How To Create A Fairer Tax Environment -
 - sanserve (110) 
Can lawmakers who don't have the courage or intelligence to outlaw texting while driving really be expected to create a saner tax structure? Hmmm.
Developing a fairer tax environment is much less an economics problem than it is a political dilemma and, as many of you observed, it is unlikely... ( added 20 days 22 hours ago.) |
I Was Taxed Twice On One Purchase! -
Ronyae (4,519)
Before I go into my rant as a source of ventilation, I would like to bring forth a rapidly growing issue to my readers, supporters, friends and family. The issue is that of having to pay for "overly priced" items that we may or may not see as a need. But we want it, and we shouldn't have to... ( added 40 days 13 hours ago.) |

Delusional and Stupid Tax Deniers -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,835)
Joel Hirschhorn
Year after year some Americans refuse to accept truth, reality, law and the courts. They see themselves as discovering what others have not.

Unfairness and Nonsense in the Tax Code -
Terry Mitchell (4,981) 
Terry Mitchell
Of all the unfair and nonsensical concepts in the federal tax code of the U.S., none stands out more than the way tax breaks are given to parents of dependent children.

Taxing Truth -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,835)
Joel Hirschhorn
Truth? Not usually heard about taxes. As certain as the law of gravity will be working years from now is that Americans will see higher taxes in the not too distant future.

No one wants to receive an IRS audit. If the IRS discovers a discrepancy in your return, it could lead to future problems. If you find discrepancies in a previous return, the best thing you can do is file an amended tax return.

Should Texas Secede From The Union? -
Laura Trahan (38,784)  
Laura Trahan
As a former member of the press, I always love how politicians can take a statement and blow it completely out of context in an effort to cause dissension.

Aetius Romulous
Mark to market accounting is a game changer in a game that needs some changing. Issue is though; it's the game that needs changing, and not the rules.

The Fallacy of Sin Taxes -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
I have to chuckle whenever I hear about someone proposing legislation to create or increase a sin tax. Frankly, I have never understood the concept. Sin taxes seem to be put in place to achieve two competing goals. When one of those goals flourishes, the other necessarily suffers. How much sense... ( added 232 days 22 hours ago.) |

Marty RicKard
I was doing a little figuring about how difficult it is to fathom the big figures they toss around in Washington . Obama's budget proposals range from one trillion to two trillion dollars. That means nothing to most people.

The Multiple Job Tax Trap -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
Last year, I worked at two different jobs, but that fact is not likely to cause me any tax headaches when I file my 2008 taxes. That's because I worked those jobs consecutively, not concurrently.

Gary W. Halsey Sr.
It's true!! Remember when you used to be able to claim the interest you paid on your cars? Okay then, why was that deduction ever taken away? Can anybody enlighten me on this?
