There is some talk of lowering (the income tax), and they will have to. People are not making enough to pay it.
Quote by -Will Rogers
But we can't alibi all our ills by just knocking the old banker. First he loaned the money, then the people all at once wanted it back, and he didn't have it. Now he's got it again, and is afraid to loan it, so the poor devil don't know what to do.
Quote by -Will Rogers
If a bank fails in China, they behead the men at the top of it that was responsible... If we beheaded all of ours that were responsible for bank failures, we wouldn't have enough people left to bury the heads.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Mothers are the only race of people that speak the same tongue. A mother in Manchuria could converse with a mother in Nebraska and never miss a word.
Quote by -Will Rogers
On prohibiting anybody from learning anything: Why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
Quote by -Will Rogers
There is a terrible lot of us who don't think that we come from a monkey, but if there are some people who think that they do, why, it's not our business to rob them of what little pleasure they might get out of imagining it.
Quote by -Will Rogers
People should be more concerned with the return of their principal than the return on their principal.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Don't wait to buy land, Buy land and wait. Find out where the people are going and buy the land before they get there.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The only real diplomacy ever performed by a diplomat is in deceiving their own people after their dumbness has got them into a war.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Parades should be classed as a Nuisance and participants should be subject to a term in prison. They stop more work, inconvenience more people, stop more traffic, cause more accidents, entail more expense, and commit and cause I don't remember the other hundred misdemeanors.
Quote by -Will Rogers
If you want to know how a man stands, go among the people who are in his same business.
Quote by -Will Rogers
He [Calvin Coolidge] is the first president to discover that what the American people want is to be left alone.
Quote by -Will Rogers
We have killed more people celebrating our independence day than we lost fighting for it.
Quote by -Will Rogers
People want just taxes more than they want lower taxes. They want to know that every man is paying his proportionate share according to his wealth.
Quote by -Will Rogers
So here we are in a country with more wheat and corn and more money in the bank, more cotton, more everything in the world-there's not a product that you can name that we haven't got more of than any other country ever had on the face of the earth-and yet we've got people starving. We'll hold the distinction of being the only nation in the history of the world that ever went to the poor house in an automobile.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I was born because it was a habit in those days, people didn't know anything else.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Legalize racing in every State. Sure people will bet, but they get to see the horses run and you certain can't see General Motors and General Electric and General Utility run when you bet on them.
Quote by -Will Rogers
Now these fellows in Washington wouldn't be so serious and particular if they only had to vote on what they thought was good for the majority of the people in the U.S. That would be a cinch. But what makes it hard for them is every time a bill comes up they have things to decide that have nothing to do with the merit of the bill. The principal thing is of course: What will this do for me personally back home?
Quote by -Will Rogers
People don't change under governments. Governments change. People remain the same.
Quote by -Will Rogers
It is awful hard to get people interested in corruption unless they can get some of it.
Quote by -Will Rogers
You know Lincoln's famous remark about "God must have loved the common people, because he made so many of them?" Well, you are not going to get people's votes nowadays by calling 'em common. Lincoln might have said it, but I bet it was not until after he was elected.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The American people are a very generous people and will forgive almost any weakness, with the possible, exception of stupidity.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I don't know how a lot of these nations existed as long as they have till we could get some of our people around and show 'em how to be good and pure like us.
Quote by -Will Rogers
People are marvelous in their generosity, if they just know the cause is there.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I have always noticed that people will never laugh at anything that is not based on truth.
Quote by -Will Rogers
In time of crisis people want to know that you care, more than they care what you know
Quote by -Will Rogers
The problem in America isn't so much what people don't know; the problem is what people think they know that just ain't so.
Quote by -Will Rogers
This stuff they are talking here in Congress costs the people of the United States $44 a page. That's beside what it costs to ship it to the asylums where it's read.
Quote by -Will Rogers
This thing about getting rid of a man in the Cabinet is all right, but there is one bad feature to it that few people realize. That is, that unfortunately every one of them is replaced by someone else. If it wasn't for that, this resignation business would be great.
Quote by -Will Rogers
I see a good deal of talk from Washington about lowering taxes-I hope they do get 'em lowered enough so people can afford to pay 'em
Quote by -Will Rogers
The president says, 'There is lots of people worse off than the Farmers.' I don't know who it could be unless it is the fellow who holds the Mortgages on the Farms.
Quote by -Will Rogers
The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has. Even when you make a tax form out on the level, you don't know when it's through if you are a crook or a martyr.
Quote by -Will Rogers
For the American people are a very generous people and will forgive almost any weakness, with the possible exception of stupidity
Quote by -Will Rogers
The way to judge a good comedy is by how long it will last and have people talk about it. Now Congress had turned out some that have lived for years and people are still laughing about them.
Quote by -Will Rogers
An onion can make people cry, but there has never been a vegetable invented to make them laugh.

Quote by -Will Rogers
If they really want to honor the boys, why don't they let them sit in the stands and have the people march by?
Quote by -Will Rogers
One-third of the people in the United States promote, while the other two-thirds provide.
Quote by -Will Rogers
In Hollywood the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can't read. If they could read their stuff, they'd stop writing.
