Analysis Deficit - As I've always said, the numbers being bandied about to describe the size of the tax cut are bogus, fabricated out of thin air with no foundation in reality. They claim that lower tax rates cost the government money; when the truth is that lower rates generate much more revenue to the Treasury.

Senate Panel Debates Dividend Tax Cut - As I predicted several months ago, the most likely outcome of the debate over taxation of dividends will be a certain nominal amount per year tax free per person; similar to the $100 per year of tax free dividends that was part of the tax law in the 1970s, when I started in the tax business. That satisfies the requirements of the DemonRats; a tiny tax break for small investors and not enough incentive to motivate corporations to make the huge dividend payments that would stimulate the economy.
