Farmers Property Tax Breaks Gone Awry

Ron,

Thanks for the article.

Once again it proves special interest laws helps no one - but the

politicians - when it comes to tax breaks!

Special interest tax breaks help the targeted tax group (or those who
get in using loopholes) pay lower taxes. This is all to the good,
since tax breaks reduce revenue to the govt--not to mention that
taxation is theft!

Ron Paul uses special interest tax breaks for oppressed constituencies
to great effect.

Dear Dr. Mike;

Very true. However, as the article pointed out the politicians who created the special interest tax breaks for farmers have gone and retroactively charged back-taxes to the developers and the corporations who took advantage of the farmers tax breaks. So once again the only ones coming out ahead are the moron politicians who instead of cutting programs and spending supported by taking from the taxpayers just went on a new taking program to continue their wasteful ways.

On a special note the Citizens Against Government Waste are issuing their updated " PIG BOOK " covering the latest in improper or unnecessary expenditures. Congress is spending some $23 Billion on some 10,700 dubious projects. It's $5.00 and the order number is 1 - 800 - 232 - 6479.
