Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax.

Summary

This quote highlights the power of independent thought and emphasizes that it is a resource that cannot be controlled or monetized.

It suggests that one's ability to think critically and shape their ideas remains untouchable, reinforcing the notion that independent thinking is a valuable asset that cannot be quantified or regulated.
