12h ago31:07

31:07

Kamala Harris has picked up on Donald Trump’s idea of exempting tips from the income tax.

14d ago30:10

30:10

Over the years, the IRS has been described in a number of different ways. Kind, understanding and co-operative are not on the list. Instead, you’ll hear words like unreasonable, vicious, malicious, high-handed and vindictive.

Moms’ Equal Pay Day is not a day to celebrate, it’s a day to activate!

28d ago29:07

29:07

Since the FAIRtax was introduced into Congress in 1999, one thing has remained consistent.

The income tax is ridiculously easy to evade. The latest estimates say that illegal tax evasion costs the government around $1 trillion a year.
