It’s long been a dream of mine that this is how spammers, those vermin of the Internet, will be dealt with. Track them down and use sledge hammers to send their computers to cyber heaven. What judge or jury would convict a spam vigilante for doing what we all wish would happen?

Respect for April 15 Deadline Is Eroding – It sounds like more people are catching on to the benefits of filing tax returns later. I do only a few returns by April 15, and most of them around October 15. I hope the fact that a lot of other people are copying this doesn’t mess things up with IRS. Sometimes there is a tendency for tax breaks to be spoiled when too many people try to take advantage of them and they rise to a higher profile on the IRS’s radar.

ABA Loosens Attorney-Client Secrecy Rules – Am I reading this correctly? If an attorney suspects a client is involved in a financial crime, s/he should inform the authorities. If the client is involved with something like a murder, rape or terrorist bombing, does the attorney have to keep quiet because it wasn’t financial?

Dean Gave VT High Taxes, Yet Media Tag Him “Fiscal Conservative” – Just another example of why the leftist agenda driven media can’t be trusted; especially in the coming months as they ramp up their push to anoint Queen Hillary as the smartest human to ever grace the planet in her drive for a third term in la Casa Blanca.

No cameras, please! Big Lotto winner’s shy – He’s starting off on the right foot in his new life as a target for all the leaches in the world.

Alabama GOP Governor, Christian Coalition Support Billion-Dollar Tax Increase

How I have always described playing the stock market.

At least three Libertarian candidates will appear on California recall ballot – I haven’t yet decided who to endorse for Governor of the PRC. Obviously, anyone, even the strangest of the group of clowns running, would be better than the thoroughly corrupt and incompetent career politician currently in the office. The novelty factor of Arnold S. is interesting. However, as many are already pointing out, he is the classic RINO, and is just as fond of government taxpayer funded programs as the DemonRats are. I don’t know any of the three Libertarians running; but this could be the best chance for a very real alternative to the status quo two party monopoly. I wish Art Olivier, the LP’s 2000 VP candidate, were in the running, because we were very impressed with him during his campaign swing through Arkansas that year. Coincidentally, Art was once the mayor of Bellflower, where Arnie and Arianna had their big candidacy filing show last Saturday.

End of the income tax? – There are still some people pushing the idea of replacing the income tax with a national sales tax. It is a very radical idea, with a very uphill battle; but I have long supported it as much fairer than the hideous monstrosity we have with the income tax system in this country. Such a drastic change would obviously dramatically alter what we professional tax practitioners do; but it would in no way put us out of business. There will still be plenty of clients looking for ways to minimize their new sales tax liabilities.
