How Not To Care About IRS E-mail Snooping
Here is why I don’t care. I never put anything in an e-mail that I would care about the IRS seeing and neither should you. When you send an e-mail, you should go on the assumption that within a few days there will be a gazillion copies of it. The system you send it from probably has multiple back-ups as does the system of the recipient and the systems of the unlimited number of people the recipient might forward it to.
Sales Tax Class Action Suits Seem Frivolous
Both those suits also lost. There does not seem to be a broad federal principle at work. The cases turn on nuances of state law. So I wonder if one class action firm or other other will end up trying this in each of the other 42 states that have sales tax.
According to this story somebody is going after Hertz on a similar theory to the Rite Aid case. Apparently Dell lost in a California case on the service contracts. There has also been a successful suit against AT&T Mobility.

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.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
