It’s never too early for tax planning…

From National Review Online:

Jay Nordlinger had this observation:

“We are admonished by our accountants not to send in our tax returns through the U.S. mail. Better to send them via some other means, to be sure they get there.

Isn’t that kind of comical? I mean, here we are, paying our taxes in order to have public services. And the U.S. mail is a service we don’t dare use, to pay for our services.”

Show Taxpayers the Spending. Government should have nothing to hide from those who fund it. – Phil Kerpen

 

America’s convoluted income-tax system should be optional – Deroy Murdock

 

Taxing Myths – Brian Riedl covers some of the mis-statements (aka lies) our left wing rulers and their media compatriots use, such as tax rate cuts created the deficit. For quite a while, this kind of statement has been one of the “litmus tests” I use to judge the intelligence and credibility of a person.  Anyone spouting such tripe has classified him/her self as an idiot, not to be believed or trusted on any subject.  I have recently added those who spout the Al Gore crapola about Americans being responsible for global warming to this litmus test for intelligence. Anyone stupid enough to fall for Gore’s idiotic theories that people are more powerful than the Sun really shouldn’t be trusted with sharp objects, much less have any of their opinions taken seriously on any subject.

From the Late Show email newsletter:

10. Every time you give him a receipt, he eats it

9. He keeps your records on an Etch-A-Sketch

8. Brags about the good advice he gave to Wesley Snipes

7. You visit his office and he’s actually counting beans

6. His children are named “Debit” and “Credit”

5. Keeps telling your wife she has a nice pair of W-2s

4. He puts you in for a $10 million refund and says, “Hey, let’s give it a shot!”

3. He keeps trying to deduct your pants

2. Ludicrous claims of having nailed both Morgan and Stanley

1. He keeps referring to the IRS as “those auditing hos”

Don’t give up on the Fair Tax…

Posted by taxguru on April 16, 2007

From a reader:

Subject: A Word of Thanks

Mr. Kerstetter,

I ran across your blog & website today while searching for a graphic to go along with the pro-FairTax post I am preparing for my own blog.

As I looked through your sites, I just had to say thank you for your support of free market economics & tax reform. It’s great!

Chuck Layne

My Reply:

Chuck:

I appreciate those kind words and knowing that there are others out there fighting for tax reform.

Please send me a link to your post on this and I’ll mention it in my blog.

Thanks for writing.

Kerry Kerstetter

Follow-Up:

Kerry,

Thank you for the offer to mention my post. The blog is at http://www.chuckschants.blogspot.com/

The comics you have are priceless!

Chuck Layne

Besides Chuck’s post on the Fair Tax, I want to echo a caller on last Friday’s Rush Limbaugh show, who chastised the substitute host, Tom Sullivan, for being so dismissive of the Fair Tax movement just because it is so seemingly impossible to conceive of success. That my be the case; but we do still have to have some hope that our long national nightmare of being slaves to the IRS can end some day.
