Montana Court Rules For And Against Online Travel Companies

Montana Court Rules For And Against Online Travel Companies

It strikes me that this particular dispute illustrates one of the downsides of federalism,. The same issue is being fought all over the country with disparate results.

Why Don’t We Eliminate The Charitable And Mortgage Interest Deductions?

Why Don’t We Eliminate The Charitable And Mortgage Interest Deductions?

The only two things I will eliminate are the charitable contribution and the mortgage interest deduction.  The reason I picked them is because in most, if not all, of the Republican plans, those are the only two itemized deductions that are kept.  Frankly if you blew those away, I think you would end up with a lot of non-itemizers, except in the high tax states, but let the chips fall where they may.

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.
