Target Brands Unit Cannot Entirely Avoid Colorado Income Tax

Target Brands Unit Cannot Entirely Avoid Colorado Income Tax

I probably don’t get out enough or something because I don’t recognize any of the brands for various lines of products that Target supports.  I had fun guessing what some of them might be.  Boots & Barkley sounded like something outdoorsy.  It’s actually stuff for your pets, which makes sense when I think about it.  I had no idea what Xhilaratation might be, which you will see is a good thing if you check the link. Fieldcrest also sounded outdoorsy, but it is towels.

City Plays Grinch When Ellen DeGeneres Helps Single Mother

One of my earliest blogging dreams was to be noticed by Ellen Degeneres, as I assiduously covered the tax controversy about same-sex marriage.  The obsession grew over the years enough so that someone whose opinion I value told me that it was getting creepy.  At any rate, I never got the impression that her people were following my blog. It does strike me though that it would be a good thing if her show and Shutterfly did some followup on the people that they helped to make sure there are not unintended consequences.  I think Shutterfly’s tax department needs to take a look at their decision to send out 1099’s to the beneficiaries of their philanthropy.

Mostly, though I think the tax collectors of Xenia, Ohio should probably just back down on this and go fight crime someplace else.  This situation is in no way comparable to that of Survivor, Richard Hatch, who was competing for the million-dollar prize he failed to report.

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.
