Tax Guru – Ker$tetter Letter

House Passes Mutual Fund Reform Bill

Morning Shows Express Hope Arnold Can Get Around Tax Cut Pledge

Networks Rue How Schwarzenegger’s Car Tax Cut Will Swell Deficit – It wasn’t just my imagination that newscasts were focused on an imaginary revenue loss and completely ignored the additional sales tax revenue that will be generated from new vehicle sales.

States that cashed in on a landmark $246 billion settlement with tobacco companies five years ago are spending little on programs to curb smoking – Standard operating procedure for our rulers. Claim a new tax or fee is for a special project or cause and then spend the money on whatever else they want to.

Ten most overpaid jobs in the U.S. – Any list of this kind is by definition very subjective.

Social Security Reform High on Political Agenda

Social Security Is an Election Year Issue – Which means there will be plenty of scare stories from the DemonRats and nothing done to improve the system.

Bush readies more tax breaks – Get ready for the diatribe about “tax cuts for the rich” who supposedly don’t need them, according to the DemonRats who believe only they know how to spend other people’s money.

Oasis No More? Internet users: Beware the MTC

The role of the government in making capitalism work.

Senate Panel Finds Abuses in Tax Shelter Sales

Schwarzenegger repeals car tax increase – You can’t get any faster in cutting taxes than this. Many of the reports on this on FoxNews claimed that this would immediately add over $4 billion dollars to the State’s budget deficit. That’s ridiculous. As I’ve pointed out over the past month, new car sales have dropped like a rock since Davis tripled the car tax. The lost sales tax revenue must have made the car tax revenue seem like a drop in the bucket. Why isn’t anyone reporting how much new sales tax revenue will start flowing to the State and counties now that Arnold has repealed the higher car tax?

Davis’ Pension: About $105,000 – Politics is one of the few professions where a person can be fired for gross incompetence and corruption, yet still retire handsomely at taxpayer expense.

Stop the Email Tax – Doing nothing to prevent taxes on Internet services is not an option.

Fewer workers make use of 401(k)s – Assuming the money is invested wisely, deferred comp plans are much better tax savings vehicles than IRAs.

Ask about Social Security – Don’t hold your breath waiting for any of our rulers, least of all the DemonRat presidential wannabes, to fix this disaster of a retirement plan.
