The politician's promises of yesterday are the taxes of today.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Where is the politician who has not promised to fight to the death for lower taxes- and who has not proceeded to vote for the very spending projects that make tax cuts impossible?
Taxes are what we pay for civilized society, for modernity, and for prosperity. The wealthy pay more because they have benefitted more.
If we are to create tomorrow's jobs, we can't remain frozen in time in yesterday's tax system.
The 1986 tax act is sort of the unsung hero of the very good economic times we had for a long time. Of course, politics gums it all up again and preferences get put in.
No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today.
One of the things I have been preaching around the world is collecting taxes in an equitable manner, especially from the elites.
It is my absolute intent to hold the line on taxes.
In theory, taxes should be like shopping. What I buy is government services. What I pay are my taxes.
That taxes may be the ostensible cause is true, but that they are the true cause is as far remote from truth as light from darkness.
Read my lips: no new taxes.
