In 2001, Ontario’s Progressive Conservative government introduced legislation to allow the Crown to confiscate property that might one day be used in a crime, or that might have been purchased with the proceeds of a crime.
Before the bill was made law, and before hearings were held to get public input on the bill, Freedom Party of Ontario’s Paul McKeever appeared on Rhonda London Live to discuss the legislation (see Part 3). He was preceded on the show by Dr. Margaret Beare, Director, Nathanson Centre for the Study of Organized Crime at York University (see Part 1); and by then Staff Superintendent Rocco Cleveland, Head of Detective Support for the Toronto Police Service (this part).

I like the flat tax as long as it’s even across the board—no exemptions, no loopholes. We could get rid of half of the people working for the IRS and I wouldn’t have to pay an accountant to fill out all of the forms to comply with complicated tax laws.
I have mixed feelings about Loser pays litigation. If a person has a ligitimate issue and they hire a lawyer to sue a large company, what if the large company has a team of lawyers and wrongfully wins? The person would go bankrupt paying for the large company’s lawyer fees. The thought of losing everything that a person has worked for their whole life might discourage legitimate cases. Perhaps this isn’t the way this works though and I’m missing something.
I am also for the Fair tax system. The IRS would no longer withhold our money from our checks but we’d pay a national sales tax.

Mail this post my sister says all check stubs, cancelled checks, bank statements, etc. should be kept 7 years in case of an IRS audit for a deceased person. The banks involved and the Social Security Administration told me all papers were officially trash as of the date of death except those papers and records needed to file the 2009 tax return.
Sis is right and the things said by the bank and SSA border on negligence! I would save at least the last three years plus the final one and estate tax return if filed or needed for 5 years or so.
