Tax Day 2005

In honor of Tax Day I offer some highlights of my thoughts on our tax system:

Taxes do matter when it comes to entrepreneurs and their decision making....imagine that!

Bush's tax advisory panel is moving toward tax simplification--the classic oxymoron....you heard it here first!

Bush's small business agenda relies too much on trying to shape the behaviors of entrepreneurs using tax policies. This is a strategy that never really works for long. All it does is slow down the entrepreneurial economy.

A World Tax is in the works....be afraid, be very afraid!

Big corporations seem to find ways around the taxes the rest of us pay as seen by this post about Dell.

The Millionaire's Tax hurts small business owners.

The IRS is stepping up audits on small and medium businesses.

In this post I discuss how little of the wealth created by entrepreneurs stays with the entrepreneurs...2.2% to be exact.

Remember, there are alternatives floating around out there, like the fair tax.

And finally, the post that Hobbs was sure would get me an audit, "Taxes: A few thoughts."
