"Are you thinking that death and taxes are our only certainty.....? Well, there's nothing I can do about the first, but if I lift the burden of the second, men might learn to see the connection between the two and what a longer, happier life they have the power to achieve. They might learn to hold, not death and taxes, but life and production as their two absolutes and as the base of their moral code." -Ragnar Danneskjold in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
