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.
Years Ideas Payroll Tax
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.

Regarding the economy & taxation: america's most successful achievers do pay a higher share of the total tax burden. the top one percent income earners paid 18 percent of the total tax burden in 1981, and paid 25 percent in 1991. the bottom 50 percent of income earners paid only 8 percent of the total tax burden, and paid only 5 percent in 1991. history shows that tax cuts have always resulted in improved economic growth producing more tax revenue in the treasury.
Success Cutting America
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.

If you look at the performance of the zero-income-tax-rate states and the highest-income-tax-rate states, i believe a large amount of their difference is due to taxes. not only is it true of the last decade, but i took these numbers back 50 years. and, there's not one year in the last 50 where the zero-income-tax-rate states have not outperformed the highest-income-tax-rate states.

A lot of the motivation for doing the 'make 'em laugh' on snl was because i had just finished shooting 'inception,' where there were zero-gravity scenes and i got into really good shape and was training and did all these stunts. coming off of that, that instilled me with the confidence to do 'make 'em laugh.'
Zero Motivation Laughing
We run after values that, at death, become zero. at the end of your life, nobody asks you how many degrees you have, or how many mansions you built, or how many rolls royces you could afford. that's what dying patients teach you. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
