Chrystia Freeland
Canadian Musician
The hollowing out of the middle class. That's not just about capitalism or the structure of taxation. That is also about the fundamental truth that machines can do a lot of things better than humans used to do. A lot of those people are being pushed down to do less value-adding jobs, so they get paid less money.
Quote examples
Angus Deaton
British Economist
Broadly shared progress can be achieved with policies that are designed specifically to benefit consumers and workers. And such policies need not even include redistributive taxation, which many workers oppose. Rather, they can focus on ways to encourage competition and discourage rent-seeking.
Quote examples
Robert Higgs
American Economist
Some doomsayers think the collapse will be triggered by runaway government spending, excessive taxation, oppressive regulation, food shortages, fuel shortages or natural disasters such as deadly pandemics or lethal changes in the world's climate.
Quote examples
Johann Lamont
Scottish Politician

Quote examples
Charles Kennedy
British Politician

Quote examples
Jacob Rees-Mogg
English Politician
As a general rule, governments are wise to avoid taxation that is voluntary, as they need a steady stream of income.
Quote examples
