TAX PROTESTORS AND PENALTIES: ENSURING PERCEIVED FAIRNESS AND MITIGATING SYSTEMIC COSTS |
2005 Brigham Young University Law Review 1515 (2005) |
For voluntary self-assessment to be both meaningful and productive of revenues, the citizens must not only have confidence in the fairness of the tax laws, but also in the uniform and vigorous enforcement of these laws. Each year hundreds of thousands of taxpayers use abusive schemes to avoid paying some or all of their federal income taxes. Tax... |

THE ABOLITION OF WEALTH TRANSFER TAXES: LESSONS FROM CANADA, AUSTRALIA, AND NEW ZEALAND |
3 Pittsburgh Tax Review 71 (Fall, 2005) |
When the U.S. Congress voted to phase-out the federal estate tax by 2010 and President Bush signed the legislation in June 2001, the United States joined a small but growing number of developed countries in which taxes on the transfer of wealth have been abolished. In Canada, federal gift and estate taxes were repealed in 1972 and provincial wealth... |

THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF BANKRUPTCY REFORM: A PROPOSAL TO IMPROVE THE TREATMENT OF SUPPORT CREDITORS |
115 Yale Law Journal 247 (10/1/2005) |
Amid the controversy surrounding the recently enacted Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (2005 Act), few commentators have focused on the Act's provisions designed to enhance the protection of support creditors--a class of creditors consisting mostly of divorcees and single mothers who are owed child support, alimony,... |

TUNING UP THE MOTOR CITY: THE VIABILITY OF RESTRUCTURING DETROIT'S OPPRESSIVE PROPERTY TAX SYSTEM WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF MICHIGAN'S CONSTITUTION |
51 Wayne Law Review 1309 (Fall, 2005) |
Detroit, once one of the great beacons of American industrialism, culture, and society, has, over the last half-century, decayed into the prototypical American urban prairie. As the city's steady decline continues, and in the face of a budget crisis, the need for action to revitalize Detroit becomes more critical. One avenue of relief is through... |

Economic empowerment is the civil rights of today. The only thing most working-class people have to pass on to their children is a house. We have to understand the importance of building wealth. Whiteness has monetary value. Knowing the origin and nature of the value of race is essential in any analysis of Black America's dilemma. Modern... |

"TAX AND RACE: THE IMPACT ON ASIAN AMERICANS" |

Articles about tax law often begin by invoking Benjamin Franklin's famous phrase: In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes. As the Internal Revenue Code (hereinafter Code) increases in complexity, the certainty of taxes seems more and more illusory. For many taxpayers, taxes are more unpredictable than certain. Continued changes add... |

The core of procedure theory is that bankruptcy law exists in order to maximize the recoveries for holders of legal entitlements (rightsholders) in respect of a financially distressed debtor. Bankruptcy law in the United States is a branch of civil procedure and... |

AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THE ROLE OF THE LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROGRAM: A CONTEMPORARY ASSESSMENT |
57 Tax Lawyer 869 (Summer, 2004) |
A home is certainly more than a shelter. A home is the nexus of an individual and his family's life. It is the haven from which one goes forth to seek his fortune and to which he retreats from daily strife. Good housing is not a guarantor of good citizenship, success in life, or economic achievement. Yet good housing has valuable social and... |

It is somewhat of an understatement to say that overweight and obese people are presently unpopular in our culture.

Moreover, in today's day and age - where bankruptcy is used as much as a strategic tool as it is a death sentence - a minimal understanding of bankruptcy is... |
