'Tax Collector' was optioned for a series with F/X, but it never happened. I guess they ran into a problem trying to figure out why someone would tune in to watch a show about a guy who works for the IRS.

Tax credits are designed to help people who work hard but who, through no fault of their own, don't earn enough to keep their families out of poverty.
‐‐ Nicola Sturgeon
Tax credits do not help people get better jobs; in fact, they can create poverty traps that actually disincentivise people from working more hours or finding a better paid job.
‐‐ Theresa May
Tax cuts are an investment in working families.
‐‐ Tommy Thompson
Tax cuts are like sex: When they are good, they are very, very good. And when they are bad, they are still pretty good.
‐‐ M. Stanton Evans
Tax cuts continue to benefit families, seniors, and small business owners, as evidenced by unparalleled economic growth in Nevada and across the country.
‐‐ Jon Porter
Tax cuts create more jobs and this is something we as Republicans have to do a better job of marketing.
‐‐ Pete Sessions
Tax cuts should be for life, not just for Christmas.
‐‐ George Osborne
Tax dollars intended for science education must not be used to teach creationism as any sort of real explanation of nature, because any observation or process of inference about our origin and the nature of the universe disproves creationism in every respect.
‐‐ Bill Nye
Tax expenditures for middle- and working-class Americans - like the earned income tax credit - aren't thought of as loopholes; they're just thought of as benefits.
‐‐ Alex Pareene
Tax incentives might spur hiring in the short run, but how lasting are those gains if the jobs expire with the tax credits and they come at the expense of investing in the new technologies of the future?
‐‐ Myron Scholes
Tax increases appear to have a very large sustained and highly significant negative impact on output.
‐‐ Christina Romer
Tax increases slow economic growth. Why would you raise taxes? We need to reform spending, the tens of trillions of unfunded liabilities can never be funded by tax increases, that can only be fixed by reducing spending.
‐‐ Grover Norquist
Tax laws favor capital over labor, giving capital gains a lower rate than ordinary income. The rich get humongous mortgage interest deductions while renters get no deduction at all.
‐‐ Robert Reich
Tax policy is not about compassion.
‐‐ Michael Steele
Tax rates aren't everything with regard to incentives to work. I would probably work at a 100% tax rate next to a nude modeling studio. I'm joking, but you know what I'm saying. There's a lot more to it than just tax rates. It's economics that I do; I don't do nude modeling studio economics. People do respond to taxes.
‐‐ Arthur Laffer
Tax rates for the wealthy should revert to Clinton-era levels, both because it is necessary for long-term deficit reduction and because fairness dictates it. Moreover, there is no proof that higher marginal rates dissuade investment, all the rhetoric from the Right notwithstanding.
‐‐ Eliot Spitzer
Tax rates should never be raised in some brackets without being raised in all brackets.
‐‐ Bradley A. Smith
Tax reductions are usually simpler and less distortive. I'm certainly willing to look at getting rid of tax deductions/credits, and go to dramatically reduced rates.
‐‐ Grover Norquist
Tax reform and expanded trade are going to be so important to the economy of Illinois, particularly the 11th Congressional District, which is a major manufacturing and a major agricultural district.
‐‐ Jerry Weller
Tax reform is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
‐‐ Max Baucus
Tax reform is taking the taxes off things that have been taxed in the past and putting taxes on things that haven't been taxed before.
‐‐ Art Buchwald
Tax reform means, 'Don't tax you, don't tax me. Tax that fellow behind the tree.'
‐‐ Russell B. Long
Tax season always means a deluge of tax advice. Unfortunately, most of it is futile and lightweight.
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
Tax should be the same for everybody.
‐‐ Mario Cuomo
Tax time is the perfect opportunity to jumpstart your spring-cleaning by tackling your financial to-do list.
‐‐ Alexa Von Tobel
Tax what you burn not what you earn.
‐‐ Christine Pelosi
Taxation: how the sheep are shorn.
‐‐ Edward Abbey
Taxation is just a sophisticated way of demanding money with menaces.
‐‐ Terry Pratchett
Taxation is not charity. It is not voluntary. As we shrink the state and make government smaller, we will find that more and more people are able to take care of themselves.
‐‐ Grover Norquist
Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success.
‐‐ Mark Skousen
Taxation without representation is tyranny.
‐‐ James Otis
Taxes are important. President Bush's tax proposals leave no rich person behind. Voters approve of President Bush helping the kind of people they wish they were one of.
‐‐ Andy Rooney
Taxes are just too high - that's obviously a priority.
‐‐ Scott Garrett
Taxes are like abortion, and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You're for them or against them. Taxes go up or down; government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words 'abortion' or 'tax hikes' pass their lips.
‐‐ Ann Coulter
Taxes are not good things, but if you want services, somebody's got to pay for them so they're a necessary evil.
‐‐ Michael Bloomberg
Taxes are not trivial - they're a huge portion of this overall economy. And that's why I focused on them.
‐‐ Arthur Laffer
Taxes are what we pay for civilized society, for modernity, and for prosperity. The wealthy pay more because they have benefitted more.
‐‐ Jill Lepore
Taxes aren't the way to go. They'd strangle the economy; you wouldn't create the wealth. And nothing squanders money as well as a government. What we need is to encourage rich people to give.
‐‐ John Caudwell
Taxes on capital, taxes on labor, inflation, bureaucratic regulation, minimum wage laws, are all - to different degrees - unnecessary slices of the wedge that stand between an individual's effort and reward for that effort.
‐‐ Jack Kemp
Taxes, well laid and well spent, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and promote the general welfare. Taxes protect property and the environment; taxes make business possible. Taxes pay for roads and schools and bridges and police and teachers. Taxes pay for doctors and nursing homes and medicine.
‐‐ Jill Lepore
'Taxi Driver' is a movie that changed my life and made me a serious actor. Scorsese and De Niro. I give credit for anything that I've ever done as an actor.
‐‐ Michael Biehn
'Taxi Driver' was one of the happiest moments of my career.
‐‐ Cybill Shepherd
'Taxi Driver' was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I didn't become a weirdo and squawk like a chicken.
‐‐ Jodie Foster
'Taxi Driver' wasn't autobiographical in terms of the actual events, but I did draw on my own mental state.
‐‐ Paul Schrader
Taxi drivers used to ask me what kind of music I did, and I'd say, 'Well, it's kind of jazz, soul, classical' - but that makes no sense to anyone.
‐‐ Laura Mvula
'Taxicab Confessions' always cracks me up. And if you are in the mood for a good game show, I like 'Survivor' because it's well made.
‐‐ R. J. Cutler
Taxidermy is the one thing I collect that I've never used.
‐‐ Donald Baechler
Taxing people for having a spare bedroom and forcing them into rent arrears or the possibility of losing homes they have lived in for years has always been a cruel and heartless measure, and so it is good that the Scottish Parliament has been able to step in.
‐‐ Nicola Sturgeon
Taxing poor families runs counter to decades of effort to help people lift themselves out of poverty through work.
‐‐ Nicholas Johnson
