Fair Taxes
At a business conference at the Montpelier, VT, capitol, the state tax commissioner asked the audience which sort of taxation they found fairest.

There was a pause, and then a white-haired man in the back raised his hand. "The poll tax," he said.

"But the poll tax was repealed," replied the commissioner.

"Ay-yup," declared the man, "That's what I like about it."
