Updated minimum tax paper

While noteworthy things keep happening around the United States and indeed the world, I have been continuing my shelter-in-place and doing some work. I have just now posted on SSRN a revised version of my paper, What Are Minimum Taxes, and Why Might One Favor or Disfavor Them?

This version takes advantage of excellent comments that I received from several readers, and also has a new, very short intro. It also has a much shorter and more to-the-point abstract, which goes like this:

"Minimum taxes (including global minimum taxes) have serious drawbacks, and generally make sense, if at all, only if otherwise superior options must be ruled out for reasons of optics or political economy. Yet, given the “compared to what?” question that haunts all real-world tax policymaking, one cannot reasonably say that they should never be used. Still, any such use should generally be contingent, reluctant, and based on understanding their structural deficiencies."

You can find the paper here.

The simple truth about binary options which many of us do not know is the fact that it is mainly based on predictions. Without proper knowledge of what next can happen to the stock market, you are sure to lose your funds. That is why it is important to be tutored or mentored by a professional trader in binary options. During few days of being mentored by Sir Robert  I've learnt much and also succeeding in trades and has been doing successful withdrawals and was able to recover all my lost funds.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

My life was nothing without him and i tried all i could to make him cancel the divorce but he said his mind was made up and we went our separate ways. when my friend when searching for help and i was told to get in touch with DR Maxine Minty for help by an New friend of mine when she heard what i was going through and i hurriedly contacted DR Maxine Minty and explained everything to him and he told me that my husband will come back to me begging me to accept him back all within 24 hours just like everyone he had helped. DR Maxine Minty restored the love and connection between me and my husband he truly returned back to me after 24 hours and it still amazes me.

THANK YOU DR ISIKOLO COMING TO MY RESCUE AT MY WORST MOMENTS.
This appreciation comments is coming from me Lilly Benas. My husband and I have been battling marital issues for the past 6 months and little did I know the family was the brain behind the problems we ever had. The issues escalated and he eventually moved out of the house. I was alone with my daughter and life was miserable without him by my side. I did all I could to end the problems but to no avail. So I had to seek help which led me to contacting DR ISIKOLO. Just as I have always wanted, he heard my cry and came to my aid. He resolved the problems we had and my husband and I came back together and it still amazes me when I get the result in 2 days as he promised. If you are having issues with your partner, contact him now and he won't fail you as well because he is trusted and reliable. email him: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via WhatsApp: +2348133261196.
