Happy Tax Day! Unfortunately, the 16th Amendment still exists, which means everyone pays federal taxes. Today is the due date so you better get it in or else the IRS will come after you for the money they believe belongs to them.
But I digress. Remember that tax plan that passed in...
If you were thinking it would be hard for Democrats to get any worse, along comes an idea like that of Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, who thinks unrealized gains should be taxed. Wyden is no wide-eyed youngster, either. Not only is he 69 years old, but he’s the top-ranking member...
Democrats and their friends in the media have spent over two years pushing the Russian collusion narrative.
Now that the Mueller investigation is over and the Russia conspiracy is falling apart, they are already moving on to their next line of attack: Trump’s tax returns.
Sorry, Democrats, but data recently released from the IRS indicates tax refunds haven’t dwindled following Trump’s tax reform, they’re actually up by a whole 1.3% (on average).
Since its passage, Democrats have demonized the tax reform legislation, first claiming the increase in take-home pay was minimal, then suggesting companies would just keep...
Late last year, I noted that over-taxation and over-regulation have impacted the amount of tax generated from marijuana sales in California.

As we recently pointed out, Democrat hopefuls for 2020 are already trying to out-left each other on how much they want to raise taxes. Elizabeth Warren is trying to stake out new territory in that area with a proposed wealth tax.
As more Democrats declare their intention to run for president in 2020, they will be under increased pressure to distinguish themselves from the rest of the crowd.
One of the ways this is already unfolding is a competition to be the person who wants to raise taxes the...
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been a member of Congress for exactly two days, but for some reason, we’re already seeing her on TV talking about tax and energy policies. Also consider that what she’s proposing would make Bernie Sanders blush.
California regulators are among the most creative rule-makers when it comes to separating citizens from their money. Take, for instance, this amazing new proposal to tax text messages in the name of “Economic Justice.”
California regulators are considering a plan to charge a fee for text messaging on mobile phones to help...
This is funny because when Republicans added a more moderate tax on endowments like Harvard’s last year, Massachusetts Democrats opposed it.
The College Fix reports:
Harvard would pay $500 million annual endowment tax under Democratic nominee’s plan
Bipartisanship is making a comeback!
Congressional Republicans forced through a tax on big private university endowments in last...
Despite the fact that millions of their citizens are enjoying the “crumbs” of the tax cuts, including bonuses from their now prosperous companies, four states are filing lawsuits against the IRS, claiming the tax law is unconstitutional.
New York, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming last year’s tax...
I blogged last week that Seattle’s city council pulled its head tax less than a month after the members passed it after legitimate pressure from Amazon, Starbucks, and other businesses.
I detailed in my blog the trouble with unnecessary corporate taxes such as fewer new jobs and less expansion. Despite this, the...
Less than a month after they passed it, Seattle’s city council voted to repeal the corporate head tax after facing legitimate pressure from companies like Starbucks and Amazon.
The tax would have forced companies that make “more than $20 million a year pay an annual $275 tax per employee.” The council predicted...
One would think the Democratic legislature of New Jersey would be eager to pass a tax hike on millionaires now that the state has a Democratic governor. After all, they passed the hike five times during the tenure of Republican Chris Christie even though they knew he would veto it.
Gov. Phil...
California’s citizens are busy collecting signatures and submitting ballot proposals so that they can change the laws created by the Democratic Party-dominated state legislature.
Groups had been hard at work to repeal the onerous gas tax that has been in place since last November. They managed to collect enough signatures, which will...
In addition to their multiple calls for greater gun control, Democrats have found another message they believe is a winner for the 2018 midterms. They want to repeal the GOP tax cuts. They can’t stand the idea of people being allowed to keep more of their own money.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D) has proposed his first budget, and it’s loaded with new taxes and tax policy that is intended to raise approximately $1.6 billion in new tax revenue.
The tax increases are being met with mixed reactions from New Jersey Democrats; some favor the proposals, some don’t think...
