Can anyone tell me why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was left out of the list of Christian churches?

@George_A_Callas Born and bred or bandwagon?

I'm begging people to think this through beyond the simpleminded politics. Property taxes aren't perfect, but they are fundamentally better than the alternatives. https://t.co/cHADv0uMbp

Eliminating property taxes is wanted more than cutting the income tax. South Carolina is screaming for it. I'm the only one actually listening.

I find the argument for a lower rate of VAT on hospitality strange.

Most campaigns for VAT zero/reduced-rating argue that their product is an essential, disproportionately consumer by people on low incomes, and that consumers will see the benefits.

This campaign however is calling for a VAT cut for something disproportionately consumed by the better off. But, they are also arguing it isn’t progressive because producers (bars/restaurants) will capture most of the cut.

I support a Kiwi-style flat VAT rate for everything, but some VAT reduced-rates are more justifiable (e.g. food to be cooked at home) than others. This isn’t one of them.

Des nouvelles de la "régressivité" de l'impôt en France.

En 2025, 55 000 foyers au revenu supérieur à 500k, soit environ 0,13% d'entre eux, ont acquitté 15 milliards d'impot (16% du total), soit plus de 3 fois plus que leur part dans les revenus (5% du total).

And the kid who hadn't had a hit all year got a walk off double. Magic.

Very cool that it's now easier for Americans to benefit from the Panama Canal that America built and paid for

Florida voters face a major tax decision in November.

[Tax Foundation @TaxFoundation]

Every country’s mix of taxes is different, depending on factors such as its economic situation and policy goals. However, each type of tax impacts the economy differently, with some taxes being more harmful than others.

I wonder how many Americans think we should hand over 10% of our GDP to a global government so that we can then have policies like "less material consumption and changes in food habits" forced on us. Show me the polling numbers!

@wwwojtekk I worry that we have not reached peak Piketty.

🚨🚨🚨Trump has now confirmed the story I broke yesterday, says he wants “pieces” of AI companies given to US government — “we are looking into that”

[Daniel Bunn @danieldbunn]

@billyez2 @ahardtospell The US vs China dynamics could also play in here. Could US lawmakers design such a tax that would avoid giving foreign models an advantage over US ones? Esp. when both US and China compete for AI adoption in foreign countries.

[Daniel Bunn @danieldbunn]

New piece from me and @ahardtospell on taxing AI: https://t.co/IjFHdMTviN

[Daniel Bunn @danieldbunn]

@billyez2 @ahardtospell I totally agree. I don't know how you tax compute without changing the competitive dynamics. Some companies may be able to absorb the tax and become winners over companies that would falter under a compute tax (or whatever that tax looks like).
