We have been looking at ways in which to improve the quality of our content; so we are adding short videos (VidCasts) of my answering reader questions. These should be more enlightening than the completely text versions.
This is going to be an evolving process as we become more proficient in utilizing this medium and our skills with the software and equipment improve. Our goal as of now is to do the same kind of Q&As as I have been posting for several years on my blog in these free short YouTube videos.
As we become more comfortable with this technology, we also plan to present some more intense live online webinars on some of the topics that seem to have the most interest around the country. There will be a charge for these to cover the costs, as well as for our time. As charitable as we are, we are evil capitalists and do intend to make a profit on this venture. The mini-classes will be of particular interest to small business owners and investors who are interested in learning techniques on how to minimize their taxes, as well as professional tax advisors with whom I can share my 34 plus years of experience. The costs will be very reasonable and much less than the $250 per hour that clients are paying me for one on one consulting.
This first batch of VidCasts that we produced are rough as we learn how to operate everything; but the information they contain should be useful for anyone wanting to keep their taxes down.

This film trailer parody from the Australian show Chaser’s War On Everything cracked me up, especially the special way Crocodile Dundee has of dealing with his tax auditor.

A recent episode of South Park had the following bit on how our exalted rulers in DC are making the insane financial decisions they have been pummeling us with over the past several months. It can’t be any more ridiculous than what is really happening with blithering idiots like President 0bambi, Tax Cheat Geithner, Banking Queen Barney Frank and Corrupt Senator Christopher Dodd in charge of the USA’s financial systems.
Last night, we were watching a NetFlix DVD by the extremely funny and talented ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham, and he had the following short bit about our favorite government agency. As Jeff has said in interviews, he is lucky by being able to say a lot of politically incorrect things through his dummies that wouldn’t be tolerated from a human.

I am the blog intern at Oxford University Press, and I found your blog very informative and humorous (I love the cartoons!).
I noticed that you recently posted about the scandal over Congressman Rangel’s failure to comply with tax law. Edward A. Zelinsky recently posted on this topic on our site, and I thought that perhaps you’d like to recommend it to your readers.
Zelinsky is a Professor of Law and the author of The Origins of the Ownership Society: How The Defined Contribution Paradigm Changed America. He discusses Rangel’s situation in light of the achievements of his predecessor, Wilbur Mills.
If I can help you in any other way, please let me know!
Best,
My Reply:
That is a very interesting comparison of the differences in the Ways & Means Chairmen over the decades.
Even though I wasn’t yet living in Arkansas back in the 1970s, I remember following many of the exploits of Wilbur Mills, both on the tax writing committee, as well as with his friend, Fanne Fox.
