Calvin Coolidge warning that any dishonest tax threatens our security and freedom.
“The property of the people belongs to the people. To take it from them by taxation cannot be justified except by urgent public necessity. Unless this principle be recognized our country is no longer secure, our people no longer free.”
— Calvin Coolidge, Message To The House Of Representatives Returning Without Approval A Bill Providing For Adjusted Compensation For War Veterans, on May 15, 1924.
