AAPG Position: Tax Reform
tax reform. The American Association of Petroleum Geologists, an international organization, Policy Statement on tax reform Issues Ð US Members
http://dpa.aapg.org/gac/papers/taxref.cfm

Extractions: Tax Reform The American Association of Petroleum Geologists, an international organization, supports policies of all countries which serve to encourage petroleum exploration and development within and outside their boundaries. Economies throughout the world are greatly dependent on abundant supplies of petroleum at reasonable cost, and policies which serve to find and produce petroleum anywhere in the world, in the larger sense, benefit all the peoples of the world. Petroleum exploration and production are extremely capital intensive and the role of taxation is very important to the development of oil and gas resources throughout the world. Taxes of any type, by any authority, imposed on any entity engaged in the activities of petroleum exploration and production, act to impede by some measure the efficacy of those efforts. The American Association of Petroleum Geologists is comprised of members of many countries. While recognizing the legitimate right and need of all nations to impose and collect taxes in order to finance governmental operations, we affirm the efforts of all members to establish fairer and more equitable petroleum tax policies of their respective governments.
Reviewjournal.com -- News: Backing For Tax Reform Strong
Daily news section of the Las Vegas ReviewJournal. Nevada s largest newspaper.
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2005/May-19-Thu-2005/news/26550974.html

Extractions: CARSON CITY Six of 10 Nevadans in a Review-Journal and reviewjournal.com poll say they support the Legislature's property tax reform measure that significantly reduced their bills. But an even larger number of poll respondents say they would still vote for a Proposition 13-style constitutional amendment restricting property tax bill increases even further. Twenty percent were opposed and 12 percent undecided. The strong support for a Proposition 13-style measure in Nevada came despite the favorable reaction to the Legislature's effort, which limited property tax bill increases to 3 percent for most homeowners and 8 percent for most other property owners in Clark County. Although 60 percent approved of the solution, 30 percent said they were dissatisfied and 10 percent were unsure. The poll of 625 registered voters, taken Thursday through Saturday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
The Myth Of Tax Harmonisation By Kitty Ussher
Leaflet from the proEuropean Centre for European reform arguing that tax harmonisation is not an aim of the European Union.
http://www.cer.org.uk/articles/n_4_4.html

Extractions: There are no plans to harmonise European Union rates of VAT, income tax or company tax. Yet the inhabitants of Britain could be forgiven for thinking precisely the opposite. At the end of last year a large section of the British press claimed that Oskar Lafontaine, Germany's ebullient finance minister, was plotting to make the British pay more tax. Mr Lafontaine loves to provoke, but there was little substance to support the fantasies of many Eurosceptic commentators. Tax issues, of course, are discussed at a European level. The Commission has come up with a three-pronged package that finance ministers are supposed to sort out before the Helsinki summit in December 1999. But the point of this package is to smooth discrepancies in the workings of the single market, rather than impose single rates of tax. The first part involves tackling unfair competition in company taxation. For instance the preferential tax treatment that Ireland has applied to certain types of company and geographical area, in effect disguised state aid, would count as unfair tax competition. A working group chaired by a British minister, Dawn Primarolo, is examining more than 80 such cases. The plan is to deal with examples of unfair competition through discussion and peer-group pressure rather than EU directives. The second part aims to abolish tax on cross-border payments of interest and royalties between associated companies, thereby saving them much paper work. The third and most contentious part is a proposed directive on the taxation of savings which seeks to prevent cross-border tax evasion by individuals. The Commission wants member-states to agree either to impose a 20% witholding tax on income earned by non-resident individuals, or to pass full details of their earnings to their home tax authority. Britain will not sign up to this directive unless income from Eurobonds is exempt. Otherwise, ministers fear, the City of London could lose business both from the cost of compliance with the directive, and from investors shifting business out of the EU to avoid the tax.

Extractions: Association Health Plans would help small business expand coverage for workers BOSTON - By permitting small businesses to purchase insurance through association health plans, the Commonwealth could reduce the number of uninsured persons by almost 25,000 and get more than 4,000 firms to offer insurance to their employees. Recognizing the high cost of health insurance and other challenges facing small businesses, a number of states, including Washington, California and Connecticut, permit small businesses to form purchasing pools. However, Massachusetts currently prohibits the formation of purchasing pools. As a result, small firms may pay on average 13% more than large firms for health insurance. By permitting small firms to join an AHP, the state would help close this gap and expand health care coverage. MORE Complete Study in PDF HOT OFF THE PRESS!

Extractions: Spending Storm By Grace-Marie Turner Hurricane Katrina has created a spending storm on Capitol Hill, with intense battles over how to deliver aid that reflect basic differences in political philosophy. Traditionalists would increase spending on existing programs - which already is happening big time - but others would create new incentives by lowering taxes, getting government regulation out of the way, and empowering people to make their own choices through vouchers and credits. Sep. 16, 2005 2:52 PM Consumer Directed Health Care (CDHC) is Growing Rapidly in America By Grace-Marie Turner The American health insurance marketplace is being transformed by the move toward consumerism, with patients seeking more control over their health care spending and treatment options. This is precipitating many changes in the medical profession - some welcome, some not. Sep. 14, 2005 3:22 PM Consumerism in Health Care: Early Evidence is Positive By Grace-Marie Turner As more Americans move into consumer-directed health plans, more and more studies are being produced that report on early experience with these plans. We have released a paper that summarizes some of the newest studies of these products, including Health Savings Accounts and Health Reimbursement Arrangements, which offer new incentives for consumers to help manage their health care and health costs. The bottom line: Consumerism is working in these plans.
NCPA - BG #145 - The Marriage Penalty
Suggesting that 'marriage penalty' reform would unnecessarily complicate the tax code. From the National Center for Policy Analysis.
http://www.ncpa.org/bg/bg145/bg145b.html

Extractions: The Marriage Penalty February 9, 1998 "A flat tax or national retail sales tax would be a better solution than more tinkering with the Tax Code." It is not necessary to completely abandon the family as the basic unit of taxation in order to eliminate the marriage penalty. It would only require allowing couples the choice of filing as singles or jointly. This would preserve marriage bonuses for single-earner couples but eliminate the marriage penalty for two-earner couples. However, Congress would also have to pass rules about dividing joint income, such as interest and dividends, and allocating itemized deductions, such as for mortgage interest and dependents. The major objections to the choice approach are complexity, cost and abandonment of the principle that couples with the same income should pay similar taxes. It would be complex because many couples would, in effect, have to do their taxes twice: first jointly and then as singles to see which way they would come out ahead. Also, whatever rules are adopted for allocating joint income and deductions are bound to be complicated. Allowing couples to choose their filing status also would be costly. According to the CBO, doing so would have reduced federal revenues by $29 billion in 1996.

Choosing freedom and personal responsibility will make America better. TEN REFORMS: 1. A Nation Needs Borders. 7. Bureaucratic and Judicial Accountability 2. Equal Opportunity in Education. 8. Victims Have Rights. ... VISIT THE WEBLOG Reform #1. Secure Borders are a Pre-Requisite for Freedom. Immigration Control has become America's #1 Priority. 9-11 has underscored our government's criminal mismanagement of border security, failing its most basic duty. Some would say protection of its citizens is the only legitimate duty of government. Without secure borders, all talk of other "reforms" to apprehend terrorists is meaningless. True reform begins with the apprehension and removal of all illegals. There can be no talk of amnesty for those who trample on our laws on their way across the border. Government's overwhelming concern for political correctness and the "rights" of non-citizens has rendered it incapable of protecting the interests of its citizens.

Yours To Reform In Ontario Petition

http://www.petitiononline.com/ont0ref4/

Extractions: Yours to Reform in Ontario View Current Signatures Sign the Petition To: People of the Province of Ontario Whereas the Government of Ontario and its past Big Three governing parties of New Democrat, Progressive Conservative and Liberal special interest agendas have continued the many decades of overspending and mismanagement and are responsible for the crisis we find ourselves in today. Now is the time to open our eyes to a fresh new vision of what our province can be. The old vision, held by the NDP, PC and Liberal status quo establishment parties, revolves around big government and the high taxes that go with it. It is a worn out vision which has us working more than half the year just to pay our tax bill. And it is a vision which trivializes our sense of ourselves by implying that we can only hold this province together through government programs, government spending and government propaganda; and Whereas the Government of Ontario and its past Big Three governing parties of New Democrat, Progressive Conservative and Liberal special interest agendas had refused to bring forward Tax Reform by providing growth, opportunity, and jobs for Ontarians through lower taxes, smaller government, and a balanced budget; and Whereas the Government of Ontario and its past Big Three governing parties of New Democrat, Progressive Conservative and Liberal special interest agendas had refused to bring forward Fiscal Reform by presenting family friendly policies that support the growth and development of families, including fairer tax provisions for parents; and

Extractions: Help WASHINGTON (April 13) There are plenty of tax code proposals floating around Capitol Hill, but all of them focus on two central ideas: fairness and simplicity. Suggested changes range from completely abolishing the IRS and the income tax to creating a flat tax with no deductions. Some consider both these proposals too regressive and have proposed a graduated flat tax that takes into account income levels when determining tax rates. (That is to say, the higher your income, the higher your tax rate.)
