Nothing is Sure But Death & Taxes!*

* Esp taxes!!!!!

During his general audience address last Wed (19 Sept 2007) Papa Benedetto was talking about the life & times of St. John Chrysostom. At 1 point he veered slightly from his prepared comments.

"The year 387 was John's "heroic year," the so-called statue revolt. The people knocked down the imperial statues, as a sign of protest against tax increases."

"You can see that some things never change throughout history."

Well, he is called to proclaim the truth!!!!!

No One Likes Taxes, Says Benedict XVI
