David Cay Johnston Quotes
In 1990, about 1 percent of American corporate profits were taken in tax havens like the Cayman Islands. By 2002, it was up to 17 percent, and it'll be up to 20-25 percent very quickly. It's a major problem. Fundamentally, we have a tax system designed for a national, industrial, wage economy, which is what we had in the early 1900s. We now live in a global, asset-based, services world. And we need to have a tax system that follows the economic order or it's going to interfere with economic growth, it's going to reduce people's incomes, and it's going to damage the US.

I don’t fear death. I remember my last meeting with my father when he told me, 'You know, tonight when I will be killed, my mother and my father will be waiting for me.' It makes me weepy … but I don’t think it can happen unless God wants it to happen because so many people have tried to kill me.
