Jasper County Democrat, Volume 21, Number 96, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 March 1919 — INCOME TAX PAYS FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS. [ARTICLE]

INCOME TAX PAYS FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS.

“Viewed In Its largest and truest sense, the payment of taxes is payment for benefits received or “expected. Only from a narrow and essentially selfish and shortsighted viewpoint can the individual propose to himself the evasion of tax liability as a desirable course of action.” — Daniel C. Roper, Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
