Tax Quotes

A corporation's primary goal is to make money. Government's primary role is to take a big chunk of that money and give it to others.
-- Tax Quotes by Larry Ellison

The politicians say "we" can't afford a tax cut. Maybe we can't afford the politicians.
-- Tax Quotes by Steve Forbes

Start by scrapping the tax code. Don't fiddle with it. Junk it. Throw it out. Bury it. Replace it with a pro-growth, pro-family tax cut that lowers tax rates to 17% across the board and expands exemptions for individuals and children so that a family of four would pay no taxes on the first $36,000 of income.
-- Tax Quotes by Steve Forbes

The flat tax would be so simple, you could fill it out on a post card. A post card that would say, in effect, having a wonderful time; glad most of my money is here.
-- Tax Quotes by Steve Forbes

The most important ways in which I think the Internet will affect the big issue is that it will make it more difficult for government to collect taxes.
-- Tax Quotes by Milton Friedman

There's an old saying that the government is your partner from birth, but they don't get to come to all the meetings.
-- Tax Quotes by John Malone

Everyone wants a more simple tax system. But if this means that certain tax breaks have to be cut, people are no longer so enthusiastic.
-- Tax Quotes by Angela Merkel

President Bush announced his new economic plan. The centerpiece was a proposed repeal of the dividend tax on stocks, a boon that could be worth millions of dollars to average Americans. Well, average stock-owning Americans. Technically, Americans who own a significant amount of shares in dividend-dealing companies. Well, rich people, that's what I'm trying to say. They're going to do really well with this.
-- Tax Quotes by Jon Stewart

How about no income tax at all on people over 65? People would continue working, remain healthier, not be an economic and social drain on society. Then the elderly would also have more disposable income to help charitable activities.
-- Tax Quotes by John Templeton

We also need to reduce corporate tax rates. This applies to small, medium and large businesses. At 35 percent, we have the second highest corporate rates in the world. It restricts the growth of small enterprises that need to plow capital back into their businesses and forces companies and jobs to move overseas.
-- Tax Quotes by Meg Whitman

In my judgment, we have to avoid, at all costs, tax increases. That would be the worst possible thing to do and will make a bad economy even worse. Beyond that, targeted tax relief should be expanded upon.
-- Tax Quotes by Meg Whitman

The change we need is fixing this broken economy from the bottom up.. not tax breaks for the wealthy and huge corporations that ship U.S. jobs overseas. We need to focus on defeating al Qaeda and the Taliban and restoring America's standing in the world.. not an unending commitment in Iraq.
-- Tax Quotes by Joe Biden

Eliminating the tax breaks is not going to keep jobs here in America. We've got to make it more attractive to have jobs here in America and for corporations to be here. You've got to take the burden off the corporations with a health care system that's universal, so we're not at a competitive disadvantage. You've got to have a better education system to provide for the highest-tech jobs that we educate our folks for, so we're not importing 400,000 computer engineers to work in Silicon Valley. And you've got to deal with the innovation and infrastructure needs in this country.. tunnels, bridges, etc... which we haven't done to make us more competitive.
-- Tax Quotes by Joe Biden

Taxes are not good things, but if you want services, somebody's got to pay for them so they're a necessary evil.
-- Tax Quotes by Michael Bloomberg

We believe the American people can spend their money better than the government can spend it.
-- Tax Quotes by George Bush

Keeping taxes low and restraining spending leads to a vibrant economy; it leads to new jobs; it leads to better opportunities; and it leads to a shrinking deficit.
-- Tax Quotes by George Bush

We believe ranchers and farmers and family business owners can make better decisions about the future than the government can.
-- Tax Quotes by George Bush

Rich people always have a certain degree of debt. Apparently it helps to reduce taxes. I'm not so hot on the bean-counting side.
