The tendency of taxation is to create a class of persons who do not labor, to take from those who do labor the produce of that labor, and to give it to those who do not labor.
William Cobbett
Tax reform means, 'Don't tax you, don't tax me. Tax that fellow behind the tree.'
Russell B. Long
The income tax created more criminals than any other single act of government.
Barry Goldwater
Tax reform is taking the taxes off things that have been taxed in the past and putting taxes on things that haven't been taxed before.
Art Buchwald
Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.
William Cobbett
The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to get the most feathers with the least hissing.
Jean Baptiste Colbert
All taxation is an evil, but heavy taxes, indiscriminately levied on every everything are one of the greatest curses that can afflict a people.
Henry Brooks Adams
Here we go again pushing the burden of taxation on the backs of the homeowners and the senior citizens.
Stephen Urban
There are alcoholic beverages at different levels of price, and when you implement taxation, what happens is that the individuals who are able to purchase the alcoholic beverages that were more expensive just switch to less expensive ones.
Raul Caetano
The overseas-funded firms who have entered Chinese market will be permitted to enjoy preferential policies that they had been enjoyed before we adopt the new taxation systems.
Jin Renqing
Intangible assets are not subject to taxation in Michigan.
Michael Shapiro
It's the one and only tax that you get to vote directly on. Every other form of taxation that comes on you is determined by some other elected body, and you just take what they decide.
Steve Ayers
Fair taxation, that's the issue here. Anyone who puts any other kind of gloss on it is not reflecting the true state of affairs.
Robert Koch
We emphatically reject the idea that the only way we can restore our competitiveness is to reduce our level of taxation to Third-World levels.
Alan Tonelson
It's true that a settlement was reached with the taxation office and the settlement was not, as asserted in the report, for 150 million.
Robert Gerard
Out of all this incredible amount of work (may) rebase assessments in our area back to 2001. Then (the) assessments were fairly equal. (If rolled back) we will have a much lower tax base... the state board and department of taxation will have to work with us to try to achieve that result.
Maryanne Ingemanson
We British weren't all horrible monsters, there was some justification in asking for taxation from the colonies.
John Burnham
Our forefathers made one mistake. What they should have fought for was representation without taxation.
Fletcher Knebel
The reason for that is because the General Assembly has yet to pass a budget. Therefore, we have to base our six-year plan update on the latest revenue estimates from the Department of Taxation.
Lou Hatter
It's entirely consistent with taxation with representation.
Paul Lawrence
Ecuador is a tough economic jurisdiction. There has been recurring issues regarding taxation and government take.
Wilf Gobert
What we should have fought for was representation without taxation.
Sam Levenson
In the near-term, the market would prefer a Bush victory because he is familiar and represents lower taxation on equities.
Chip Dickson
To make the substantial cuts in emissions we are going to have to make, there are only two ways to do it - taxation or rationing.
David Fleming
A lot of people think we can deal with national law like taxation, but we have to say no.
Michael Cashman
When more of the people's sustenance is exacted through the form of taxation than is necessary to meet the just obligations of government and expenses of its economical administration, such exaction becomes ruthless extortion and a violation of the f.
Grover Cleveland
Although there are tax ramifications involved with offshore investment strategies, they can be mitigated by choosing to invest in markets that offer double taxation treaties, or by either establishing a domicile in the target country, or by creating an offshore investment structure that is designed to isolate offshore gains from domestic gains.
Ron Z. Mendelson
The death tax is growing increasingly unpopular with the American people, and it's for obvious reasons. They know double taxation when they see it. They know that if they pay income tax, they pay capital gains tax, they pay sales tax, that it's absolutely, fundamentally, inherently wrong to make death another taxable event.
Tim Hutchinson
It's double taxation and fairly dumb. In my opinion it doesn't make a lot of sense to consider the non-deductible IRA route.
Richard Applegate
While Alberta continues to set the standard for fiscal performance in Canada, B.C. has significantly improved and is quickly catching up. At the same time, Ontario's fiscal performance has worsened in terms of government spending, taxation, and debts and deficits.
Niels Veldhuis
It has often been found that profuse expenditures, heavy taxation, absurd commercial restrictions, corrupt tribunals, disastrous wars, seditions, persecutions, conflagrations, inundation, have not been able to destroy capital so fast as the exertions of private citizens have been able to create it.
Lord Macaulay
Here is the truth of the matter. The individuals that we invited were, one, expected to speak, and were expected to present their opinions on the issue of taxation, specifically as it pertains to cars and trucks. We had a variety of opinions expressed by the invited guests that were there.
Brandon Hall
We don't think it's fair. It's fundamentally flawed if you're looking at a fair taxation system. But try convincing someone who's saving $4,000 a year because of it.
Kurt Wenner
In fact, the paper shows that there may be situations where the intent of taxation is reversed, in that alcohol consumption increases rather than decreases because the alcohol of choice has become cheaper. Basically, they buy more, and end up drinking more.
Raul Caetano
People see this election or this convention as a referendum on the immigration issue and whether the convention delegates want to vote for a business as usual immigration candidate for our Senate or someone who's committed to solving the problem. He seems to be focusing his campaign on secondary issues such as taxation and deficits and Social Security.
Paul Streitz
If you have a road that's been paid for already by gas tax dollars, and then you charge a toll on it, we call that double taxation.
Linda Curtis
I doubt if the average Englishman felt himself as much oppressed by Charles I as by the plague; or if any colonial American was as much in dread of taxation without representation as of smallpox. And it may reasonably be contended that Walter Reed and William Crawford Gorgas brought to man freedom in a more happy sense and in a larger measure than any military or political leader.
Mark Sullivan
Taxation WITH representation ain't so hot either.
Gerald Barzan
And they also will be granted a period of transition time after we adopt the new taxation systems.
Jin Renqing
We have plenty of capital at home, but still some local governments prefer giving foreign investors preferential policies in terms of taxation, land use and loans.
Xie Zhaohua
This (ordinance) looks like a pure taxation on the citizens of Marion.
Jimmy Jones
Rulers do not reduce taxes to be kind. Expediency and greed create high taxation, and normally it takes an impending catastrophe to bring it down.
Charles Adams
We are determined to keep our Texas freeways free. These highways have already been paid for by our tax dollars. If they try to make us pay toll on it, it is nothing short of double taxation. I think the number of people we have reached and gotten involved is a testament to the depth and breadth of this issue.
Terri Hall
The current status on lots owned by the city is that they are exempt from taxation.
Leo Dobrovolny
It's going to be a problem just coming to consensus at all. Every state has its own mixture of taxation, either through income taxes or sales tax.
Seema Williams
Taxation without representation is tyranny.
James Otis
We work closely with the state Department of Taxation.
Harold Wingate
Turning the Internet over to countries with problematic human-rights records, muted free-speech laws, and questionable taxation practices will prevent the Internet from remaining the thriving medium it has become today.
John Doolittle
If someone's taking advantage of the normal population because they can, then I have a problem with that and would support further taxation.
Don Haddox
My conduct and this company was at all times within the law and I reject any allegations to the contrary. I have never made any secret of the fact that, at the time of my appointment, the companies were involved in a dispute with the Australian Taxation Office.
Robert Gerard
We're a small town here in Upper Bucks. If (council) can keep the taxation and services at a reasonable level I think they're doing a good job.
James Hull
If they are not going to make the case for fairer taxation, what hope can we have for progressive opposition from them?
Caroline Lucas
I don't know what to do or where to turn in this taxation matter. Somewhere there must be a book that tells all about it, where I could go to straighten it out in my mind. But I don't know where the book is, and maybe I couldn't read it if I found it.
Warren G. Harding
The Internet Services strategy supports our core business objective to maintain margins and group EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization].
Richard Li
If it is the duty of the State to educate, it is the duty of the State also to bear the burden of education, namely, the taxation out of which education is provided.
