Did You Hear The One About Bernie Sanders And Kent Hovind Walking Into A Tax Blog?
One of the things that is just a bit disconcerting to me is that the core of this blog ends up not being the most popular part. I at least look and read a high percentage of federal tax cases and also many state cases. In the process I uncover many stories that otherwise go largely unremarked. Those tend to not be my most popular posts, but I suspect that is what sustains my core readership. There are actually some valuable lessons in many of those posts. I have no intention of changing my ways, as I feel inclined to do all that reading to serve my clients anyway and I can’t resist sharing the really interesting stories even when they end up being seen by hundreds rather than tens of thousands.
Bernie Sanders And The 90% Income Tax Rate That He Does Not Call For
Republicans seem to alternate between a libertarian paradise or some sort of vision of how things must have been in 1795 when the Founding Fathers were still keeping an eye on things. Bernie Sanders wants us to have an economy like it was in the sixties and early seventies, when a summer of hard work could pay a year’s tuition and there were plenty of factory jobs that would support a family. Of course that post-World War II golden age might also prove elusive due to demographic changes and the rest of the world catching up with the United States.

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.
