Chairman’s Report - March 23, 2018
Many pundits and spokespeople for the Swamp (they are often the same) shrilly denounce the recent income tax plan because it “unfairly” limits the state and local tax deduction to $10,000. Discounting that most of these spokespeople and members of the Swamp live in states with high state and local taxes, the argument seems to be that all of the residents of the other states should “subsidize” the state tax burden paid by the people who elect to reside in states with high state and local taxes.

On January 24, 1965, Winston Churchill died at the age of 90. He was in the public eye from a very young age because of his reporting from South Africa about the Boer War and being captured and then escaping his captors. It is also because the first of his 43 books was published in 1898. Read More.

Chairman’s Report - February 16, 2018
To a person who uses the logic of someone who works for a living and lives outside of the Swamp, any legitimate tax bill that seeks to reform the existing broken income/payroll tax system would eliminate tax extenders. Tax extenders are special tax benefits that have to be renewed, usually in one to three years, or they expire. The Swamp loves these tax extenders because then they can extort the beneficiaries for a continuing flow of funds in order that the Swamp can influence Congress to extend it over and over again.

Chairman’s Report - April 27, 2018
In 1954, Congress enacted the clergy housing allowance which allows a church to provide a housing allowance to its minister that is not taxable as income to the minister. The Freedom From Religion Foundation website describes its purpose: “The history of Western civilization shows us that most social and moral progress has been brought about by persons free from religion. In modern times the first to speak out for prison reform, for humane treatment of the mentally ill, for abolition of capital punishment, for women’s right to vote, for death with dignity for the terminally ill, and for the right to choose contraception, sterilization and abortion have been freethinkers, just as they were the first to call for an end to slavery. The Foundation works as an umbrella for those who are free from religion and are committed to the cherished principle of separation of state and church.” Read More.

When looking at the actions of politicians, Mark Twain said, “I’ve found that common sense ain’t so common.” Only inside the Washington D.C. Beltway will you find supposedly intelligent people that will look you in the eye and tell you that businesses actually pay taxes from some mysterious account that they have. These “brains” point to the billions of dollars that some of these corporations have. However, much of it has been kept outside of the U.S. because of U.S. tax policies and much of it is for re-investment in their business. Read More.
