Consumerism is so weird. Its a sort of conspiracy we collude in. Youd think shoppers spending their hard-earned cash would be highly critical. You know that the manufacturers are trying to have you on. (J. G. Ballard)
I am not evading tax in any way, shape or form. Now of course I am minimizing my tax and if anybody in this country doesn't minimize their tax they want their heads read because as a government I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra. View quote
Kerry Packer

A truly democratic country must proactively inform the public so that the public can decide on spending priorities. View quote
Alfred de Zayas
It was all about borders. And Arnold was on the wrong side of them. He'd end up spending the rest of his life in a 8' x 10' cell, another darling of the Left like Mumia Abu-Jamal or Lisl Auman, because he happened to be standing on one side of an arbitrary political boundary, a line as imaginary as the equator. View quote
Jacob M. Appel
We need to understand the more government spends, the more freedom is lost...Instead of simply debating spending levels, we ought to be debating whether the departments, agencies, and programs funded by the budget should exist at all. View quote
Ron Paul
The greatest threat facing America today is the disastrous fiscal policies of our own government, marked by shameless deficit spending and Federal Reserve currency devaluation. It is this one-two punch-- Congress spending more than it can tax or borrow, and the Fed printing money to make up the difference-- that threatens to impoverish us by further destroying the value of our dollars. View quote
Ron Paul
Thanks to the plan and clear vision, we managed to bring this people from dictatorship into democracy, without any bloodshed. Thanks to the plan and firm vision, we may show this country a way out form the biggest economic misery ever suffered by a European county, and into economic prosperity. But the vision is vital at all times. You should always ask yourself where you are heading to. Not only whether I am running fast, or spending energy, but whether I know which the goal I want to achieve is. View quote
Zoran Đinđić
This commitment to end world hunger, and my music and story songs, are ways of dealing with the world as I see it. I'm playing 200 concerts per year-- half of them benefits-- all of them attempts at getting across the footlights to people I would enjoy spending time with in non-concert situations. And over the past 4 years of musical fun, millions of dollars have been raised for things I believe in. Telling stories of our time, building a lasting body of work, new songs, new records, new audiences, new challenges, and still that painfully exciting process of growth that can make one's life into a richly woven tapestry. (Harry Chapin)
Families out there know that if they get in trouble and they've spent up a bunch of money and they've borrowed and they are up to hock to their necks, the thing they've got to do is start paying off what they owe and cut back their spending. View quote
Mike Huckabee
I think it's important that people know what raising the debt ceiling is. It's Congress giving permission to the federal government to borrow more money that we don't have, and we borrow it for the purpose of spending it. View quote
Michele Bachmann
What I want to do is to make sure that we fully repeal Obamacare. This will be one of the largest spending initiatives we will ever see in our country. And also, it will take away choice from the American people. View quote
Michele Bachmann
After the $700 billion bailout, the trillion-dollar stimulus, and the massive budget bill with over 9,000 earmarks, many of you implored Washington to please stop spending money that we don't have. But instead of cutting, we saw an unprecedented explosion of government spending and debt. It was unlike anything we've ever seen before in the history of the country. View quote
Michele Bachmann
If you are spending most of your time and money in the digital world today, why not build your career and business there? View quote
Jay Samit
Spending all your money before you have a business model, makes about as much sense as drinking all your water before you hike across a desert so that you won't have to carry the canteen. View quote
Jay Samit
I withdrew further into the World of Warcraft, neglecting my homework and spending all of my free time playing it. View quote
Elliot Rodger
It goes in waves. You see good eras of racing in sportscars as the manufacturers come. And when they go, the series struggles to survive. So, for me especially, I just have to enjoy this moment. I'm lucky to be here as a driver with three mega manufacturers fighting it out, spending a lot of money. It's great for the drivers while it lasts, but we all know deep down it's not going to last. It's a ticking time bomb. History proves that it is. View quote
Anthony Davidson
I don't go to the sale rack. But I wouldn't say I am decadent in my spending. I am careful. View quote
Madonna (entertainer)
The idea is to find some bit of holiness in everything-food, sex, earning and spending money, having children, conversations with friends. Everything can be seen as a miracle, as part of God's plan. When we can truly see this, we nourish our souls. (Harold S. Kushner)
Keeping accounts, Sir, is of no use when a man is spending his own money, and has nobody to whom he is to account. You won't eat less beef today, because you have written down what it cost yesterday. View quote
Samuel Johnson

Joseph Stiglitz
I just don't like when there's a rumor that says I'm dating someone who is below my standards. But when I got divorced, my ex-wife said I was spending all my time with Lindsay Lohan and Angelina Jolie. I was like, 'Thank you for the big ups!' View quote
Marilyn Manson
I worry about the kids who have too much. As a parent living in a so-called good neighborhood with children who went to private high school, I found myself spending much time in parent groups worrying about alcohol, unsupervised parties, and parents not being parents. View quote
Marian Wright Edelman
