Scholar Al Strikes At Dixieland Boondockery Again

So IRS wanted to give them zero, Judge Lauber allowed them in my mind a substantial deduction well over $150,000. On a percentage basis, it is not so much – slightly over 0.15%.  Just to be clear that is not 15% of the total claimed. It is 15% of 1% of the total claimed.  I am pretty sure that is as low as it has gone without going to zero.

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.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
