Wall Street is being investigated, but they are not asleep while it's being done. You see where the Senate took that tax off the sales of stocks, didn't you? Saved 'em $48,000,000. Now, why don't somebody investigate the Senate and see who got to them to get that tax removed? That would be a real investigation.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Why don't somebody print the truth about our present economic situation? We spent six years of wild buying on credit - everything under the sun, whether we needed it or not - and now we are having to pay for 'em, and we are howling like a pet coon.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Those tax-exempt bonds were put in so that a town or a state or a government could sell more bonds than it ought to.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The government sent the Indians to Oklahoma. They had a treaty that said, 'You shall have this land as long as grass grows and water flows.' It was not only a good rhyme but looked like a good treaty, and it was till they struck oil. Then the Government took it away from us again. They said the treaty only refers to 'Water and Grass; it don't say anything about oil.'
Quote by -Will Rogers
Lobbyists have more offices in Washington than the President. You see, the President only tells Congress what they should do. Lobbyists tell'em what they will do.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat! If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone 'America died from a delusion that she had moral leadership.'
Quote by -Will Rogers
There is no credit to being a comedian, when you have the whole Government working for you. All you have to do is report the facts. I dont even have to exaggerate.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Lord, the money we do spend on Government and it's not one bit better than the government we got for one-third the money twenty years ago.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The government says they have loaned over One Billion dollars to the Farmers. In other words, we can't help you make any money, but we will show you where you can owe some more.
Quote by -Will Rogers
A debt is just as hard for a Government to pay as it is for an individual. No debt ever comes due at a good time. Borrowing is the only thing that seems handy all the time.
Quote by -Will Rogers
If you have a radio, the next three months is a good time to have it quit working. All you will hear from now until the 4th of November will be: 'We must get our government out of the hands of predatory wealth.' 'The good people of this great country are burdened to death with taxes. Now what I intend to do is ...' What he intends to do is try and get elected. That's all any of them intend to do. Another one that will hum over the old static every night will be: 'This country has reached a crisis in its national existence.'
Quote by -Will Rogers
Government spending? I don't know what it's all about. I don't know any more about this thing than an economist does, and, God knows, he doesn't know much.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The South is dry and will vote dry. That is, everybody that is sober enough to stagger to the polls will.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Conferences are just like the poor and the Democrats, they will always be with us.
Quote by -Will Rogers
If you eliminate the names of Lincoln, Washington, Roosevelt, Jackson and Wilson, both conventions would get out three days earlier.

He [Calvin Coolidge] is the first president to discover that what the American people want is to be left alone.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The Republicans have a habit of having three bad years and one good one, and the good one always happens to be election years.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The business of government is to keep the government out of business - that is, unless business needs government aid.
Quote by -Will Rogers
All I know is just what I read in the Congressional Record. They have had some awful funny articles in there lately. As our government deteriorates, our humor increases.
Quote by -Will Rogers
There's a simple solution to our traffic problems. We'll have business build the roads, and government build the cars.
Quote by -Will Rogers
People don't change under governments. Governments change. People remain the same.
Quote by -Will Rogers
How is the government going to get the extra taxes? Out of the rich, or just out of the poor, as usual?
Quote by -Will Rogers
Government investigations have always contributed more to our amusement than they have to our knowledge.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Will somebody please tell me what they do with all the Vice-Presidents a bank has? Why the United States is the biggest business institution in the world, and they got only one Vice-President and nobody has ever found anything for him to do.
Quote by -Will Rogers
As bad as we sometimes think our government is run, it is the best run I ever saw.
Quote by -Will Rogers
There is not a man in the country that can't make a living for himself and his family. But he can't make a living for them AND the government, too, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap as the people.
Quote by -Will Rogers
On account of us being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you

It's easy being a humorist when you've got the whole government working for you.
Quote by -Will Rogers
If you make any money, the government shoves you in the creek once a year with it in your pockets, and all that don't get wet you can keep.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven't had one since Taft. Look at the United States, they have not had one since Lincoln.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what's going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?
Quote by -Will Rogers
When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.
