Judicial Watch Loses Orthodontist Suit Against Delay Of Obamacare Employer Mandate

Judicial Watch Loses Orthodontist Suit Against Delay Of Obamacare Employer Mandate

A dissenting judge had pointed out that Doctor Kawa was out the interest he could have earned on the five grand over two years.  I guess that might have amounted to something back when money still earned interest.  That had not been mentioned in the claim.  And really, you shouldn’t be in court over something that could be settled with maybe a steak dinner.

And even if he had been harmed, the Court did not see how the order he was requesting to prevent the administration from kicking the can down the road would make him any better off.

AICPA Wasted Member Dues On IRS Lawsuit

Then my villainous cynical mind kicks in.  Suppose large local and regional firms started pledging that any non-CPAs who touched your return would be people who had at least passed the IRS exam and challenged you to ask the larger firms if they could match that.  A very large portion of the tax work done by the largest firms is actually done in India.  Clients who take the time to read the voluminous engagement letters are aware of this, but still it might prove something of an embarrassment.  If the firms went ahead and had their Indian employees take the exam, I’m thinking the Tea Party would have a blast with the long list of Indian names on the IRS preparer rolls.

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.
