In addition to the federal estate tax of 40 percent, some states impose an additional estate or inheritance tax. Twelve states and the District of Columbia impose an estate tax while six states have an inheritance tax. Maryland is the only state in the country to impose both.

Three states match the federal exemption level of $11.2 million. Sunday, April 15th, 2018
Key Findings Tax Freedom Day is a significant date for taxpayers and lawmakers because it represents how long Americans as a whole have to work in order to pay the nation’s tax burden. This year, Tax Freedom Day falls on April 19, 109 days into 2018. Tax Freedom Day will be three days earlier than it was in 2017, in large part due to the recent federal tax law, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which significantly lowered federal individual and corporate income taxes. In 2018, Americans will pay $3.4 trillion in federal taxes and $1.8 trillion in state and local taxes, for a total bill of $5.2 trillion, or 30 percent of the nation’s income. Americans will collectively Sunday, April 8th, 2018
By Matt | Contributor | THE POLITICAL INSIDER The Federal government wrote a $4 billion check to two American companies on Friday, and not a single publication bothered to report it. The mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac make more money per employee than any other company in America – and for the past decade, have been 100% under government control. The tale of Fannie and Freddie is a reminder that “temporary” government help is seldom temporary. The two companies initially agreed to take $187 billion in bailout funds during the financial crisis in 2008, which they’d pay back with 10% interest. The two firms returned to profitability sooner than expected from the financial crisis, so Saturday, March 31st, 2018
In order to get what they want, leftists are deliberately crashing the entire system to create chaos. By Arnold Ahlert · at The Patriot Post/ https://patriotpost.us/articles/54900-americas-cloward-piven-approach-to-illegal-immigration In 1966, Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven formulated the Cloward-Piven Strategy. It was a plan to overthrow America’s capitalist system by overloading the welfare state bureaucracy with demands that were impossible to meet, thereby precipitating a revolution. That was then. Today, there is another ongoing effort to “crash the system.” But not with welfare recipients. Instead, the foot soldiers exploited by Democrats, their media allies, and more than a few Republicans, are illegal aliens. How does one foment a revolution? First, give its foot soldiers a veneer of legitimacy. In 2013, Thursday, March 29th, 2018
Federal employees who retire before their infractions are discovered or prosecuted often are able to keep their retirement benefits. (Photo: jasastyle/Getty Images) COMMENTARY BY John York is a research assistant in the B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics at The Heritage Foundation. The firing of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe days before his retirement was a rare case of justice. Both the Justice Department inspector general and the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility found that “McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor—including under oath—on multiple occasions.” Even one Democratic politician conceded that McCabe’s firing “may have been Wednesday, March 28th, 2018
Sixty-one percent of Americans oppose giving bailouts to insurers to temporarily lower premiums, according to a recent Heritage Foundation poll. (Photo: pichitstocker/Getty Images) COMMENTARY BY Mike Lee is a Republican senator from Utah. The Republican Congress that was elected to repeal Obamacare is now considering bailing it out. It shouldn’t. Earlier this month, America’s Health Insurance Plans, the lobbying arm of the health insurance industry, sent a letter to the Republican leadership demanding billions of dollars in new subsidies for Obamacare insurance policies. The letter did not mention that health insurance companies are already enjoying record high profits without Thursday, March 22nd, 2018
Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe is shown here testifying before a House Appropriations subcommittee meeting in June 2017 in Washington, DC. McCabe became acting director in May, following President Trump’s dismissal of James Comey. (Pete Marovich/Getty Teri Webster/theblaze Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe won’t lose his $1.8 million pension benefits if fellow Democrat supporters have their way. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe Friday, just two days before his retirement was set to take effect, according to published reports. Fellow Democrats rushed to McCabe’s defense, and some even offered him a job so he can still collect his pension. Wednesday, March 21st, 2018
At $88.9 trillion, the DC Swamp, it turns out, is far deeper and wider than anyone thought possible. By Jordan Candler · at The Patriot Post/https://patriotpost.us/articles/54687-the-national-debt-far-worse-than-you-realize You’ve heard the adage — if the government functioned like a home or corporation does, its balance sheet would be so convoluted and full of red ink that it would utterly fail. A person’s ability to keep a home or business afloat is entirely contingent on their financial literacy and managing proficiency. The federal government, however, is not bound by the same rules. Not only does it operate with deep and worsening deficits, but its true financial condition is disguised by shady and elusive accounting metrics. The headline national debt is nearing $21 trillion, but the truth |
