Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Retroactive Taxation: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, on S. J. Res, 120 August 4, 1994 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:04 p.m., in room SD-226, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Paul Simon (chairman of the subcommittee), presiding. Opening Statement of Hon. Paul Simon, A U.S. Senator from The States of Illinois Senator Simon. The subcommittee hearing will come to order. We are holding a subcommittee hearing on the question of retroactive taxes and whether there should be a constitutional amendment or some other mechanism for dealing with that. We are holding the hearing at the request of our colleague from Georgia, Senator Paul Coverdell, and we have had through the years a number of examples of where we have had retroactive taxes. I am eager to hear what is said here today. I guess my own feeling is, in general, it is unwise to have retroactive taxes, but whether we should put it into the Constitution is something that I have to be persuaded about. We had two examples of that in the tax bill that we passed this past year. In the 1986 tax bill - and I cast one of three votes in the Senate against the 1986 tax bill - we, among other things, took away some tax shelters that we had had before, tax shelters for, among other things, commercial real estate development and for residential development. I was opposed to the tax shelter for commercial development when it was created. But once you create the shelter, it seems to me it is not good policy to say we are taking away the tax benefit that we gave to you. If you want to prospectively change the law and say we are not going to have that tax shelter from anyone who buys one from now on, that is a different thing. I do believe - and this is just a superficial impression on my part - that there are times where Congress may make a mistake. Even Senators Coverdell and Paul Simon make mistakes once in a while. And if we made a technical error in drafting a piece of tax legislation, we ought to be able to go back and correct that. But that is a different thing than what we are generally talking about.
