Pickett’s Charge 150 – Aftermath
As we walked to our car I asked CV what her overall impression was. She said that she was strongly reaffirmed in her belief that war is stupid, irresponsible, obscene and a waste of human life. She thinks there is a better way to resolve conflict than sending your children to be slaughtered. (She had been really impressed by the comment by one of the interpreters that over 100,000 Civil War soldiers were under fifteen, some as young as nine.) She thinks that if we were to spend as much money on learning skillful conflict resolution as we do on war and preparations for war, we would be a world at peace. She thinks we associate war with honor, duty and integrity, but it is really about slaughtering your children.
Appeals Court Approves Michael Dell’s Proposition 13 Dodge
Wayne Lusvardi in Fox and Hounds called the story an urban myth because if fails to distinguish between the sale of real estate and the sale of a business. It happens that there was a deemed sale of the real estate for income tax purposes along with the rest of the business assets, but that’s not property taxes. He also pointed out that in the long run, thanks to the massive renovation, there will be an increase in the property tax base. Of course, in the short run, there is that more than $300,000 refund.

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.
