Need to do some background research on this will check Ernst & Young's site or call my sister who worked for Ernst & Young.... that's why I qualified my statement.... Regardless the bottom line of my arguments is that the tax system is too damn complicated regarding options or otherwise with too many ways to work around having to pay what are the bracketed rates so the actual rates are much much lower for supposedly high taxed individuals. Simplification wouldn't necessarily help me, since I benefit from many of those deductions (depreciation is especially sweet), but would be more equitable. Simplifications wouldn't only make accountants less burdened but would put a lot of lobbyists out of work, especally since that's what many lobbyists are in Washington DC doing....trying to get preferential tax treatment. Anyone know how much Carnival Cruise lines pays in corporate taxes, with most of its operations woring out of America ports, and with most of its management employed in the states? Hint....not very much. Don't think we'll have any serious campaign finance reform or tax reform with whomever is elected... and both are inextricably linked. z
