It may amuse you to know what the "Replacement Tax" is.<br /><br />Illinois had a "Personal Property" tax which was levied on the values of all the things a person used to conduct his business.<br /><br />Somebody sued, claiming the tax was unequal because, while a paving contractor might have to have large amounts of money tied up in front loaders and bulldozers, an attorney (ahem) could conduct his business with nothing more than a set of law books and a typewriter.<br /><br />The judge upheld the suit.<br /><br />So Illinois passed the "Replacement Tax."<br /><br />A reporter finally asked someone what the "Replacement Tax" was. He replied that it was a replacement for the tax that was ruled unconstitutional.Nolanimrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185001749663834953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-67519325325668692782011-01-08T16:59:25.075-05:002011-01-08T16:59:25.075-05:00This is the reason that I strongly support the imp...This is the reason that I strongly support the impending tax and regulatory increases in California.<br /><br />I live in Nevada.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-38322395314341629522011-01-08T15:55:36.759-05:002011-01-08T15:55:36.759-05:00I'm going to count down the days before the De...I'm going to count down the days before the Dem's introduct a law to prevent "social dumping" to harmonize tax rates in the states, like in Eursoc.<br /><br />Nothing a Progressive hates more than competition.pashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715136443619581501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-24508845708470147742011-01-08T12:18:52.315-05:002011-01-08T12:18:52.315-05:00With a newly elected governor, and Republican sena...With a newly elected governor, and Republican senate and house, Micigan will be joining the lower tax party.
