At other points in the nation’s history, perhaps the tax gap was of less importance to some in government.
Talking about taxes, Nobel Prize-winning Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw wryly observed: “A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.” Herman Wouk, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Caine Mutiny,” was more pointed when he said: “Income taxes are the most imaginative fiction written today.”

The Tennessee Williams birthplace welcomes a steady flow of visitors, and their conversations fill his early childhood home. This blend of function and cultural meaning keeps the house vibrant and alive.
Visitors often enter the Columbus, Mississippi Welcome Center seeking directions, a restroom, or a brochure. They rarely expect to step into the preserved home of one of America’s most famous playwrights. That moment of surprise is central to the house on Main Street, which is used, passed through, and discovered.

By Austin Bishop
7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
