A libertarian presidential candidate isn't going to win anyway, so he can afford to say that all taxation is theft, and it isn't the job of a libertarian presidential candidate to cook up new ways to commit theft.
L. Neil Smith
America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.
Laurence J. Peter
Besides, we had a large debt, contracted at home and abroad in our War of Independence; therefore the great power of taxation was conferred upon this Government.
Robert Toombs
But we need to quit taxing people upon death. No taxation without respiration.
Steve King
Every diminution of the public burdens arising from taxation gives to individual enterprise increased power and furnishes to all the members of our happy confederacy new motives for patriotic affection and support.
Andrew Jackson
Government spending is taxation. When you look at this, I've never heard of a poor person spending himself into prosperity; let alone I've never heard of a poor person taxing himself into prosperity.
Arthur Laffer
I don't know what to do or where to turn in this taxation matter. Somewhere there must be a book that tells all about it, where I could go to straighten it out in my mind. But I don't know where the book is, and maybe I couldn't read it if I found it.
Warren G. Harding
I therefore declare, that if you wish any remission of the taxation which falls upon the homes of the people of England and Wales, you can only find it by reducing the great military establishments, and diminishing the money paid to fighting men in time of peace.
Richard Cobden
I think coercive taxation is theft, and government has a moral duty to keep it to a minimum.
William Weld
If it is the duty of the State to educate, it is the duty of the State also to bear the burden of education, namely, the taxation out of which education is provided.
Edmund Barton
If Thomas Jefferson thought taxation without representation was bad, he should see how it is with representation.
Rush Limbaugh
In the laws of the land, she has no rights; in government she has no voice. And in spite of another principle recognized in this Republic, namely, that 'taxation without representation is tyranny,' she is taxed without being represented.
Ernestine Rose
Inflation is taxation without legislation.
Milton Friedman
Inflation is the one form of taxation that can be imposed without legislation.
Milton Friedman
It is the small owner who offers the only really profitable and reliable material for taxation. He is made for taxation.
Auberon Herbert
Large fortunes are all founded either on the occupation of land, or lending or the taxation of labor.
John Ruskin
My expertise was in public finance, particularly corporate taxation, since I had worked at the US Treasury.
Merton Miller
My legislation, the Simple Savings Tax Relief Act of 2005, simply eliminates the taxation of interest earned in savings accounts, such as passbook savings accounts or bank certificates of deposit.
Cliff Stearns
Nearly everywhere monarchs raised themselves further above the level of the greatest nobles and buttressed their new pretensions to respect and authority with cannons and taxation.
J. M. Roberts
No taxation without respiration.
