Tax Court Goes To Webster For Definition Of Construction – And Watch That NAICS Code
The reference to the Webster’s II New Riverside University Dictionary made me wonder if that is somehow the official Tax Court dictionary. I found that it has been cited by the Tax Court 20 times which is twice as often as the Oxford English Dictionary. The higher courts seem to favor OED. Still you can get a copy from Amazon for one cent. Well, it’s four bucks when you throw in the shipping. Still, I decided to order myself a copy.
Kansas Property Tax Consultant War – A Sign Of Things To Come?
This situation may create what I am going to call the Tea Party Paradox. There is a desire for less government and lower taxes in general, but also a sense that what government there is should be more local and state than federal. So now we have the situation where the people who want to slash the federal government are positioned to slash the levels of government, that they view as more benign, although perhaps still in need of pruning.
Then there is what I will call the Lois Lerner Effect. Anti-tax zealots are using misbehavior in one of the more obscure, less significant parts of the IRS to condemn the entire system and advocate an entirely new system. What happened in Kansas with the Court of Tax Appeals indicates that zealous legislators can restructure a system relatively quickly once they get a head of steam up.

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.
