Let's imagine an alternate universe. The U.S. government is running a large and growing deficit. Not far down the road it faces huge increases in Social Security and Medicare costs. Naturally, the candidates for president want to remedy this by raising revenue. They don't want us to bequeath bigger deficits to our children, or stake our future on foreigners' willingness to keep lending us money. ...

The Tax and Budget Team of Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families addressed a group at the Delta Area Health Education Center concerning the state and federal Tax System and its impact on low and middle-income families at a Kids Count Coalition regional meeting. Ginny Blankenship, research and fiscal policy director, said that the Tax System is unfair and unbalanced and puts stress on Arkansas families already at risk. Middle and low-income families already pay more in taxes than upper income families. According to the AACF, upper middle-income families pay 6 percent on every dollar spent in taxes while lower and middle-income families pay 12 percent. Blankenship said that Arkansas has the highest sales Tax burden in the country and it hurts lower income families and small businesses. “The keys to a good Tax System is that it is balanced, promotes economic growth, is easy to administer and is accountable, provides adequate revenue and is fair and equitable,” said Blankenship. Large corporations receive more favorable treatment under the current Tax System, which leaves small businesses at a competitive disadvantage, explained Blankenship. The presentation included the topic of Arkansas’s “highly regressive” Tax structure, which the AACF says affects the state’s lower income families even more. A “proportional Tax System” shares the Tax burden equally among all families and a “progressive Tax System” has lower income familie ...

The Liberal Democrats have revealed that it wants to introduce a series of CANADA'S HEALTH CARE System -- POOR VALUE FOR YOUR Tax DOLLARS

Source: www.ncpa.org --- 22 days ago
Canada's taxpayers are not receiving the same sort of value that their counterparts in other nations are when it comes to universally accessible health care insurance, says Nadeem Esmail, of the Fraser Institute.  For example: Canada has the third most-expensive universal access health insurance System; only Iceland and Switzerland spend more as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) on their universal access health insurance systems than Canada did. In 2007, waiting lists for access to health care in Canada reached a new all-time high of 18.3 weeks from a general practitioner referral to treatment by a specialist; this wait time is 54 percent longer than the overall wait time of 11.9 weeks back in 1997. The number of Canadians without a regular physician is estimated to be around 5 million. The journal "Health Affairs" recently published a study of six universal access nations, which found: Canadians were more likely to experience waiting times of more than six months for elective surgery than Australians, German, the Dutch, and New Zealanders, but slightly less likely than patients in the United Kingdom. Canadians were least likely to wait less than one month for elective surgery. Canadians were the most likely to wait six days or longer to see a doctor when ill, and were least likely to receive an appointment the same day or the next day. Access to medical technologies is also relatively poor in Canada: Canada ranked 13th ...

Speaking today, Saunders said: "It is an open secret in the funds world that if you want to launch a new product you don't base it in the UK and that is for Tax reasons. This is not to minimise or avoid your own taxes, but to avoid complexity and to reduce the risk of your client being exposed to an unexpected and unjustified hit.” The IMA head called for a Tax-exempt regime for UK authorised funds and legislation to assure that funds are treated as investment vehicles rather than products traded for Tax purposes. He also proposed the abolition of Schedule 19 stamp duty reserve Tax on fund units and the removal of the 10 per cent limit on single investors in qualified investor schemes. He said: We need a regime that does not work to the disadvantage of the UK and encourage business to move offshore. At a time of economic slowdown and a growing public sector deficit, that is simple good sense. I believe the goodwill exists in the Treasury to address these issues with the seriousness they deserve. The next few weeks and months will show if my optimism is right." ...
