Tax Guru-Ker$tetter Letter

Tuesday, June 03, 2003

Driving While Intaxicated - In Oregon, fuel efficient cars are making its 24 cents per gallon tax inadequate to cover road maintenance costs, so they are considering using a GPS spy system to monitor how many miles each vehicle drives and add a per-mile charge to the tab when the owner fills up the tank. Obviously, Big Brother opponents aren't happy with this new invasion of privacy. They claim they remove the per gallon tax if this new system is implemented; but that is unlikely. New taxes aren't used to replace old taxes. They are added to existing taxes.

When a tax cut becomes a welfare check - The Left wants to give $400 per child to people who don't pay any income taxes.

The Bush stimulus is already driving up the stock market

Prop. 13 - Bruce Bartlett celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Here's an issue I've covered quite often. Does the First Amendment protect the right of people to publish materials on how to break the law? Tax protest scammer Irwin Schiff obviously thinks it does; but a judge in Las Vegas doesn't.

The legal system is now our enemy - How our lives have changed, and not for the better, because of the fear of lawsuits.
