I believe that there should be a very much heavier progressive tax on very large incomes, a tax which should increase in a very marked fashion for the gigantic incomes.
The capital gains tax is 15 percent now. So I sit there in my office and I make a lot of money by capital gains, and I pay 15 percent, and I pay no payroll tax on it.
Print neatly. That's the kind of advice that the IRS considers a "dynamite" tax tip. If you ask them a real tax question, such as how you can cheat, they're useless.
Government schools, with your tax money, now discourage the teaching of multiplication tables by rote memorization but teach reading by the 'look-and-say' method which is memorization of spelling patterns. In doing so, they ensure that children will neither be able to read nor calculate.
I love a reciprocal tax. Nobody can fight it, it's fair and it's something that we are working on very strongly.
You can’t tax business. Business doesn’t pay taxes. It collects taxes.
I assume the president's going to say he got bad intelligence. . . I think that wherever you see poverty, whether it's in the white rural community or the black urban community, you see that the resources have been sucked up into the war and tax cuts for the rich.
The only thing that hurts more than paying an income tax is not having to pay an income tax.
The important prediction is not the automobile, but the parking problem; not radio, but the soap opera; not the income tax, but the expense account; not the Bomb, but the nuclear stalemate
I always heard criticism is the tax on fame. They were right. And then some.
We are looking for a Wealth Tax that will bring in sufficient revenue to justify having a wealth tax.
Having faith in the plan of salvation includes steadfastly refusing to be diverted from our true identities and responsibilities. In the brief season of our existence on earth we may serve as a plumber, professor, farmer, physician, mechanic, bookkeeper, or teacher. These are useful activities and honorable designations; but a temporary vocation is not reflective of our true identities. Matthew was a tax collector, Luke a physician, and Peter a fisherman. In a salvational sense, 'so what!'
There cannot be a good tax nor a just one; every tax rests its case on compulsion.
The Conservative Party is a tax cutting party or it is nothing.
The Democrats are obsessing about raising tax rates, while the GOP talks about closing loopholes.
I find it remarkable that virtually all of the large difference in labor supply between France and the United States is due to differences in tax systems. I expected institutional constraints on the operation of labor markets and the nature of the unemployment benefit system to be more important. I was surprised that the welfare gain from reducing the intratemporal tax wedge is so large.
The tax system is stacked against the average taxpayer.
We have undocumented immigrants in America who are paying more federal income tax than a billionaire. I find that just astonishing.
I'm for tax reform, not tax increases.
