Bonfire Quotes

Against Quotes
On an ideological level, Senator Nelson is not in touch with the mainstream of Florida, ... He has voted against tax relief that has been passed by the Republican majority in Congress. He votes to protect the trial lawyers against reform of frivolous lawsuits. We think a Republican challenger is going to do very well if they contrast his record to the Republican positions.

Ability Quotes

Access Quotes
Median home prices within the district are high for a rural community, reflecting the district's attractiveness to buyers of second homes and telecommuters. Residents of the largest town also have access to job centers in the Fresno region, albeit via a one-hour drive to the south. Separately, the district recently lost about a third of its students and will lose about a third of its tax base in fiscal 2007 due to an annexation vote that removed a portion of the district's far southwest territory. This has been incorporated into the rating and we expect continued property turnover and new construction will translate into a growing property tax base within the school's new boundaries.

Budget Quotes
Obviously, we welcome the handouts given by the minister, particularly as far as income tax is concerned and also as far as the tax and retirement funds are concerned. I think what the budget did miss firstly in respect to creating incentives for the private sector to actually come and invest in this country. There was nothing and here I refer specifically to rates of corporate taxation. There was no direct incentive to the private sector to employ people.

Bill Quotes
One thing that they all do have in common, though, is the effect that the state has had on it this year. The most recent state ... budget, House Bill 66, had a lot of sweeping tax reform in it and this -- while well-intended, hoping to bring in more business into the state -- has had a disastrous effect on a lot of schools.

Allowed Quotes
Moody's Investors Service recently upgraded the underlying rating from A3 to A2 on the District's outstanding debt - without the PSF guarantee. Factors contributing to the upgrade included healthy tax base growth, well-managed finances despite operating at the maximum allowed tax rate for maintenance and operations for several years, and manageable debt ratios.

City Quotes
Money for schools is given through tax money. Every year there is a plan of what revenue is expected. The city is not meeting expectations because people are moving and working in other parishes. Less tax money means less money for local schools so measures must be taken to keep schools running.
-
Account Quotes
Next year, I think the average equity fund will lose 1.5 (percentage points) of its return to taxes. If you don't like investing in funds that have an above-average expense ratio, I'm not sure why you'd want a fund with an above-average tax burden, at least not for an account where taxes are going to matter.

Admittedly Quotes
Policy makers seem to continue to believe that they can boost demand enough to alleviate the oversupply situation. They now talk of extraordinary monetary measures and huge tax cuts to stimulate demand, ... Although their timing was admittedly very poor, Japanese policy makers attempted the same thing.

Area Quotes
If we don't have the commercial or industrial and it's all residential, then you become that 'bedroom county', high-taxing area to live in. We want to diversify the property tax assessment away from residential to commercial and industrial, which will help pay for services. Then, growth is good.

Ability Quotes
If we do this job right, and we have the ability to do so, we can allow the people of this country to fulfill one of the great American ideals: having a tax code that they realize is civil and decent (and) treats them with respect. They can then comply with that code out of a sense of civic duty and personal responsibility and voluntary compliance.

Act Quotes
If we don't act now to get the next generation of Vermonters to go to school here and to work here and to help us grow our economy, by the year 2030 every single dollar generated by tax revenue will go to fund kindergarten through 12th-grade education and essential human services. That means there would be no money left for anything else.
