Lafayette In New England In 1825 – Burlington VT June 29

Lafayette In New England In 1825 – Burlington VT June 29

“To the Revolutionary Soldiers: – I am delighted, my dear comrades, whenever I find myself among my revolutionary brothers in arms; for we were all brothers fighting in the same cause of independence and freedom; we all enjoy together the happy results of our toils; yet it is to me a particular gratification to recognize among you many of the intimate companions who served with me in the army, and several of my beloved Light Infantry soldiers.  If I have obtained, in our military events, some fortunate days, it is to your gallantry in action, your perseverance under every hardship, to your personal affection, that I am indebted for them.  That name, so dear to my heart, of the soldier’s friend, which you gave me in my youth, I am happy again to find on your lips in old age.  Receive, dear comrades, my most affectionate thanks, love and good wishes.”

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
