Fiscal Cliff Causing Flurry of Tax Moves

by Bob Adelmann | 8:01 am, November 6, 2012

The ideal, of course, is a zero tax bracket, with government so small that it would be adequately funded, as it was prior to 1913, with tariffs. Back then government spending stayed within its means and within the confines of the Constitution.
