Tax Cut
A tax cut typically represents a decrease in the amount of money taken from taxpayers to go towards government revenue. This decreases the revenue of the government and increases the disposable income of taxpayers. Tax rate cuts usually refer to reductions in the percentage of tax paid on income, goods and services. As they leave consumers with more disposable income, tax cuts are an example of an expansionary fiscal policy. Tax cuts also include reduction in tax in other ways, such as tax credit, deductions and loopholes. However, sometimes a tax cut can increase tax revenue, as economist Thomas Sowell explains: :"What actually followed the cuts in tax rates in the 1920s were rising output, rising employment to produce that output, rising incomes as a result and rising tax revenues for the government because of the rising incomes, even though the tax rates had been lowered." How a tax cut affects the economy depends on which tax is cut. Policies that increase disposable inco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tax Protest
A tax protester is someone who refuses to pay a tax claiming that the tax laws are unconstitutional or otherwise invalid.

The United States has a large and organized culture of people who espouse such theories. Tax protesters also exist in other countries. Legal commentator Daniel B. Evans has defined tax protesters as people who "refuse to pay taxes or file tax returns out of a mistaken belief that the federal income tax is unconstitutional, invalid, voluntary, or otherwise does not apply to them under one of a number of bizarre arguments" (divided into several classes: Tax protester constitutional arguments, constitutional, Tax protester conspiracy arguments, conspiracy, Tax protester administrative arguments, administrative, Tax protester statutory argum ...
