Proposition 13 25th Anniversary

Having lived through the fights surrounding the property tax revolution in the PRC, and its aftermath ever since it passed, this is an issue on which I try to stay as current as possible.  The lessons we all learned from the Proposition 13 battles can be applied to all tax jurisdictions around the country, as we tried a few years ago here in Arkansas.  As I said then, it was a true case of deja vu, with everyone predicting the end of the world if government were to ever be deprived of even one less penny in tax revenue.  Those arguments were used in the campaign against Proposition 13 in 1978, and we all know that the PRC is still in existence.

Iowa Touts Illegal Drug Stamp Tax – More on the unusual tax I discussed earlier.  I never received a response back from the Kansas tax authorities as to the amount of tax revenues actually received from people willing to declare themselves drug dealers.  According to this article, Iowa has received almost $4 million in taxes and penalties since 1990.  They mention how difficult this tax is to enforce and how futile it is trying to collect taxes from people who have had everything they own confiscated during their drug busts.
