taxes

It's tax day, so I'll collapse two wonky links into one post. Kevin Drum breaks down tax payments by income and shows that our current tax structure is much closer to a flat tax than most people believe. And here's former Secretary of Labor Bob Reich's A Short Citizen's Guide to Kooks, Demagogues, and Right-Wingers On Tax Day. (3) #

Here's an excellent and simple graph comparing the differences between Obama's and McCain's tax proposals. Kevin Drum comments:
Bottom line: If you're really rich and think that George Bush's tax cuts for the rich didn't go nearly far enough, John McCain is your man.

TurboTax is giving a $25,000 cash prize for the person who submits the best rap about taxes. Somehow I wasn't surprised by the famous rapper TurboTax picked as their judge. (thx, smiling dork) (4) #

Irwin Schiff, the author of The Federal Mafia: How the Government Illegally Imposes and Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes, was found guilty on 13 counts in a Vegas court for not paying his taxes. It turns out the theory that taxes are voluntary doesn't really work in practice in a federal court. Said a friend of his at the trial, "The people with the tax honesty movement aren't a bunch of wackos who are just trying to twist the law in their favor." (3) #
