NO TAXES?
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethoughts of grief. – Wendell Berry
No taxes – no future fears?
No takes – no worries for tomorrow?
No taxes – no negative attitudes?
No taxes – no vain imaginations?
No taxes – no shoulda, woulda, coulda?
Wow! This sounds too good to be true? How is this possible?
