The tax code is now nine times longer than the Bible, and not nearly as interesting.
Between income taxes and employment taxes, capital gains taxes, estate taxes, corporate taxes, property taxes, Social Security taxes, we're being taxed to death.

In theory, taxes should be like shopping. What I buy is government services. What I pay are my taxes.
Taxes are what we pay for civilized society, for modernity, and for prosperity. The wealthy pay more because they have benefitted more.
Income tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today.
Tax should be the same for everybody.
Taxes should be simple and fair... I'm not for increasing income taxes - if we even have an income tax.
People are not really interested in what politicians talk about, but what they are really interested in is how their hard-earned tax money is spent.
I love talking about taxes.
