★ Tax

[sings] These are the laws of my administration: no-one’s allowed to smoke or tell a dirty joke.  And whistling is forbidden.  If chewing gum is chewed, the chewer is pursued ... This is the land of the free.  The last man nearly ruined this place.  He didn’t know what to do with it.  If you think this country’s bad off now just wait till I get through with it.  The country’s taxes must be fixed and I know what to do with it.  If you think you’re paying too much now just wait till I get through with it.  Duck Soup 1933 starring Groucho Marx & Harpo Marx & Chico Marx & Zeppo Marx & Margaret Dumont & Louis Calhern & Raquel Torres & Edgar Kennedy & Edmund Breese & Edwin Maxwell et al, director Leo McCarey, Rufus T Firefly

 

 

The county took a tax assessment of this property last month: they want $5,000.  The Blues Brothers 1980 starring John Belushi & Dan Aykroyd & Steve Cropper & Donald Duck Dunn & Murphy Dunne & Willie Hall & Matt Murphy & Carrie Fisher & Ray Charles & John Candy & Aretha Franklin & Twiggy & James Brown & Henry Gibson et al, director John Landis, Penguin

 

 

The answer has its roots in the other major social development of the 1980s: the enrichment of the rich.  This has been so stupendous as to defy statistics.  In all the countries of the world, including the poor countries, the rich have been enjoying the greatest bonanza ever.  The top 10 per cent of incomes in the United States of America, already far, far ahead of the rest of the population, increased their share of the wealth by another 7 per cent.  In Britain the value of shares on the stock exchange multiplied five times between 1983 and 1987, and even the stock exchange crash of 1987 did not stop the fantastic accumulation of riches for the already super-rich.

 

Old-fashioned ideas, especially in publicly owned state industries, that the chairmen and managing directors should keep their earnings down as an example to their workers, vanished.  As the public utilities in Britain were turned, ‘in the interests of competition’, from public monopolies to private monopolies, the chairmen and directors rewarded themselves for what they assessed as their ‘true worth’ – and promptly doubled and tripled their salaries.  Enormous fortunes were flaunted by the millionaires’ press.  At the start of the decade there were only a handful of billionaires in the world: at the end there were 157.  Millionaires increased four times – from half a million to two million.

 

Tax-cutting everywhere aided the process.  The highest rate of income tax in Britain was cut from 83 per cent at the start of the decade to 40 per cent at the end.  With this went cuts in all the taxes which affected the rich: corporation tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax.  The poll tax, in abolishing property rates, put further millions into the pockets of the already rich.  Paul Foot, The Case For Socialism ch4

 

 

The difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion is the thickness of a prison wall.  Denis Healey

A pollution-based tax system principally CO2: were causing it mainly, the vast majority of it.  The consequences are bad and will be catastrophic unless we act ... Put a price on the carbon.  Tax is the best way.  Cap and trade can also do it ... I am in favour of both.  Al Gore

 

 

Greece has been, in many ways, a partially dysfunctional society.  For example, the wealthy barely pay taxes ... to an extent thats true elsewhere, including the United States, but it’s been pretty extreme in Greece.  Noam Chomsky

 

 

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesnt get worse every time Congress meets.  Will Rogers

 

 

Income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf.  Will Rogers, The Illiterate Digest, 1924

Thirty thousand people have suddenly disappeared off the face of this city.  Alan Bleasdale, GBH II: Only Here on a Message, Robert Lindsay & Lindsay Duncan & Michael Palin & Julie Walters & Tom Georgeson & Andrew Schofield & Jane Danson & David Ross et al, director Robert Young, Nelson at council meeting, Channel 4 1991

 

 

If you cut taxes, you make it easier to produce things, you make it easier to employ people, you encourage a dynamic economy, you sell more products and you see your economy grow.  Its as simple as that.  Mark Littlewood, Institute of Economic Affairs

 

 

The only difference between a taxman and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin.  Mark Twain

I think we should not want the income tax for several reasons.  One is that it is the instrument of totalitarianism.  It is the means by which government can manipulate the people and put you into a condition of servitude.  G Edward Griffin, author Creature from Jekyll Island, cited America: Freedom to Fascism

 

 

The IRS is actually a private collection agency for the Federal Reserve System.  It originated as the Black Hand in medieval Italy, collectors of debt by force and extortion for the ruling Italian mob families.  All personal income taxes collected by the IRS are required by law to be deposited in the nearest Federal Reserve Bank.  Eustace Mullins

 

 

When there is an income tax the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income.  Plato

 

 

What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue.  Thomas Paine
