If the Romney returns are released and if they bring out embarrassing revelations early on, this could cause Republicans to reject Romney as the strongest candidate to pit against Obama in November’s election. Romney’s campaign has seemingly and wisely decided to put off any tax info revelations until after the selection of the party’s front running candidate.

One conservative news outlet had this to say about the whole affair: “It is critical that Romney release his tax records now, that voters might ‘take a look and decide if we’ve got a flawed candidate,’” they said. “We know that should Romney become the nominee, he will be criticized over the sources of his wealth and will have to effectively respond. Republican primary voters deserve to see whether he can do so before they vote.”

Newt Gingrich in the meantime appears to have found new wind in his sails. Also this morning it should be noted that last week, Romney appeared to have won the New Hampshire Primary election but after recounts, it was actually Rick Santorum who received the most votes from reporting precincts.  This could be a setback for the Romney campaign.  With only a few days left before South Carolina’s primary, we’re playing a game of wait and see.

That’s right, now you can have your taxes prepared for free, as long as it is the simple tax return, at a Wal-Mart near you.  All types of people are eager to have their taxes prepared right there on the spot.  I talked with a friend who is a Wal-Mart lover, here’s what he had to say, “The second I get my W-2 you can bet I’ll be in New York direct at Wal-Mart.”

So, clearly this is a good move on Wal-Mart’s part.  What do you think of the chain getting involved in the tax industry?

You have likely seen many well-known celebrities supporting Occupy Wall Street. The only place where protesters were not peaceful was in Rome, Italy were anarchists began destroying properties.

Big business, the Federal Reserve, corporations, and banks are the enemy to these protesters. What are you opinions of both the protesters and their ideas? Watch the video below that shows some of the footage of what is going on around the world during these occupy protests.

While it’s hard to so what the answer to this disaster might be, especially with the Obama administration floundering for solutions to the jobs crisis in the United States in an obvious  eleventh hour bid to win support that could help Obama win re-election in 2012, there are some viable options.  One that has been suggested by sensible economists and business professionals in the GOP is the implementation of a Fair Tax system for the people of the United States.  More specifically, GOP Florida straw poll winner Herman Cain has what he calls his 9-9-9 Plan to throw out the entire existing tax code and establish a flat tax system that he says could turn our deficit into a profit.

Here is an infographic showing what some other wealthy countries do as far as taxing their citizens.  What do you think?  Any solutions?  Feel free to leave us a comment.

We can say that the way the watch was long and arduous, there is now difficult to conceive of their meaning by the simple fact that we get to know the time is marked free in every corner of the planet. If we go back a little in history must be considered that not even light enjoyed and have a watch for yourself was something magical was available to very few people.

The men’s watch industry is booming in the years 40 (many claim that his birth occurred in 1905 of hand Rolex), and from there these tiny time machines evolved to today.

Abraham was also the Swiss Breguet who invented what is called modern watchmaking, his style remains until today for more technological advances that have arisen.

Later in the 80, the union of Swiss watchmakers joined to deliver the brand Swatch, a watch man (originally) made of plastic but with technological innovation that changed the perception of these devices completely. Quartz movement, water resistance to 30 meters, high shock resistance and low cost design, this was Swatch.

We always advise our readers to start preparing for the next tax day on April 16. That’s right. One day after your taxes are due. Why is that? Well, let’s talk about the advantages:

• You just finished up your taxes, so the “should haves” and “could haves” are still fresh. Did you forget to save some receipts that could’ve saved you big money? Could you have donated more to charity? Did you donate to charity and forget to save your receipts? Start making a plan now for next year.
• Get organized now. Where are you going to put receipts? What are you going to save to make next tax day a little easier.
• Think ahead. Did something change drastically this year? Are you going to owe more money next year? If so, now is a great time to set aside your tax refund for next year.

With our county in debt up to our eyes balls, I’m sure we are all wondering how in the heck are we going to get ahead again? Unfortunately, even when it wasn’t our choices, but the choices of our politicians that have put us into this situation, it will be our money that will have to pay off this debt. Alas, we are a country that is in it together no matter what. We have to work together and stop placing blame. We need to pay our taxes, and be good citizens. Right?

Maybe. But that’s not the way it’s going thus far. As the above infographic from Mint.com shows, of the 151,485,535 tax units, only 80,438,535 are paying off a debt of $1 trillion. Um. What?

Here at TalkingTaxes.com, we’re curious how our readers feel about this. Is this acceptable? How should we fix this? Should we fix it? How are we going to get our country out of debt, and return to our former glory days?

The recent flood of internet scams and hacking into large corporate databases such as CitiBank (by hacking association Anonymous), Sony (Anonymous splinter group LulzSec), RSA Security, the Arizona Defense Bureau, Lockheed Martin, and more is only encouraging the push towards full implementation of Secure DNS technology. This breakthrough security innovation, however, is viewed as highly controversial technology. Having IP addresses linked to names leads to a host of bad potential, such as being able to track anyone in the world wherever and whenever they are online in an era where being online and connected is increasingly essential to day to day life. While Secure DNS makes it possible to do business online with greater ease, talk through voice-over Internet protocol without fear of being eavesdropped, greater security in online banking, and much much more in regards to secure communication, governments and Internet service providers have to be on board first. And when you start thinking about the government being on board with a system with the greatest access to your location, communications, and other social and basic online activities, it becomes obvious how highly regulated this system would have to be. Could there be any way for a private citizen to ensure that their every move isn’t being watched by a certain agency?

This system will be used to ensure “trusted identities” in cyberspace for federal capacities and is looking to expand the securities technology market, making current services more widely available, further reducing the rate of hacking and computer crimes. But who knows who will have access to such enormous amounts of sensitive information, and what will be risked to gain access to it.

On the other hand, however, New York State courts issued is ruling stating that the finality of business transactions is root for serious concern. Divorce settlements are final, and ex-wives were entitled to a final settlement, and as innocent recipients, they cannot be forced to pay back stolen money, just as a legitimate service provider who entered into a contract with a thief could not be forced to repay stolen money to his client’s victims. Another analogy is that an architect who built a home for a bank robber would not have to pay the bank back any remuneration he received for his services.

Many divorce lawyers (minus the cheesy court shows on Direct TV HD channels) on the other side of the fence, however, question New York’s emphasis on the finality of divorce proceedings as being too strongly favored in public policy. Judge Victoria Graffeo of the New York State Court of Public Appeals disagrees with their line of questioning; in the court’s ruling favoring Janet Schaberg, ex-wife of defrauder Stephen Walsh, Graffeo argues that “Ex-spouses have a reasonable expectation that once their marriage has been dissolved and their property divided, they will be free to move on with their lives.”

On the other hand, however, certain issues such as child-care and custody are allowed to be revisited after divorce proceedings, when new facts arise. So if we compare property stolen to live children, divorce proceedings could then be revisited and re-negotiated and settlements altered. But then the problematic infinite regress arises: if we can revisit finalized court proceedings concerning property matters “after new evidence arises,” then in how many other areas concerning agreements other than divorce settlements will be affected? Will people have a way to finalize a divorce without fear of having to go through the whole experience again somewhere down the line? When a child is concerned, the long-term livelihood for a human being is at stake. So the question becomes, concerning the billions of dollars lost in Ponzi schemes, including the life-savings of many hard-working Americans, how much money does it take for it the amount lost to amount to your long-term livelihood? I believe that number is different for everyone, and impossible to legislate.
