Households Quotes from:
-
Asks Quotes
I want to reform the tax code so that it's simple, fair, and asks the wealthiest households to pay higher taxes on incomes over $250,000 - the same rate we had when Bill Clinton was president; the same rate we had when our economy created nearly 23 million new jobs, the biggest surplus in history, and a lot of millionaires to boot.

Approach Quotes
With the increasing number of millionaire households, comes an increasing confidence as over three-quarters of high-net worth households feel they will be financially prepared for retirement. These millionaire households understand that calculated risks are still a necessity within their portfolio design, however, over 50 percent have become much more conservative in their investment approach over the past year.
-
Absorb Quotes
People who are poor enough to receive LIHEAP benefits, such as elderly widows living below the poverty line, are not in a position to absorb a big increase in home heating costs. If these households don't receive more help paying their utility bills, many of them will face excruciating choices between heating their homes, paying the rent, having enough food to last through the month, and meeting other basic needs. Serious hardship is virtually certain to ensue.
-
Children Quotes
Whatever the exact numbers, the scale and persistence of the problem of child-headed households in Rwanda is daunting, ... The plight of these children is not only heartbreaking and unacceptable -- it raises deeply troubling questions about the long-term prospects for the country's recovery.
-
Banks Quotes
To have an effective monetary policy, you have to have a robust borrowing and lending cycle. The problem is that households and businesses are both overextended, while banks have problems with their current loan base. So we don't have a viable borrowing and lending cycle, which means that monetary policy is not working effectively.
-
Believe Quotes
We do believe that the U.S. housing market is a bubble in the sense that its contribution to consumer spending is unsustainable. Households have used a large share of the recent home equity gains to supplement their spending. When these gains dry up, as they ultimately must, spending is likely to weaken substantially.
-
Affect Quotes
Financial markets, along with households and businesses, seem to be reasonably well prepared to cope with a transition to a more neutral stance of monetary policy, ... Although many factors may affect inflation in the short-run, inflation in the long-run, it is important to remind ourselves, is a monetary phenomenon.
-
America Quotes
Fifty-two percent of the households in America are invested in the U.S. stock market and they want to invest in the things that had 70 percent growth last year, ... As long as the money keeps flowing into equity mutual funds and they are targeted toward Nasdaq stocks, we are going to see this go on for a while.
-
Attracted Quotes
Family households often believe they have no choice but to move to the suburbs. They will only be attracted to communities that have food, schools, parks, child care facilities, services and community centers. These are the very households that make up most of the demand for urban sprawl.
-
Capacity Quotes
There is nothing that looks at the future capacity to have income as much as the housing sector, and the fact that this sector has held together as well as it has ... is indicative to me that consumers are feeling very good about their economic prospects and that they are going to continue to spend, ... Households are enormously confident and their wages are going up, and they've got income to spend. That's going to make it hard to slow down spending.
-
Contrast Quotes
We know that income disparities are pretty wide, rural households still have to eke out a living and there is not enough trickle-down from prosperous areas. The key is improving agriculture -- there have been draughts and lack of infrastructure makes it difficult for people to market their crops. But I think in many respects Africans are eternal optimists -- AIDS, hunger and lack of long-term opportunities seem to stand in contrast to the poll.
-
Among Quotes
There's a great deal of confusion among contributors. The program has not been publicized. We'd be lucky to talk to 20 households an evening. We have to give a complete explanation of what this thing's about. Out of the 20 households, you'd be lucky to have four or five contributions. If you did it every night for the 66 days allowed, you'd still only have about 300 contributions.
-
Cover Quotes
Sometimes our definitions fall short. Take, for example, the way we view income and labor. It simply doesn't cover enough of the work that women, and in particular poor women, are doing - especially in their own households and the vast 'informal' economy in which most of the world's poorest people work.
-

Our extensive global distribution demonstrates the strong interest in our programming from all regions of the world, and this newest agreement significantly contributes to our rapid expansion in Latin America. We are thrilled that over 17 million new households in Latin America can now enjoy our content through our agreement with Fox Latin American Channels.

Brave Quotes
And there is certainly nothing courageous about creating a Brave New definition of marriage that will lead to more innocent children being placed in homosexual households that are fatherless or motherless by design--and schools teaching homosexual 'marriage' as normal and just another lifestyle choice.
-
Best Quotes
The wealthiest households took the hardest hit from the equity slide over the past two years and had the largest debt exposure. Since these high-income households are in the best position to withstand deterioration in their financial positions, the shocks are likely to have a limited effect on overall consumer spending.
-
Changes Quotes
This also suggests that retailers may be better off targeting customers within a few-mile radius of their store locations rather than broadcasting a wider marketing net. Households with incomes under $49,000 and heads of households under 44 -- largely those groups whom you would expect to be undergoing life changes such as marriage, children, rising income, or possibly a new home -- were the most likely to report spending more this season.
-
Continues Quotes
This initiative has been more effective than any other at getting people off of the welfare rolls in this country. If the current administration or the next continues to talk about revamping the tax system in this country, I urge them to keep the EITC. The tax preparation process should be streamlined, especially for households who qualify for EITC, so that tax fraud is more easily detected.

Countries Quotes
A lot of people know about the power of the WWE brand. We're in 145 countries in 30 different languages. We reach about 650 million households worldwide on a global weekly basis. But what they don't know about WWE is that we use all of that power to give back to the community through events like Hurricane Sandy Relief.

Apparel Quotes
As much as 85 percent of U.S. households go to Wal-Mart and we get 100 million visitors a week at the stores. Yet everyone who goes there buys consumables but not apparel or electronics, which are two huge categories, ... We want to complete the shopping experience for our loyal customers and as well as appeal to a different kind of customer.
