Tax Guru – Ker$tetter Letter

No limits for House appropriators who pile on pork – Our rulers think they’re a bunch of Santa Clauses.

Child abuse in government schools – It’s not hard to see why the principles of capitalism are dying off in this country, with school kids being indoctrinated in socialism.

Standard Is Set: No New Taxes For Texans

The Stock Market and … Saddam Hussein? – I’ve always gotten a kick out of newscasters who try to explain the stock market’s movement on a particular day by connecting it to something that happened in the news. They have no grasp of the difference between causality and coincidence. As I’ve always said, there is very little rhyme or reason to how the stock market moves. Anyone who claims to have the magic formula for predicting stock prices is nothing but a con artist.

Tennessee Urges Net Purchasers to Pay Tax – It’s nice to start this on a voluntary basis. However, I’m not sure how much money this will generate. Although, with virtually no collection costs, anything they receive would be pure profit to the State government.

Profits without honor – The concept of profits is considered obscene by too many ignoramuses in our poorly educated society. – Part 2 — Part 3

Internet Grinches. Online sales taxes are back in play.

Radical U.N. tax target – It’s bad enough that the rascals in DC monkey with the tax code. It would be much worse if the USA-hating United Nations were allowed to assess higher taxes on us in order to equalize the playing field with the rates in the even more socialist countries. As crazy an idea as an international tax might seem at first, it’s probably not far off now that our own Supreme Court is basing its decisions on international popular opinion rather than on our Constitution which they consider to be outdated and no longer relevant for our society.

States Have Chance to Tax Internet After Moratorium Expires – If our rulers in DC don’t hurry up and reinstitute the moratorium on Internet taxes, that opportunity will be gone forever. As soon as some jurisdictions start relying on those revenues, they will scream bloody murder if that money pipeline is shut down. Look what happened in the PRC. The cities are predicting the end of the world after Gov. Arnold repealed the higher car license tax that had only been in effect since October 1 of this year. New tax money is like highly addictive crack cocaine for our rulers.

It’s wise to know when it’s a good idea to consult with your tax advisor and when it’s really not appropriate.
