Thoughts on tax day — 5 Comments

  1. Every April 15th I think of Justice Learned Hand. To paraphrase Hizzoner: It is perfectly acceptable for Americans to structure their affairs so as to legally pay the least amount of tax.

    As the anti-Biden I say legally paying the least amount of tax is every American’s patriotic duty. The only real control we have over govt expansion is to starve the beast (and even that doesn’t work well with the credit-card congresses of the past 70 years).

  2. My new tradition is Turbo Tax. It makes the process fairly, at least procedurally, painless.

  3. While my income has remained constant for the past 6 years, my taxes (combined state and federal) went up 13% this year (unforeseen) and have gone up a total of 35% since 2009. Prior to that they went down from 2 to 10% each year. Luckily, I’m in that favored “middle class” whose taxes would not be increased under Obama. Even luckier, I live in a sate that rhymes with Taxachusetts and wants to raise taxes even more this year.
