Agree with you LEU. Congress couldn’t write and think through this piece of legislation so why would anyone think they can do better with say…health care. In this instance the IRS had its hands tied by the law and are at least trying to make a fair appraisal of the situation. This law should never have been written in the first place. This is a prime example of why government should never ever interfere with enterprise/markets. Nothing works from the top down, only the bottom up but politicians refuse to believe it. They are the ultimate evaders of reality.

BFD – the do-do is about to hit the fan all you business owners.

“Change You Can Believe In” – is about to destroy capitalism and free enterprise as we know it.

Jim

In addition to being an ERISA/employee benefits lawyer, I am a Director of the Small Business Council of America. I lead the SBCA task force on the listed transaction issue and the relief legislation.

I have met with tax staff of the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Committes regarding the need for the relief legislation. I will be meeting with them again when I am in Washington in early November.

The SBCA has been very active in seeking the needed legislative relief and I prepared a Position Paper which was presented to Congress with the SBCA’s legislative recommendations. You can read the position paper at — http://www.pensionlawyers.com/docs/SBCAArticle.pdf or see it on the SBCA website — http://www.sbca.net

If you need any additional information about our activities and/or the progress of the legislation, do not hesitate to email me or call me at 310 954-2178
