Grover Cleveland And Taxes

Grover Cleveland had the vision to see the ruthlessness of unnecessary taxation.  He understood how simple the opportunity to do it could evolve.  He was the 24th US President.

"When more of the people's sustenance is exacted through the form of taxation than is necessary to meet the just obligations of government, such exaction becomes ruthless extortion and a violation of the fundamental principles of a free government."          Grover Cleveland (1837-1908)
