Wine-maker caught selling bizarre Hitler and Stalin themed drinks and they’re ‘big hits’
An Italian wine manufacturer is being investigated by authorities after they stocked and sold bottles of wine emblazoned with Adolf Hitler's face on them. Stunned Philadelphia lawyer Matthew Hirsch chanced upon the bottles in a small supermarket in Garda while on holiday and complained but was allegedly told by the shopkeeper they were 'part of history.' The grotesque bottles show the nazi leader in a variety of poses and salutes and include slogans like “Mein Führer”, “Sieg Heil” and “Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer”.

The Carried Interest Loophole Survives Another Political Battle
WASHINGTON — Once again, carried interest carried the day. The last-minute removal by Senate Democrats of a provision in the climate and tax legislation that would narrow what is often referred to as the “carried interest loophole” represents the latest win for the private equity and hedge fund industries. For years, those businesses have successfully lobbied to kill bills that aimed to end or limit a quirk in the tax code that allows executives to pay lower tax rates than many of their salaried employees. In recent weeks, it appeared that the benefit could be scaled back, but a last-minute intervention by Senator Kyrsten Sinema, the Arizona Democrat, eliminated what would have been a $14 billion tax increase targeting private equity. Lawmakers’ inability to address a tax break that Democrats and some Republicans have called unfair underscores the influence of lobbyists for the finance industry and how difficult it can be to change the tax code. In addition to doing away … [Read more...] about The Carried Interest Loophole Survives Another Political Battle
How a Last-Minute Lobbying Blitz Watered Down a Climate Bill Tax
WASHINGTON — An hour after Democrats released the text of their climate and tax legislation, Washington lobbyists for the private equity industry sprang into action. With a final Senate vote nearing on the major package on Sunday, a late addition would have subjected companies controlled by private investment funds to a new 15 percent corporate minimum tax in the legislation that was supposed to apply to America’s biggest corporations. But a last-minute mobilization of political muscle and direct pleas to Senator Kyrsten Sinema, the Arizona Democrat who opposes tax increases and is sympathetic to private equity, got the measure scrapped. The blitz was emblematic of the messy nature of tax policymaking and how policies meant to curb tax avoidance can spring new carve-outs on the fly. The issue stems from how private equity firms work: They typically invest in a portfolio of companies. Under the provision that was the point of contention, if the combined “book income” of … [Read more...] about How a Last-Minute Lobbying Blitz Watered Down a Climate Bill Tax
Sharing Stories, and a View, Aboard the California Zephyr
I woke up around 5 a.m. to a low but incessant rumbling. Faint hints of daylight had appeared over my fellow passengers’ heads, most of which were still bent in rest. Some people yawned; others stared intently out the window at the valley. I had been aboard the train for about 40 hours, and there was still a long way to go before our scheduled arrival in the San Francisco Bay area. Riding westbound, I walked to the back of the train to see the rising sun reflected on the tracks. We were passing through Nevada. A few minutes later we stopped in the city of Winnemucca, Nev., right in front of the Martin Hotel, which, at the end of the 19th century, catered to the Basque immigrants who’d moved there to work as shepherds. Amtrak’s California Zephyr, considered by many rail enthusiasts to be among the most scenic long-distance train routes in the United States, operates between Chicago and Emeryville, Calif., near Oakland. The entire route takes some 52 hours and includes 33 … [Read more...] about Sharing Stories, and a View, Aboard the California Zephyr
Tax and climate bill could massively expand IRS union, which almost exclusively donates to Democrats
close Video White House economic adviser admits IRS hires will target tax evasion, not ‘avoidance’ White House Council of Economic Advisers’ Jared Bernstein maintains that the Inflation Reduction Act’s funding of new IRS agents will not add audits for American households making less than $400,000 per year. NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles! The funding increase for the IRS to hire potentially tens of thousands of new agents may be a big boost to the union representing Treasury Department employees, a group that is active in politics and donates almost exclusively to Democratic politicians . The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), which claims to represent about 70,000 IRS employees, has "strongly endorsed" the climate and tax bill called the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which could allow the federal tax collecting agency to hire nearly 87,000 employees over the next decade. Many of the new employees could join the … [Read more...] about Tax and climate bill could massively expand IRS union, which almost exclusively donates to Democrats
