• Presidential Endorsements Could Cost Churches Billions. Procon.Org Explores Whether or Not Churches Should Remain Tax Exempt.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Reverend Robert Jeffress, a Dallas pastor who endorsed Gov. Rick Perry, made waves when he called Mormonism a "cult" on Oct. 7, 2011. The IRS has been asked to investigate whether Jeffress endangered the tax-exempt status of his church just by endorsing the Texas Republican. While U.S. churches are protected under federal income and property tax exemptions, a 1954 law prohibits churches from "directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign." The IRS used this law to revoke the tax-exempt status of a church that in 1992 ran an advertisement criticizing Bill Clinton's views. And now the IRS is being asked to review whether Jeffress's church violated the same law.

• Only the Right Income Tax Will Work

We will never be able to satisfy the mandates of the Texas Constitution and still provide adequate funding for public education until we stop this nonsense. Elaborate equalization schemes like Robin Hood waste millions of dollars on administration while the gap between rich and poor grows yearly. This special session we will add billions of dollars in regressive new taxes to "buy down" the property tax rate, but at the same time we will give authority to raise those rates right back up. In a few years time, homeowners' property tax cuts will have evaporated. First, everyone must be included. In part, we do this to satisfy a uniquely Texan cultural ethic of fairness: "It ain't right to soak the rich," and "everybody should pay their fair share." Also, it vests everyone in the system. We ...

• Truth in Lending (Regulation Z)

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011. The Bureau is in the process of republishing the regulations implementing those laws with technical and conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act. In light of the transfer of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board's) rulemaking authority for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation Z (Truth in Lending).
