Thomas Sowell Quotes About Taxes

• In liberal logic, if life is unfair then the answer is to turn more tax money over to politicians, to spend in ways that will increase their chances of getting reelected.

• The question is not what anybody deserves. The question is who is to take on the God-like role of deciding what everybody else deserves. You can talk about 'social justice' all you want. But what death taxes boil down to is letting politicians take money from widows and orphans to pay for goodies that they will hand out to others, in order to buy votes to get re-elected. That is not social justice or any other kind of justice.

• A los liberales les encanta decir cosas como: "Sólo pedimos a todos que paguen lo que les corresponde". Pero el gobierno no consiste en pedir. Se trata de decir. La diferencia es fundamental. Es la diferencia entre hacer el amor y ser violado, entre trabajar para vivir y ser esclavo. Hacienda no le pide a nadie que haga nada. Confisca tus bienes y te mete entre rejas si no pagas.

• The income tax has spawned an intrusive bureaucracy, creating so much complexity and red tape that millions of ordinary citizens have to go get some accountant to fill out the forms for them - and then sign under penalty of perjury that it was done right. If you knew how to do it right, you wouldn't have to go to somebody else to have it done, would you?

• Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all - inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all.

• The Obama administration seems to be following what might be called 'the Detroit pattern increasing taxes, harassing businesses, and pandering to unions. In the short run, it got mayors re-elected. In the long-run, it reduced Detroit from a thriving city to an economic disaster area, whose population was cut in half, as its most productive citizens fled.

• Ahora que varios se quejan de "precios abusivos"... el economista Walter Williams ha acuñado un nuevo término: "Avaricia fiscal". Pero nunca se acusa al gobierno ni de "avaricia" ni de "gouging"... ni siquiera cuando arrasan las casas de la gente para convertirlas.

• Los tipos impositivos elevados en los tramos superiores de renta permiten a los políticos ganar votos con la retórica de la guerra de clases, pintando a sus oponentes como defensores de los ricos. Mientras tanto, los mismos políticos pueden conseguir donaciones de los ricos creando lagunas fiscales que pueden evitar que los ricos paguen realmente esos tipos impositivos más altos, o quizás ningún impuesto. Lo que es peor que la guerra de clases es la falsa guerra de clases. El discurso resbaladizo sobre la "equidad" es la base de este fraude de los políticos que buscan despilfarrar más recursos de la nación.

• More than half of all people filing income tax forms use someone else to prepare the forms for them. Then they have to sign under penalty of perjury that these forms are correct. But if they were competent to determine that, why would they have to pay someone else to do their taxes for them in the first place?

• Alguien dijo una vez que los impuestos son el precio que pagamos por la civilización. Puede que fuera cierto cuando lo dijo, pero hoy los impuestos son sobre todo el precio que pagamos para que los políticos puedan jugar a Papá Noel y ser reelegidos.

• When Congress votes for all sorts of benefits, without voting for enough taxes to pay for them, they get the support of those who have been promised the benefits, without getting grief from the taxpayers.
