“Evolutionism is a religious world view that is not supported by science, Scripture, popular opinion, or common sense.

“A state is absolute in the sense which I have in mind when it claims the right to a monopoly of all the force within the community, to make war, to make peace, to conscript life, to tax, to establish and disestablish property, to define crime, to punish disobedience, to control education, to supervise the family, to regulate personal habits, and to censor opinions. The modern state claims all of these powers, and, in the matter of theory, there is no real difference in the size of the claim between communists, fascists, and Democrats.” MindWarRealMatterStatesForceCommunityDifferencesOpinionModernCrimeTheoryHabitTaxesClaimsAbsolutesPropertyDemocratSizeCommunistMonopolyDisobedienceFascistsMaking Peace Book:A Preface to Morals Source: A Preface to Morals
“Its fundamentally unfair to have so much of the tax relief go to so few. And it is a 10-year tax plan rather than one, as mine, focused on the next two years, which in my opinion is the critical time to jumpstart the economy.” YearsTwoNextOpinionEconomyPlansMinesTaxesCriticalFocusedReliefTwo YearsUnfairJumpstart Author:Bob Graham
“As to the Income Tax, my opinion is that the needful revenue would be fairly and most fairly raised if paid by property, and by individuals in proportion to their property. A Property Tax should be an assessment upon all land and buildings, and canals and railroads, but not on property such as machinery, stock in trade, etc. The aristocracy have squeezed all they can out of the mass of the consumers, and now they lay their daring hands on those not wholly impoverished.” IfsShouldHandsWould BeIndividualOpinionLandBuildingTaxesMassPaidTradeLaysPropertyRaisedIncomeConsumersProportionEtcDaringRevenueMachineryAristocracyIncome TaxAssessmentRailroadsCanalsProperty Taxes Author:John Bright

“But an opinion that it is possible for the present generation to seize and use the property of future generations has produced to both parties concerned, effects of the same complexion with the usual fruits of national errour.

“The most absurd public opinion polls are those on taxes. Now, if there is one thing we know about taxes, it is that people do not want to pay them. If they wanted to pay them, there would be no need for taxes. People would gladly figure out how much of their money that the government deserves and send it in. And yet we routinely hear about opinion polls that reveal that the public likes the tax level as it is and might even like it higher. Next they will tell us that the public thinks the crime rate is too low, or that the American people would really like to be in more auto accidents.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantNeedsGovernmentMightWould BeWantedNextLevelsPayOpinionOne ThingCrimeFiguresHigherTaxesLowsDeserveRateAccidentsLikesAbsurdPublic OpinionPollsCrime RatesOpinion Polls Author:Llewellyn Rockwell
“We do it all the time, we legislate taste. We do it with the tax code. Churches and children get a tax break, because it's assumed that we all agree that we want to encourage churches and children.

I don't want to encourage either churches or children, and it's a very bad idea to put them together.” WantChildrenIdeasTogetherChurchOpinionBreakTasteTaxesAgreeCodeBad IdeasTax Breaks Author:Bill Maher
“The Tax Court is independent, and its neutrality is not clouded by prosecuting duties. Its procedures assure fair hearings. Its deliberations are evidenced by careful opinions. All guides to judgment available to judges are habitually consulted and respected. It has established a tradition of freedom from bias and pressures. It deals with a subject that is highly specialized and so complex as to be the despair of judges. It is relatively better staffed for its task than is the judiciary.” DealsOpinionSubjectsJudgingDutyTaxesDespairJudgmentFairsTraditionTasksPressureIndependentCourtComplexesCarefulAvailableHearingGuidesBiasProceduresNeutralityJudiciaryDeliberationCloudedProsecuting Author:Robert H.

“I'm not shy about stating my opinion on political issues, so I can state my opinion, which is, on this one, Premier Notley's right. Because cap and trade systems have not been shown to work. And if you want to price carbon, then I would listen to the CEO of Suncor, who suggests a clean, transparent carbon tax makes a bunch more sense than a cap and trade system that just creates jobs for traders. I - I kind of agree with that.” KindPoliticalOpinionTaxesAgreeTradeShyCeo Author:Naheed Nenshi
