• Un impuesto sobre el consumo, un impuesto nacional sobre las ventas tiene cierto sentido. Pero creo que si avanzamos hacia un impuesto justo, si avanzamos hacia un impuesto nacional sobre las ventas, tenemos que asegurarnos de que eliminamos el impuesto sobre la renta.

• The 9-9-9 plan would resuscitate this economy because it replaces the outdated tax code that allows politicians to pick winners and losers, and to provide favors in the form of tax breaks, special exemptions and loopholes. It simplifies the code dramatically: 9% business flat tax, 9% personal flat tax, 9% sales tax.

• Millions and millions of people don't pay an income tax, because they don't earn enough to pay on one, but you pay a land tax whether it ever did or ever will earn you a penny. You should pay on things that you buy outside of bare necessities. I think this sales tax is the best tax we have had in years.

• Podría conseguir que sonrieras así, y sin impuestos". Me di la vuelta y vi al auténtico Patch en el probador, detrás de mí. Llevaba vaqueros y una camiseta blanca ajustada.

• 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.
