Peace Activists Protest War by Refusing TaxesOn Sat., May 3, in Birmingham, AL, $93,000 of unpaid "war taxes" - federal income taxes - will be publicly redirected away from the Internal Revenue Service to a New Orleans health clinic and to a group in the Middle East aiding Iraqi refugees. This redirection ceremony will take place during a meeting of the National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee. For reasons of conscience, over 520 people from 44 states have "boycotted" $325,000 of their 2007 federal taxes. Of that total, $50,000 has been designated for the Common Ground Health Clinic in New Orleans and the Direct Aid Initiative will receive $43,000. The remaining $232,000 has been designated for scores of other humanitarian projects in the United States and around the w

Make no mistake: cash gifting is 100% legal in the United States and Canada. There has never been a law passed that prohibits us as individuals from sharing our assets, belongings or cash. It is a misconception to believe otherwise – a misconception that can keep you in the poorhouse. From the beginning of time, people have helped other people. Everybody needs help sometimes. Gifting programs allow the receivers to obtain proper housing, start businesses and even send their children to college.Cash gifting systems that are based on honesty and integrity use what is known as the EZ1Up program. In a nutshell, this means that you give first and then receive. Of course, the beauty of it is that with proper promotion you receive far more than you ever gave initially. You recoup your investmen

A capital gain is income derived from the sale of an investment. A capital investment can be a home, a farm, a ranch, a family business, or a work of art, for instance. In most years slightly less than half of taxable capital gains are realized on the sale of corporate stock. The capital gain is the difference between the money received from selling the asset and the price paid for it. "Capital gains" tax is really a misnomer. It would be more appropriate to call it the "capital formation" tax. It is a tax penalty imposed on productivity, investment, and capital accumulation. The capital gains tax is different from almost all other forms of taxation in that it is a voluntary tax. Since the tax is paid only when an asset is sold, taxpayers can legally avoid payment by

As the world becomes more global and more integrated organizations may find that they are facing problems associated with having operations it two independent countries with different tax laws. When organizations must pay taxes on the same earnings or assets to two different entities they find themselves in a double taxation situation. Since the more taxes an organization pays the less income it can retain within the company many organizations are faced with the ethical dilemma of using tax avoidance methods to reduce this liability.When organizations decide to engage in tax avoidance they must consider more then simply the reduction of income. These considerations can come in the form of ethical responsibilities, national responsibility, the legal or illegal methods they use and the poten

Many months ago, I received a letter from NY State, saying that I might be audited for the 2004 tax year. They said that they were missing some information, and that I should just send it to them. I knew what the problem was. I had moved to Florida mid year, and sold a ton of stock just two days after I arrived there. This was before I had a chance to switch over my driver's license, and such. Sure I had a lease that showed I was paying rent in Florida at the time, but of course that doesn't actually prove that I was living there. Plenty of people have homes in many states, and plenty of people have a small period of overlap in rent when they are moving, especially interstate. I really had nothing to prove that I was physically living in FL at the time that the stocks were sold. The only evidence I could provide would be somewhat circumstantial.At the time of the letter, I spoke to the accountant who had handled my taxes, and he said that sometimes they go after people who le

1. Finance Government Spending. 2. Reduce inequality. Higher income tax can help to reduce inequality. For example, the top rate of income tax (40% on incomes over £27,000) is a progressive tax.

No one is more in favor of the District of Columbia receiving full representation in Congress than me. However, this scheme by Tom Davis to give the nation's capital a vote in the House of Representatives together with an additional seat for the state of Utah is unconstitutional. But don't take my word for it. Here's the opinion of GWU law professor Jonathan Turley, who except for my friends at the Cato Institute, is probably the most knowledgeable person around regarding our founding docuement: "I truly believe this is a dead letter as soon as it arrives to court," he said. "And if the legislation was struck down after a lengthy court fight," he said, "it could jeopardize any laws that had been passed in the meantime in which the D.C. or Utah votes were critical."This bill is simply Tom Davis up to his old tricks. Mr. Turley continues: "The District was created openly, expressly to be a non-state," Turley said, calling the bill "the most premeditated unconstitutional act of Congres

I have recently been reading literature on Georgism. Georgists believe that everything an individual creates is their own personal property and the government has no right to take possession of it. Separating Georgists from anarchocapitalists, however, is the georgist belief that land cannot be truly owned, only "rented" from the community. As a result, georgist assert that all forms of taxation, whether they be on labor, capital, or improved property, are unjust. Taxation on the unimproved value of land, i.e. the value of a piece of land if there were no improvements on it, is taxable.Georgists assert that this land-value tax (LVT) is merely rent paid back to the community. As a result of a tax on only a piece of property's land, the growth of communities will be natural (no urban sprawl), and wilderness will be preserved without the coercive power of government.While reading up on georgism, I couldn't help but think about Ward Republicanism, a "Confederation of Confederacies", and

In Tuesday’s State of the Union Address, President Bush is expected to announce his new healthcare ‘plan’ that will include new taxes. From the New York Times: WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 — President Bush intends to use his State of the Union address Tuesday to tackle the rising cost of health care with a one-two punch: tax breaks to help low-income people buy health insurance and tax increases for some workers whose health plans cost significantly more than the national average. [emphasis added] The article continues: The basic concept is that employer-provided health insurance, now treated as a fringe benefit exempt from taxation, would no longer be entirely tax-free. Workers could be taxed if their coverage exceeded limits set by the government. But the government would also offer a new tax deduction for people buying health insurance on their own. Just this past election cycle, with the Republican majorities threatened by scandals, President Bush sought to rally the ba
