You'd think the folks at the Association of Trial Lawyers of America -- oops! I mean the American Association for Justice -- were ashamed of themselves or something...
I guess that everyone is a reference to the large pool of bottom feeding sharks.
Fabulous. They want to raise my taxes through the roof and give them to help the people that make my life miserable. What a country! (double barf)
What is the current rule. That fees and expenses are deducted as actually incurred? And income counted as actually received? If so, seems fair. I don’t know of any business that gets to make tax deductions in a year for expenses and fees it thinks it will have to pay in subsequent years.
LOL. Tax breaks for me but not for thee.
Sometimes the lefty interest groups make me laugh.
And this attitude is why many attorneys (defense and plaintiff) don’t or have stopped paying dues to the AAJ, f/k/a American Association of Trial Lawyers...nowadays, the only benefit is the car rental discounts for when you’re traveling and that aint enough for me.
They should be.
What’s the diference between a lawyer and a catfish?
One is a bottom dwelling slime sucker...
The other is a fish.
American Association for Justice (AAJ) used to be the American Trial Lawyers Association, a blatantly tort plaintiff’s attorney group. I refused to join it for the same reason I refuse to join the ABA: way too much politics, and of the kind that makes me wanna spit.
Colonel, USAFR
Raise taxes on wealth producers, entrepreneurs, businesses, and everything else that moves, but the trial lawyers get a tax cut.
Only in Obama’s America.
Give ‘em a tax break and watch the number of junk lawsuits skyrocket.
Federal legislation that would afford trial lawyers a special tax break faces an uncertain future, says one of the chief lobbyists for the nation's trial lawyers.How about an amendment -- lawyers who lose their civil cases (or settle out of court) get executed immediately after the verdict.
