More From Emily Mortimer

We were giving advice for the single-worst idea to come forward from a group that's been rife with them, it would be this: the idea is this: let's make the tax code of america better for very rich people; let's give substantial tax relief to the richest people we can find. forget about the person making $40,000 a year and paying social security payroll tax. forget about all those other people paying income tax; we're here to give tax relief to the richest 2% of america.

It is easier to start taxes than to stop them. a tax an inch long can easily become a yard long. that has been the history of the income tax. would not the sales tax be likely to have a similar history [in the u.s.]? ... canadian newspapers report that an increase in the sales tax threatens to drive the mackenzie king administration out of office. canada began with a sales tax of 2%.... starting this month the tax is 6%. the burden, in other words, has already been increased 200% ... what the u.s. needs is not new taxes, is not more taxes, but fewer and lower taxes.

Assuming that a tax increase is necessary, it is clearly preferable to impose the additional cost on land by increasing the land tax, rather than to increase the wage tax - the two alternatives open to the city (of pittsburgh). it is the use and occupancy of property that creates the need for the municipal services that appear as the largest item in the budget - fire and police protection, waste removal, and public works. the average increase in tax bills of city residents will be about twice as great with wage tax increase than with a land tax increase.

The other thing that's really important in tax reform is making sure that we don't tax american businesses at much higher tax rates than our foreign competitors tax theirs. it is costing us jobs. it's one of the reasons all these american companies are moving overseas.

The sales tax is the best and most equitable tax. the gasoline tax, which is nothing but a sales tax, has proven painless, productive and punitive. everything we buy should have its equal proportion of tax, outside of cheap food and cheap clothes.

There is an atmosphere of well-sounding oratory that likes to attach itself to dress clothes. away with it!

Egoism... is not eliminated by economic reorganization or by material abundance. when basic needs are satisfied, new 'needs' emerge. in our society, people want no simply clothes, but fashionable clothes; not shelter, but a house to display their wealth and taste.

I'm the exact same person i was before (cancer). i'm still shallow, i still love clothes, i still want to talk fashion, i still want to gossip, so lay it on me.
Fashion Cancer Clothes
It didn't matter that i wore clothes from sears; i was still different. i looked different. my name was different. i wanted to pull away from the things that marked my parents as being different.
