This was Reagan's initiative. That doesn't fit in very well with your tax and spend liberal agenda theory, I know.

Just one more example of tax and spend liberal agendas. Nothing messes up a free enterprising and independent spirit more than government interference like this.
Perhaps we should get together and see what can be done to repeal or reverse some of these "brilliant" decisions.
Any suggestions?

<< Some years ago, there was a legal decision that has had a serious
impact on publishers. It was probably not intended to have this influence,
but it does. The case involved Thor Power Tool and the decision requires
that on a given day, the same day, every year, a tax must be paid on all
inventory. Prior to this decision, publishers could have a print run of 100,
000 copies, store them in a warehouse awaiting demand, and hold them for as
long as was necessary for that demand to build up and thus depete the stock.
Now however, they must produce much smaller runs, and even remainder before
that crucial date appears on the calendar so as to reduce the tax burden. It
is one of the reasons that so many items go out of print or out of stock so
quickly. There is a double whammy in the area of children's and special
interest books, because initial print runs are so small, comparatively, and
because of the small, relatively, market.
Would love for others to react to this issue. >>
