Every time the Fed implements ‚quantitative easing,‘ a.k.a. printing more money, two things go up: taxes and inflation. When taxes and inflation go up, more jobs are lost.

I have spoken about inflation, unemployment, farmers‘ problems, security, etc. I keep talking about these issues. I seek answers from the Indian government.

If the other fellow sells cheaper than you, it is called dumping. ‚Course, if you sell cheaper than him, that’s mass production.

There certainly is a case to be made that taxes should be more progressive.

Gold is hoarded. It’s estimated that 95 percent of all gold ever mined is still around.

Deflation isn’t good, and inflation is easier to cure than deflation.

Economists treat economics as if it is a pure science divorced from the facts of life. The result of this false accountancy is a willful confusion under cover of which industry wreaks its havoc scot-free and ignores the environmental cost.

I pay a lot of tax, and I feel, one of the reasons I stay and pay why I’m not based in Monaco… I think my country helped me.

I know the Federal Reserve Bank can continue to print more and more money… but city and state governments cannot.

I go for all sharing the privileges of the government, who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently, I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage, who pay taxes or bear arms (by no means excluding females).

You can’t have a rigid view that all new taxes are evil.

For most of us, relationship with another is based on dependence, either economic or psychological. This dependence creates fear, breeds in us possessiveness, results in friction, suspicion, frustration.

I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.

The Federal Reserve has an official commitment to two different policies. One is to prevent inflation from getting too high. The second is to maintain high employment… the European Central Bank has only the first. It has no commitment to keep employment up.

Free trade is not based on utility but on justice.

People concerned about inflation today tend to buy big houses and nice cars.

When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.

The financial crisis should not become an excuse to raise taxes, which would only undermine the economic growth required to regain our strength.

You know, if you are kind of rich, the best thing is that you don’t have to think about money. The best thing you can buy with money is freedom, time. I don’t know how much I earn a year. I have no idea. I don’t know how much I pay in taxes.

I believe that economics is based on scarcity of markets. And it’s possible to monetize your art without compromising the integrity of it for commerce.

Working hard to earn more money and then giving it away in higher taxes isn’t financially intelligent, even if you do put some of it into a retirement account.

The answer to many of the domestic problems we face is not higher taxes and more spending. It is less waste, more results and greater freedom for the individual American to earn a rightful place in his own community – and for States and localities to address their own needs in their own ways, in the light of their own priorities.

As you know, low demand and high supply means a drop in value of anything, including the dollar.

Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.

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

Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.

The climate crisis is both the easiest and the hardest issue we have ever faced. The easiest because we know what we must do. We must stop the emissions of greenhouse gases. The hardest because our current economics are still totally dependent on burning fossil fuels, and thereby destroying ecosystems in order to create everlasting economic growth.

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

The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.

I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.

The secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film – whether it’s history, psychology, economics, or architecture – so you have something to make a movie about. All the skill in the world isn’t going to help you unless you have something to say.

Competition is not only the basis of protection to the consumer, but is the incentive to progress.

The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn’t get worse every time Congress meets.

We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings.

What do you think a stimulus is? It’s spending – that’s the whole point! Seriously.

That’s what the Affordable Care Act is all about. It’s about filling the gaps in employer-based care so that when we lose a job, or go back to school, or start that new business, we’ll still have coverage.

In the middle of a recession, where we’re just climbing out of it, where the economy -unemployment is still at 9.7 percent, the idea of raising taxes and reducing spending is a prescription for disaster.

I’m interested in movement, and I’m interested in money, and I’m interested in the movement of money.

Concentration of wealth yields concentration of political power. And concentration of political power gives rise to legislation that increases and accelerates the cycle.

Now financial liberalization is just a catastrophe waiting to happen, and there are very well understood reasons for that.

Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.

The last thing you want to do is raise taxes in the middle of the recession because that would just suck up and take more demand out of the economy and put businesses in a further hole.

If I lost my job, I’d get a job at McDonald’s.

The rise in the price of gold is a sign that capitalism has stumbled.

Tariffs that save jobs in the steel industry mean higher steel prices, which in turn means fewer sales of American steel products around the world and losses of far more jobs than are saved.

No nation was ever ruined by trade.

There are only three ways to meet the unpaid bills of a nation. The first is taxation. The second is repudiation. The third is inflation.

It is just as important that business keep out of government as that government keep out of business.

I didn’t pay my taxes for years.

The income tax has made liars out of more Americans than golf.

I can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn’t very entertaining for me.

If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end – people like myself – should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we’ve ever had it.

Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.

Rich countries can afford to overpay for things.

And the cornerstone of my economic policies, when I first got elected, was cutting taxes on everybody on who paid taxes.

Read my lips: no new taxes.

Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.

The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.

Socialists tend to want to pay people more money to do less work, and capitalists tend to want to provide better products at better prices.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples‘ money.

Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.
