We are looking for a Wealth Tax that will bring in sufficient revenue to justify having a wealth tax.

Dick Spring

I think the TAC was just a disgrace, a disgrace not only to the [health] department but a disgrace to the whole country. But I think, as South Africa, we really demonstrated that we are doing pretty well.

Manto Tshabalala-Msimang

Both ground- rents and the ordinary rent of land are a species of revenue which the owner, in many cases, enjoys without any care or attention of his own. The annual produce of the land and labour of the society, the real wealth and revenue of the great body of the people, might be the same after such a tax as before. Ground-rents, and the ordinary rent of land are, therefore, perhaps the species of revenue which can best bear to have a peculiar tax imposed upon them.

Adam Smith

Ron Paul would have demanded that entire departments be shuttered – not that the bums merely bring into balance what was stolen (taxes) with what is squandered (spending). Besides, what a balanced-budget requirement implies is that government has the constitutional right to spend as much as it takes in – that government is permitted to waste however much revenue it can extract from wealth producers.

Ilana Mercer

Your wealth is waiting for you in the invisible, and to bring it into the visible, think wealth!

Rhonda Byrne

Not to be avaricious is money; not to be fond of buying is a revenue; but to be content with our own is the greatest and most certain wealth of all.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

We are all used to paying a sales tax when we buy things - almost 9 percent here in New York City. The application of this concept to the financial sector could solve our need for revenue, bring some sanity back into the financial sector, and give us a way to raise the revenue we need to run the government in a fiscally responsible way.

Eliot Spitzer

Wealth to us is not mere material for vainglory but an opportunity for achievement; and poverty we think it no disgrace to acknowledge but a real degredation to make no effort to overcome.

Thucydides

The true defense against wealth is not a fear of wealth - of its fragility and of the vicious consequences that it can bring - the true defense against wealth is an indifference to money.

Natalia Ginzburg

Wealth, taste and leisure can bring many things but they do not bring happiness.

Winston Churchill

Preserving a river or a creek can bring a lot of revenue.

Jim Fowler

wealth does not bring goodness, but goodness brings wealth and every other blessing, both to the individual and to the state

Socrates

Wealth does not teach us to transcend the desire for wealth. The possession of many goods does not bring the repose of not desiring them.

Madeleine de Souvre, marquise de Sable

He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him.

Samuel Johnson

There is no disgrace in honest failure; there is disgrace in fearing to fail

Henry Ford

Beautiful sights arouse feelings of love, and contrary sights bring feelings of disgrace and hate. And the emotions of the soul and spirit bring something additional to the body itself, which exists under the control of the soul and the direction of the spirit.

Giordano Bruno
