  • Your Federal Tax Burden Under Current Law and the Fairtax by Ross Korves
    A FairTaxSM White Paper Your federal tax burden under current law and the FairTax by Ross Korves As farmers and ranchers prepare 2006 federal income tax returns or provide income and expense information to accountants and other tax professionals, a logical question is how would the tax burden change under the FairTax? The FairTax would eliminate all individual and corporate income taxes, all payroll taxes and self-employment taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and the estate tax and replace them with a national retail sales tax on final consumption of goods and services. Payroll and self-employment taxes The starting point in calculating the current tax burden is payroll taxes and self-employment taxes. Most people pay more money in payroll and self-employment taxes than they do in income taxes because there are no standard deductions or personal exemptions that apply to payroll and self-employment taxes. You pay tax on the first dollar earned. While employees see only 7.65 percent taken out of their paychecks, the reality is that the entire 15.3 percent payroll tax is part of the cost of having an employee and is a factor in determining how much an employer can afford to pay in wages. Self-employed taxpayers pay both the employer and employee portions of the payroll tax on their earnings, and the entire 15.3 percent on 92.35 percent of their self-employed income (they do not pay on the 7.65 percent of wages that employees do not receive as income); however, they are allowed to deduct the employer share of payroll taxes against the income tax.

  • The Selnolig Package: Selective Suppression of Typographic Ligatures*
    The selnolig package: Selective suppression of typographic ligatures* Mico Loretan† 2015/10/26 Abstract The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word shelfful, which is mentioned in the TEXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelfful rather than as shelfful. For English and German language documents, the selnolig package provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called “common” ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl ligatures as well as the ft and fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while making exceptions for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides ligature suppression rules for a number of so-called “discretionary” or “rare” ligatures, such as ct, st, and sp. The selnolig package requires use of the LuaLATEX format provided by a recent TEX distribution, e.g., TEXLive 2013 and MiKTEX 2.9. Contents 1 Introduction ........................................... 1 2 I’m in a hurry! How do I start using this package? . 3 2.1 How do I load the selnolig package? . 3 2.2 Any hints on how to get started with LuaLATEX?...................... 4 2.3 Anything else I need to do or know? . 5 3 The selnolig package’s approach to breaking up ligatures . 6 3.1 Free, derivational, and inflectional morphemes .

    EXTENSION OF THE DERIVATIVE CONCEPT FOR FUNCTIONS OF MATRICES R. F. RINEHART 1. Introduction. Let Mr and Mq denote the set of all square matri- ces of order n over the real and complex fields, respectively. By a function f(Z) of a matrix Z of Mr (or M(j) is meant a mapping of a subset of Mr(Mc) into Mr(Mc). The question with which this paper is concerned is the establishment of suitable concepts of differentiabil- ity and derivative for such functions. A meaningful and useful definition of these concepts, should of course bear some noticeable resemblance to the analogous concepts for scalar functions. In addition the derivative should preserve some of the elementary properties of the derivative for scalar functions. A modest set of such desirable properties is: I (a) lif(Z) is a constant, then Dzf(Z) =0, (b) Dz[f(Z)+g(Z)]=Dzf(Z)+Dzg(Z), (c) Dz\f(Z)g(Z)] = [Dzf(Z)}g(Z)+f(Z)Dzg(Z). An additional important desired attribute, perhaps more strin- gent, is II The definitions of differentiability and derivative shall be applicable and meaningful when applied to the special functions on Mq arising from scalar functions of a complex variable [2]. For example, it would be desirable that the function ez turn out to be differentiable, accord- ing to the general definition of differentiability of functions on Mq. In the fairly extensive literature on functions defined on Mr or Mc, or more generally on linear algebras with unit element over R or C, no definition of derivative has been given which satisfactorily fulfills requirements I and II.

General Information The Latin script1 or Roman script is a major writing system of the world today, and the most widely used in terms of number of languages and number of speakers, with circa 70% of the world’s readers and writers making use of this script2 (Wikipedia). Historically, it is derived from the Greek alphabet, as is the Cyrillic script. The Greek alphabet is in turn derived from the Phoenician alphabet which dates to the mid-11th century BC and is itself based on older scripts. This explains why Latin, Cyrillic and Greek share some letters, which may become relevant to the ruleset in the form of cross-script variants. The Latin alphabet itself originated in Italy in the 7th Century BC. The original alphabet contained 21 upper case only letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, Z, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V and X.
