Most of what government calls investment is really spending. Does anyone want to bet that the government will ever recover this “investment”, except in dollars worth less than today’s penny?

Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

Comment on Tax Reform Bumps Into More Political Reality by Michael Bindner

Michael Bindner — Sun, 16 Jun 2013 03:35:40 +0000

There are two reasons for tax reform. The first is to actually do some good for the economy by putting more money in the hands of families by including a more robust child tax credit at the cost of keeping the mortgage and property tax deductions (and to make it simpler to get this credit, possibly through payroll rather than filing an individual return). The second reason is to find a way to engineer a repatriation period for overseas corporate profits. Now that the tax on dividends is virtually 25%, this is likely a winner for the deficit. The business community is dying to do this and I suspect that, even if Hill and Treasury staff aren’t working on language, K Street certainly is.

Comment on What Changes in the Mortgage Deduction Would Mean for Home Prices by PC

PC — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 07:52:16 +0000

These proposals and studies usually evaluate potential limits on mortgage or closing deductions from the standpoint of limits determined by household income. But do these studies adequately take account of the dramatic (e.g. sometimes fourfold) difference between costs of identical housing at different cities across the nation? A household in one city may have to make a much larger mortgage payment for exactly the property as in another city. Like many other government benefits, shouldn’t the limitation on deduction take account of regional/local differences in the cost of housing?

Comment on The President’s Plan to Cap Retirement Saving Benefits by PC

PC — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 07:22:08 +0000

Four issues with the President’s proposal.
1. Regardless of the specific equity which triggers the cap, it is a frightening breach of the IRA contract to come along and change the terms of the IRA after the fact. Consider the case of people who have contributed to ROTH IRA’s, having made a larger up-front tax payment, in return for the promise that the equity is theirs to grow for retirement tax free. How can anyone justify changing their contract after those people have paid their share up-front, at higher front tax rates, in exchange for the promised no-tax terms of the ROTH IRA?
2. Simple investment arithmetic shows the fallacy of the President’s cap: investment returns oscillate with years of gains and years of losses. Under the President’s proposal, a gain exceeding the cap is siphoned off through taxation. Then when a subsequent investment loss occurs on the equity left after taxation, the balance of the account will be reduced significantly below the prior balance. With some cycles of compounded years of gains and years of losses, the retirement equity in the account gets “destroyed” well below the cap, because gains and losses cannot receive equal tax treatment under the cap/tax plan. Hence the plan is an “account destroyer”.
3. The plan dictates how much a person needs in retirement, without taking into account the gender difference for mean lifespan, so the plan forces women to budget a reduced retirement compared with men. Further, through marriage, a retirement account can apply to a single person or to a couple; and the plan can be transferred to apply to a surviving spouse who is a man, or a surviving spouse who is a woman. And the plan can need to take care of a long-lifespan, surviving offspring who in some cases cannot take care of himself. How can the government fairly dictate what is appropriate for all these circumstances which change with spouse and family situation over time?
4. The sheer concept of government determining what is appropriate for a person’s retirement hopes and lifestyle is deeply offensive.

Finally, it is offensive that some people cite partial justification that this tax would apply to only a small percentage of the population. This concept and tax is either fair or unfair; and if unfair, then it does not matter how small the number of people subjected to it.

Such a controversial and touchy topic, but one that must be discussed no matter how uncomfortable it is. I see both sides of the argument and share some of the feelings and opinions with both sides. I guess that’s fine since I have no say, so I’ll just sit back and see how it plays out like everyone else

[...] –Joint Tax Filinh: Howard Gleckman wonders whether joint tax filing’s time has passed. “Yale tax law professor Anne Alstott has me wondering whether the entire debate over the tax consequences of the Defense of Marriage Act is missing the point. In an upcoming paper for Yale’s Tax Law Review, she argues that it makes little sense to tie the Revenue Code so closely to formal marriage when so many people are in very different family relationships than they were even 40 years ago. As Alstott notes, nearly half of American adults are now unmarried, 40 percent of children are born to unmarried parents, and labor force participation among married women is now very close to that of married men (thanks to the always-helpful Paul Caron at TaxProf blog for tipping me off to her paper). Ozzie and Harriet have been in reruns for half-a-century. So why even bother with the concept of joint tax filing? Alstott borrows from Johns Hopkins University sociologist Andrew Cherlin, who calls the trend away from formal marriage “new individualism.” This, she says, “has rendered obsolete legal doctrines and policy analyses that treat formal marriage as a proxy for family life….Joint filing is no longer well-tailored to serve important social objectives.” And, she adds, this argument applies whether one is a liberal who embraces the new individualism or a conservative who is offended by it. Reframing the tax treatment of families in this way will help solve some problems and create some new ones. And Alstott isn’t so much arguing for a specific alternative to joint filing as urging tax wonks to consider the law in the context of social change.” [...]

“I believe that individual filing would require a formal constitutional amendment allowing the federal government to disregard state laws on who owns whose earnings.”

Which constitutional provision would prohibit the federal government from amending the Code to disregard community property laws for purposes of taxing earnings? Substantive due process? It appears to me that the federal government could do so, at least as regards income from employment and self-employment. Taxing investment income is a much more difficult practical problem but that is one that is already faced today with persons who have close enough personal relationships to shift income from one to the other, subject only to the constraints of the gift tax (not currently an issue for married couples who do not live in community property states).

Poe v. Seaborn, 282 U.S. 101 (1930) held that the federal government should respect state community property law; however, the decision was based on the wording of the Code and not on any constitutional provision.

Alstott underestimates the difficulty of conformance with the reality of community property laws. In those states it’s a fact that each spouse owns half the earnings of the other spouse. Absent a change in state law, income splitting is accurate no matter what federal law says.

I give credit to Alstott for squarely addressing the community issue. Most authors who advocate single filing sweep this issue under the rug.

I believe that individual filing would require a formal constitutional amendment allowing the federal government to disregard state laws on who owns whose earnings. Given how far the country has gone toward central government, it might be time for another amendment abolishing state governments as no longer worth their cost.

But, again, if parental leave benefits are going to be progressive (you get more paid benefit the lower your income and taxes you pay), there needs to be a capital/property-earner tax to support it or this will backfire into more problems.

Of course, I am oversimplifying things by stating the choice as 2-earner/2-parent v. nonparent earner/nonearner parent. There is also intermediate ground, of 2-earner/1-parent, for example. There are externalities to this choice which can also be internalized, for example, by adding a “use-it-or-lose it” FMLA paid benefit on birth/adoption of a child. People who have children who then chose not to function as parents would forfeit their benefit, which would increase the money going to those who do use it.
