Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
I do not see why the schoolmaster should be taxed to support the priest, and not the priest the schoolmaster.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I think it's terrible for people in effect to say that income from investment should be taxed at a much lower rate than income from labor.
Howard Warren Buffett
Image
We don't need more politicians insisting we have deficits because you're not taxed enough. Those deficits ballooned from an economy that didn't grow enough and from 50 years of government spending too much.
Ronald Reagan
Image
I don't feel under-taxed in any way at all.
Jack Welch
Image
I have issues with inheritance tax, particularly coming from a migrant family. My dad has worked incredibly hard all his life, so it seems odd to me that someone who has gone through that experience and has managed to save then gets taxed for dying.

A general principle of good taxation is that similar jobs, and similar kinds of compensation, should be taxed the same way: otherwise, the government is effectively subsidizing some jobs over others.
James Surowiecki
Image
Income earned by the sweat of your brow should be taxed at the lowest rates, not the highest. Capital gains should be taxed at a higher rate.
John C. Bogle
Image
It must always be remembered, however, that it is the luxuries, and not the necessary expense of the inferior ranks of people, that ought ever to be taxed.
Adam Smith
Image
God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.
John Piper
Image
It should not prejudice my voice that I'm not born a man, if I say something advantageous to the present situation. For I'm taxed too, and as a toll provide men for the nation.
Aristophanes
Image
If a group of people - leaders - can convince a group of folk who barely have a pot to piss in that the rich shouldn't be taxed-- THAT is leadership!
Lewis Black
Image
Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100 per cent of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed.
Barack Obama, Sr.
Image
Women's property has been taxed, equally with that of men's, to sustain colleges endowed by the states but they have not been permitted to enter those high seminaries of learning.
Lucretia Mott
Image
In almost every instance, air and water quality goals were met more cheaply and quickly when we taxed pollution than when we tried to regulate it directly.
Bob Frank
Image
And here's the fact: the fact is it doesn't solve the problem. First of all, if you taxed these people at 100 percent, basically next year you said, 'Look, every penny you make next year the government's going to take it from you,' it still doesn't solve the debt.
Marco Rubio
Image
We need to be acting responsible as adults, and I don't endorse in any way the irresponsible use of marijuana. But I do believe we have come to a point in our society where we need to end prohibition. We need to have taxed, regulated marijuana within American communities.
Cory Booker
Image
Currently, not only are Americans taxed on what they earn, but those assets are taxed again when they are passed on to a loved one.
Mary Bono
Image
We're the highest taxed in the world, we're the highest taxed country right now, and it's not even close.
Donald Trump
Image
Let me tell you what the Tea Party stands for. It stands for the fact that we are taxed enough already.
Michele Bachmann
Image
All capitalists should be like Warren Buffett, and he says he should be taxed more.
Ed Asner
Image
The American people I talk to don't spend every moment thinking, 'How can I tax my neighbor more than they're being taxed?' They say, 'How can I get a good job? How can my kids get good jobs? How can seniors have a confidence in their future when they know that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are bankrupt?'
Mitt Romney
Image
The American economy is driven by small business. And there's nothing basically to create incentives for small businesses. We've done no tax reform. They're the highest-taxed group in the country. And corporations can go anywhere they want and do whatever they want. Small businesses have to stay.
