At a certain point, you can't tax people beyond a certain level.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We cannot tax the same people we expect to create jobs. That is a recipe for keeping people out of work.
Thinking is one thing no one has ever been able to tax.
The truth is, no one pays more tax than they have to.
I'm not for raising taxes on anyone - period.
Taxes are way too complicated, and people spend way too much time worrying about ways to get them lower.
There is no such thing as a good tax.
I think that taxes have to exist. They should exist at the lowest possible level, and to the extent that we can, we shouldn't invent more. Maybe that's my experience being mayor of New York City, where we had so many taxes.
We can fight over what the taxation levels should be, but the tax system should be very, very simple and not distortionary.
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
You can tax the rich all you want. The problem is there aren't enough of the rich.
