Taxes Quotes

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”

“The median family of four ... paid $4,722 in federal taxes last year.

Surely civilization would collapse without such essential services.”

“You've got to ask yourself, why won't Donald Trump release his tax returns? I think there may be a couple of reasons. First, maybe he's not as rich as he says he is. Second, maybe he's not as charitable as he claims to be. Third, we don't know all of his business dealings, but we have been told through investigative reporting that he owes about $650 million to Wall Street and foreign banks. Or maybe he doesn't want the American people to know that he's paid nothing in federal taxes.”
