I know that I pay 48 percent of my income to taxes. You know, I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't going just to export war. If it was actually going to help the people of the United States, I would gladly pay more.

It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.

It's a privilege to pay taxes. Yeah! It's not a political question, folks. We have to pay for stuff.

For which reason I would exhort you to pay all due Regard to the government over us; to the KING and all in authority; and to lead a quiet and peaceable life.

This is a global effort we're going to have to lead to overcome this jihadist effort. It's more than Osama bin Laden. But he is going to pay, and he will die.

Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both.

If we finally chose as a country to take responsibility for the wars that we believe we must engage in, and rather than borrow money to exercise that authority to go to war, we actually pay for these wars, that would save us over a trillion dollars, because that's what we have spent in Iraq and Afghanistan - all through borrowed money.

Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price.

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

Americans sometimes ask what the government does and where their tax money goes. Among other things, it pays for all kinds of invisible but essential safety nets and life belts and guardrails that are useless right up until the day they are priceless.
