Quotes about Educational Costs

Henry Ford II

I’m getting worried. This year I’m paying eleven thousand dollars. And that’s the first time in six years that I’m paying anything. My lawyers take care of it

Ford had asked Iacocca, then the President and the number 2 executive to Ford, if he paid any income tax. Iacocca paid about 50 percent of his income as the maximum bracket at the time was over 70 percent. Ford wanted to help him out. At the time Ford earned millions of dollars every month. One of the things that this quote illustrates is that it would not have mattered with Ford whether the maximum tax rate was 30%, 50% or 70%. He and the other super-rich people were not going to pay much anyway because of the loopholes, the deductions, and gaming the system.
