Tax Guru – Ker$tetter Letter

Make the code less taxing

Don’t Count Your Chickens

The fans of high taxes here in Arkansas are not giving up their fight to deprive the voters from having a say on the taxation of sales of human food and medicine. In spite of one defeat (for them) in the Arkansas Supreme Court last week, they are trying again to convince the Supremes to toss the measure off of the ballot before next Tuesday’s election.

Even if the issue remains on the ballot, you can be sure that the bureaucrats will file even more lawsuits against it after November 5, if it wins, as they are certain it will.

Back Up On Backup Server

It’s been almost two weeks since the Blogspot server hosting my blog stopped showing recent postings. I have been contacting the Blogspot administrators and monitoring the situation ever since this first happened.

While there have been some users theorizing that this was a plot by the owners of Blogspot to force them into paying for their more expensive service, that is not true. I have seen several free hosted blogs operating just fine, while others, such as mine, that use the most expensive upgraded Blogspot hosting service, are not yet functioning properly.

Rather than wait any longer, I finally decided to copy everything from my blog to a new folder I set up on my main website. I’m not very happy about this because the hosting plan for my main site has a maximum storage of 50 megabytes. The top of the line hosting service I purchased from Blogspot has 100 megs.

If Blogspot ever gets back up and running reliably, I’ll see about moving things back and will make the appropriate adjustments and announcements.

A 401(k) Plan for Self-Employed Individuals

Over-Reacting To Accounting Scandals

Just because a few publicly traded companies played fast and loose with their accounting doesn’t mean that draconian new laws and regulations need to be instituted for the thousands of law abiding companies. Just as with gun control, more laws and restrictions aren’t the answer. Enforcing the existing laws will do the trick.
