IN one country (Japan I think) they list the highest tax payers outside the local tax office. It is considered an honour to be listed there. That is certainly an interesting attitude. IN my country it is considered an honour to pay the least tax legally possible and I doubt many places are different. But then again, Japan has in times past considered murdering families and suicide dive bombing the enemy to be 'honourable' so I think I will pass on any Japanese proscription of 'honour'.

"I am in the highest tax bracket," an unidentified woman said in a November 30 MoveOn.org commercial that attacks the Obama-GOP tax-cut compromise. "We don't need the money. The country does." "No American should be forced to accept an unwanted tax cut. So, the HOT Tax would require new language on IRS tax returns: "If you believe your tax bracket is too low, please indicate the higher rate at which you prefer to be taxed. Multiply that rate by your Adjusted Gross Income. Send in that higher amount." "The HOT Tax would spare tax-cut opponents from accepting undesired tax relief. The rest of us can enjoy the lower taxes we need to pay our bills and take care of ourselves and our loved ones. Everybody wins." Send it out with the tax bills. Can't hurt. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
