Stick to the purpose of the thread. There's more to this than whining about taxes. In fact, there's nothing in the WLC Q&A that complains about the State so let's stay on topic.
Sorry. I had been looking for that Proverbs reference for a while and got too excited. I won't mention more except it would be in the State's benefit to allow the producer to re-invest his capital, instead of taxing it excessively. While it may appear off topic, it is hard to procure wealth in high taxation. But I won't say more on it.
