How to use levy in a sentence?

1. The DOJ:

   Maurice Levy and Derrick Levy further admitted that they would call individuals in the United States, many of whom were elderly and vulnerable, and falsely claim that the individuals had won a sweepstakes prize but were required to pay fees prior to the delivery of the prize. In truth, no such prize existed.

2. John Redwood:

   If letting foreign countries impose laws on you, levy taxes on you, and spend your money is such a good idea why doesn’t he create an American Union so Mexico can have common borders with the U.S.?

3. Dan Neidle:

   The bank levy is simply a bad tax. It pushes business away from the UK, and it penalises banks for engaging in low risk business.

4. Bryan Carter:

   The downgrade risk is there, the potential that Levy is dismissed is the most important risk that she needs to dispel.

5. Getty Images:

   I would not have come to this, why is there a roof? It is more important that we have three chandeliers than that we make sure we don’t kill Eugene Levy tonight. That is what has been decided.
