Tax Court Will Go Dark For December
I actually kind of like the notion of a month of silence from the Tax Court. My original blogging strategy was to read as much current original source material as I could and write about the things that I find interesting. The Tax Court was by far my best source.
Over the years though rather than having my posts be essentially reactions to opinions, I have done more digging. Also I have found that there are ongoing story arcs that demand attention. Kent Hovind alone could keep me going if I had more patience with Youtube. Bottom line is that I have fallen woefully behind in reading current cases and the December hiatus will give me a chance to catch up.
But what will happen to Lew Taishoff? Mr. Taishoff blogs the Tax Court with fierce intensity. He posts on decisions before the ink is dry on them or maybe we should say while the electrons are still excited. And he even goes through the Tax Court orders. Well he has made it through government shutdowns and other dry spells. So I suppose that he will make it through this drought.
Trump Seven Springs Easement Deduction May Be Reasonable
The Seven Springs easement is real and it is on a property that he owned a long time. The New York AG probably is politically motivated in pursuing this. The Post has done some really good work here and they weren’t afraid to report a competing narrative, so they deserve a lot of credit. Other than that. Not much to see here, folks.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
