Taxed into a State of Liberty

Published: March 20, 2021, 8:34 p.m.

Those who give up liberty for security deserve neither.

I used to love this quote from Benjamin Franklin. This was up to the time when I learned he actually didn’t say that. He did say the following on behalf of the Pennsylvania Assembly in its Reply to the Governor in 1755.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Here I try to find a bit of humor when it comes to need to have a bit of taxation to have any type of society.
