Okay, today is going to be different from any other Wacky Wednesday. I got to thinking about taxes, and I realized that there were a lot of issues here I wanted to discuss. However, it just didn’t seem to break down into the two big issues the way we would normally do a Wacky Wednesday. Instead, there are actually several big areas worth talking about today:
~Income taxes
~Payroll taxes (Social Security/Medicare)
~Property Taxes
~Sales Taxes
~Inheritance Taxes
Since I am opposed in principle to all of these (in varying degrees) as they currently exist, I will actually be articulating the arguments against the status quo. The challenge is to see whether you can even articulate the defense of these practices as they currently exist. As we complete one subject, we’ll move on to the next one, which is going to be a very different structure from our normal practice on Wednesday.
