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.
Military Housing Allowance Much More Limited Than Clergy’s
Probably the main reason that I just had to write about this case is the reference to JROTC. My own experience with the program clearly demonstrated that I was ill-suited for any sort of a military career, but I do have very fond memories of the instructors who were among the more colorful members of the faculty. It was a very trying time for them and the country. Having a Jesuit high school be military was not at all disconcerting throughout most of history. Ignatius Loyola had been a soldier after all, but in the late sixties a few blocks north of Greenwich Village, it was rather odd.
Follow Me
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.
