The income tax is a twentieth-century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 80 years ago government had no claim to our income. Only sales excise and tariff taxes were allowed.

Barack Obama's enemies are the people who make this country work. Barack Obama's enemies are those who succeed. Those are the people whose income he wants to redistribute. Those are the people whose income he wants to take using the power and the force of the federal government to do it.

The income tax created more criminals than any other single act of government.

We are beginning a new era in our government. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity of a rigid economy and an inflexible determination not to enlarge the income beyond the real necessities of the government.

People try to live within their income so they can afford to pay taxes to a government that can't live within its income.

1913 wasn't a very good year. 1913 gave us the income tax the 16th amendment and the IRS.

Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to guarantee your future.

If newspapers were a baseball team they would be the Mets - without the hope for those folks at the very pinnacle of the financial food chain - who average nearly $24 million a year in income - 'next year.'

The confidence is really driven by the woman - whether she can have the confidence that there will be enough earning or income to finance all the domestic spending - but also by the middle-income class which for many Asian countries has become the growth power for the economy.

If US per capita income continues to grow at a rate of 1.5 percent a year the country will have plenty of money to finance comfortable retirements and high-quality healthcare for all citizens including those at the bottom of the wage ladder.

The rate of interest acts as a link between income-value and capital-value.

Our incomes are like our shoes if too small they gall and pinch us but if too large they cause us to stumble and to trip.

I think and I mean this sincerely I was raised humbly. We were a lower middle income family and a household that was scrimping by at times. We were watching the dollar stretching the dollar and coupons. It was all those things.

In the past 40 years the United States lost more than a million farmers and ranchers. Many of our farmers are aging. Today only nine percent of family farm income comes from farming and more and more of our farmers are looking elsewhere for their primary source of income.

In the richest country in the history of the world this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4 0 but health insurance premiums are higher food prices are higher utility bills are higher and gasoline prices have doubled. Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before.

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.

Jobs for every American is doomed to failure because of modern automation and production. We ought to recognize it and create an income-maintenance system so every single American has the dignity and the wherewithal for shelter basic food and medical care. I'm talking about welfare for all. Without it you're going to have warfare for all.

For families across the UK who are income-poor but more than that whose lives are blighted by worklessness educational failure family breakdown problem debt and poor health as well as other problems giving them an extra pound - say through increased benefits - will not address the reason they find themselves in difficulty in the first place.

When I was 27 years old I organized legal aid clinics to help low-income seniors. It was a life-altering experience.

We will have bigger bureaucracies bigger labor unions and bigger state-run corporations. It will be harder to be an entrepreneur because of punitive taxes and regulations. The rewards of success will be expropriated for the sake of attaining greater income equality.

Equal pay isn't just a women's issue when women get equal pay their family incomes rise and the whole family benefits.

Pell Grants are and have been critically important tools in making higher education a possibility for lower- and middle-income students.

The College Access and Opportunity Act addresses the important need to make higher education more affordable and easier to access for low and middle-income students.

When women earn the money for the family everyone in the family benefits. We also know that when women have an income everyone wins because women dedicate 90% of the income to health education to food security to the children to the family or to the community so when women have an income everybody wins.

The real solution is to improve the incomes of the poor and provide their children with decent education.

Giving women education work the ability to control their own income inherit and own property benefits the society. If a woman is empowered her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper the village prospers and eventually so does the whole country.

A mother's ability to provide for her children is not always tied to income but rather to education.

Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man's lifetime income - which he then spends sending his son to college.

Well we lost a lot of our independence already. We are dependent on China for credit. We are dependent on Middle Eastern countries for energy supplies. And many Americans are dependent on the government for their income health care education of their children food stamps.

Poverty is multidimensional. It extends beyond money incomes to education health care political participation and advancement of one's own culture and social organisation.
