“Death and taxes and childbirth! There's never any convenient time for any of them”
Margaret Mitchell
“In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.”
Benjamin Franklin
“We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle”
Winston Churchill
“There's a lot of evidence you can sell people on tax increases if they think it's an investment”
Bill Clinton
“Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.”
William Cobbett
“The death tax is growing increasingly unpopular with the American people, and it's for obvious reasons. They know double taxation when they see it. They know that if they pay income tax, they pay capital gains tax, they pay sales tax, that it's absolutely, fundamentally, inherently wrong to make death another taxable event.”
Tim Hutchinson
“While taxes will come down, it will be compensated in some way. During the next five years, taxation on imports from India and Pakistan will reduce at the expense of imports from other countries.”
