Show Taxes f Why all this talk on tax reform or unlimited authority in collecting and fixing taxes? This trouble started in the days of Moses. Why depreciate the automobile value so much when we never reduce or depreciate de-preciate the old log or adobe shack? Just try to cut out a log and let in more light and fresh air; put in a few old nails, a little white mud to keep the birds from nesting with the other kids, and your next yeas taxes will go up just the size or the hole, though the shack may be a hundred years old. An automobile after six years is tax free. Both are in use and used for the same purpose: to pass time until the undertaker arrives. But the home is the luxury and the auto a necessity. Why the difference? Which can we get along without? Adjust these differences. But don't let the tail wag the dog as is now done in this regard. Roger Bill. |
