When you fall over a cliff, you plummet down to the bottom and disappear in a puff of smoke as anybody who watched Wile E. Coyote knows. A crack you just step over and keep going on your way which is almost certainly what will happen at the end of the year (see also: kick the can down the road).Ron E.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-26924252114679650072012-10-11T08:48:42.025-05:002012-10-11T08:48:42.025-05:00I was explaining to my teenager last night that th...I was explaining to my teenager last night that there are some people (like her grandfather) who just hate paying taxes on principle. When taxes on the rich are high - and he was pretty wealthy - he would minimize his taxes by investing in tax shelters. Tax shelters, I told her, were often designed to benefit the community.
