This statement is untrue. Although Benjamin Franklin DID state this in a letter to French physicist and writer, Jean- Baptiste Leroy. Daniel Defoe, in fact, said the statement, " Things as certain as death and taxes can be more firmly believed."
Proving the above statement wrong.
Death and taxes.
The quote is "The only thing certain is death and taxes." and Benjamin Franklin said it.
Benjamin Franklin is credited in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919) with saying "...in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes" in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy dated 13 November 1789.
Death and taxes
Benjamin Franklin.
It's basically a sarcastic phrase of things we can't avoid, but it's mostly aimed at the displeasure of having to pay taxes. And we know we will all die one day, so that is something that is definitely a 'sure thing', too.
Only one thing: certain death.
The same thing happens as in any other state: If the property taxes are not paid, the city or town can take possession of the property by virtue of a tax taking. Such takings are governed by state law. The mortgage being paid makes no difference. There is considerable truth in the old saying that there is "Nothing certain but death - and taxes."
yes there are taxes on every thing you buy
The King enfored it. By death, taxes, jail. Whatever was suitable for the thing they did
You're own mind is the only thing that is, for certain, true. The ultimate thing that is true in life is death every other thing could simply be figments of your imagination.
its a bad thing to lower tax because it would effect certain projects in our economy. thank you u.s.a i don't know the real answer i took a guess bye bye chow adios
