Joe Biden

When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans.

Thomas Sowell

Whatever you tax, you get less of.
Alan Greenspan

Barney Frank

I would like to electrocute everyone who uses the word "fair" in connection with income tax policies.
