“We were giving advice for the single-worst idea to come forward from a group that's been rife with them, it would be this: The idea is this: Let's make the tax code of America better for very rich people; let's give substantial tax relief to the richest people we can find. Forget about the person making $40,000 a year and paying Social Security payroll tax. Forget about all those other people paying income tax; we're here to give tax relief to the richest 2% of America.” PeopleGivingYearsPersonsIdeasWould BeAmericaSocialForgetRichGroupsWorstAdviceSecurityTaxesIncomeCodeReliefSocial SecurityRich PeopleIncome TaxGiving AdvicePayrollPayroll Tax Author:Barney Frank
“I forget what the relevant American rate is, but I can tell you that our goal is to have a combined federal-provincial corporate tax rate of no more than 25 percent.

“More investment sins are probably committed by otherwise quite intelligent people because of "tax considerations" than from any other cause. One of my friends-a noted West Coast philosopher-maintains that a majority of life's errors are caused by forgetting what one is really trying to do. This is certainly the case when an emotionally supercharged element like taxes enters the picture (I have another friend-a noted East Coast philosopher who says it isn't the lack of representation he minds-it's the taxation).” PeopleTryingMindCausesSinForgetCasesTaxesElementsMy FriendsIntelligentMajorityErrorsWestInvestmentPhilosopherCommittedEastConsiderationRepresentationCoastTaxationWest CoastEast Coast Author:Warren Buffett

“Tariffs are in the end taxes. And somebody has to pay that tax. I think one thing people are forgetting is that trade disputes are two-sided. When the United States imposes tariffs on a partner like Canada, there is always a possibility that Canada will say that's not fair and retaliate.
