Taxed Quotes

The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
Ronald Reagan

Government, Problem, Spends

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?

Mitt Romney

Marco Rubio

Government, Problem, Said

Home, Government, Enough

End, Used, Year

Chester A. Arthur

Money, Evil, Public

So every dollar of income that I have that is potentially taxed away is a dollar I can't put in my company to create a job. My entire company is around job creation.
Curt Schilling

The American people are not just being taxed to death; they're being taxed after death. But, no one should have to sell the life's work of a parent or a loved one just to pay the federal government.
J. D. Hayworth

Life, Work, Government

And the Tea Party represents many of us who believe that we are taxed enough already. We believe in free markets.
Tim Scott

Enough, Free, Party

The rich pay more in total taxes now than ever before - ever. It's true. Just like it's true that when the rich are convinced they're going to be taxed more, they spend less. And when the top few percenters don't spend, there goes all your spending, because they account for half of all retail spending.
Neil Cavuto

True, Before, Rich

The estate tax punishes years of hard work and robs families of part of their heritage by imposing a huge penalty on inheritance after death - a tax on money that has already been taxed.
Mike Fitzpatrick

Work, Money, Death

John Wesley Powell

Art, Cannot, Language

Give, Enough, Half

Kay Bailey Hutchison

The death tax causes one-third of all family-owned small businesses to liquidate after the death of the owner. It is also an unfair tax because the assets have already been taxed once at their income level.
Ric Keller

Death, Small, After

Think of how we challenged the impression that we taxed for its own sake and that we were hostile to business. We were right to change.
Ed Miliband

Change, Business, Impression

Ernestine Rose

Government, Another, She

Steven Rattner

Work, Done, Between

As a young boy, I read 'Cheaper by the Dozen' and immediately became neurotic about my use of time. It taxed me severely, but only for the next 50 years. But I think it also allowed me to discipline myself to sit in the chair and be a writer, where one of the most needed qualities is patience.
Ridley Pearson

Time, Patience, Young

Rick Berg

Business, Happen, Rules
