Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

If a tax hike makes it to my desk, I'll veto it in less time than it takes Vanna White to turn the letters V-E-T-O! — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Mike Pence

Well, I think the reality is that as you study - when President Kennedy cut marginal tax rates, when Ronald Reagan cut marginal tax rates, when President Bush imposed those tax cuts, they actually generated economic growth. They expanded the economy. They expand tax revenues. — Mike Pence

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Mike Bouchard

As Ronald Reagan understood, the difference between a good tax structure and a poor one has a very real impact not only on how much money we have in our pockets every April 15th, but whether we have a job to support our families in the first place. — Mike Bouchard

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

When government gets too big, freedom is lost. Government is supposed to be the servant. But when a government can tax the people with no limit or restraint on what the government can take, then the government has become the master. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

The most dangerous myth is the demagoguery that business can be made to pay a larger share, thus relieving the individual. Politicians preaching this are either deliberately dishonest, or economically illiterate, and either one should scare us. Business doesn't pay taxes, and who better than business to make this message known? Only people pay taxes, and people pay as consumers every tax that is assessed against a business. Begin with the food and fiber raised in the farm, to the ore drilled in a mine, to the oil and gas from out of the ground, whatever it may be
through the processing, through the manufacturing, on out to the retailer's license. If the tax cannot be included in the price of the product, no one along that line can stay in business. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Dave Brat

I like Ronald Reagan, who didn't play crass politics, and he just articulated and delivered on broad themes that were needed. Free markets meant free markets. Deregulation. Lower tax rates. Strong national defense. And he was credible and believable. — Dave Brat

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

I have only one thing to say to the tax increasers: Go ahead, make my day. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

Have we the courage and the will to face up to the immorality and discrimination of the progressive tax, and demand a return to traditional proportionate taxation? ... Today in our country the tax collector's share is 37 cents of every dollar earned. Freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Donald Jeffries

Despite an unimpressive first term in office, which featured huge tax cuts
for the wealthiest Americans and tax increases for everyone else, Reagan was
reelected in 1984 in an unprecedented landslide, winning forty-nine of the
fifty states against hapless Democrat Walter Mondale. While he has become
the patron saint of all Republicans, especially those who revel in wearing the
"conservative" mantle, Reagan's record is far, far removed from his rhetoric.
Despite this, the collective delusion of his supporters is best exemplified by
noted Republican speechwriter Peggy Noonan's claims, regarding his 1980
campaign promises, that they were "Done, done, done, done, done, done and
done. Every bit of it. — Donald Jeffries

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Bruce Morton

His presidency ended more than a decade ago, but politicians, Democrat and Republican, still talk about Ronald Reagan. Al Gore has an ad noting that in Congress he opposed the Reagan budget cuts. He says that because Bill Bradley was one of 36 Democratic Senators who voted for the cuts. Gore doesn't point out that Bradley also voted against the popular Reagan tax cuts and that it was the tax cuts that piled up those enormous deficits, a snowballing national debt. — Bruce Morton

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

If you want more of something, subsidize it; if you want less of something, tax it. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

Any system that penalizes success and accomplishment is wrong. Any system that discourages work, discourages productivity, discourages economic progress, is wrong. If, on the other hand, you reduce tax rates and allow people to spend or save more of what they earn, they'll be more industrious; they'll have more incentive to work hard, and money they earn will add fuel to the great economic machine that energizes our national progress. The result: more prosperity for all - and more revenue for government. A few economists call this principle supply-side economics. I just call it common sense. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy said, "Our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and avoidance of large federal deficits on the other; it is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, as long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance the budget - just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits. In short, the paradoxical truth is that the tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise revenues in the long run is to cut rates now. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

100% of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal Debt ... all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services taxpayers expect from government. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

The Democrats in the legislature agreed with us that welfare costs were headed for the stratosphere but claimed the solution was a huge tax increase - in other words, to keep pouring more money into a bucket that was full of holes. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Mitch McConnell

I'm in favor of doing tax reform, but I think tax reform ought to be revenue neutral as it was back during the [Ronald] Reagan years. We've resolved this issue. — Mitch McConnell

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

The current tax code is a daily mugging. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Robert Reed

In Reagan's world, we have to be geared up to fight a foe that could barely feed its own people. And meanwhile, our real troubles have to be mocked. Global warming. Nuclear proliferation. Corrupt governments supported by my tax dollars and everyone's complacency. — Robert Reed

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

Our opponents see an America in which every day is April 15, tax day. Well, we see an America in which every day is the Fourth of July. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

You can't tax business. Business doesn't pay taxes. It collects taxes. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Sean Hannity

My plan has all that. It's energy independence. It will help our economy. It's a significant tax cut for corporations, including automatic expensing. It's bringing all those profits home from Europe without any taxation. It's lowering our corporate - or our personal rate to 28 percent, the same rate that Ronald Reagan had. — Sean Hannity

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By John Fugelsang

Anti-Tax fetishist Grover Norquist owns a bust of Ronald Reagan, who raised taxes 11 times. — John Fugelsang

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher taxes and inflation. Make no mistake about it, inflation is a tax and not by accident. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Thomas E. Woods Jr.

Nisbet could find much to disturb a traditional conservative even in the rhetoric of Ronald Reagan: "President Reagan's deepest soul is not Republican-conservative but New Deal-Second World War Democrat. Thus his well noted preference for citing FDR and Kennedy as noble precedents for his actions rather than Coolidge, Hoover, or even Eisenhower. The word 'revolution' springs lightly from his lips, for anything from tax reform to narcotics prosecution. Reagan's passion for crusades, moral and military, is scarcely American-conservative. — Thomas E. Woods Jr.

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

Our tax policy is engineered by people who view tax as a means of achieving changes in our social structure. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

Tax increases don't eliminate deficits they increase govt. spending. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

The same government that requires a taxpaying citizen to document every statement on his tax return decrees that questioning a welfare applicant demeans and humiliates him. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Ronald Reagan

I've been told that some members of Congress disagree with my tax cut proposal. Well, you know it's been said that taxation is the art of plucking feathers without killing the bird. It's time they realized the bird just doesn't have any feathers left. — Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan Tax Quotes By Johnny Carson

Ronald Reagan just signed the new tax law. But I think he was in Hollywood too long. He signed it, 'Best wishes, Ronald Reagan.' — Johnny Carson
