Fair Taxes
Published Sep 07, 2003
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"But the poll tax was repealed," replied the commissioner.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."
