will be.
When taxes are too high, people will go hungry;
When the government is too intrusive, people lose their spirit.
Act for the people's benefit. Trust them, leave them alone.
Governing a large country is like frying a small fish; you spoil it with too
much poking.
By
: Lao Tsu
Founder
of Taoism 2500 years ago
As
quoted in For Good and Evil, The Impact of Taxes on the Course of
Civilization by Charles Adams
