Kinda interesting reading the comments.  Presumably most of the readers are Associates or Junior Partners, and all would have taken at least basic courses in tax law.  Yet, for the most part, they show an appalling lack of knowledge about how the policy prescriptions of a presidential candidate will effect their person take home pay.

Pitiful!

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

The legal profession will still (largely) be voting in favor of the politician who proposes to raise taxes.

The politicians who want to raise taxes, also want to make it easier to sue anybody for anything.

what’s paying an extra 10% in taxes compared to being able to collect 1/3 of a $250,000 judgement against some evil homeowner who’s vicious rottweiler bit a poor defenseless burglar who only wanted a DVD player and laptop.

1. Replace income tax with national sales tax.

2. pass a balanced budget ammendment.

3. Make every department and program subject ot zero based budget.

Vote for Ron Paul for president and support him because he have plans that will help increase the value of our money and create more jobs.

I agrees on down sizing govt. expanses. Even president taking vaction cost tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
