"Not with MY money!"
From Frank Capra’s 1938 Oscar-winning (Best Picture, Best Director) You Can’t Take It With You:
IRS Agent: “Our records show that you have never paid an income tax.”
Grandpa Vanderhoff (Lionel Barrymore): “That’s right.”
IRS Agent: “Why not?”
Grandpa Vanderhoff: “I don’t believe in it. ... What do I get for my money? ... I wouldn’t mind paying for something sensible.”
IRS Agent: “Something sensible. What about Congress and the Supreme Court and the President? We gotta pay them, don’t we?”
Grandpa Vanderhoff: “Not with my money.”

Great movie, great cast, with many great lines, but that one really nails it.
