In keeping with my distaste of politicians constantly wasting my money, putting us out of work, and constantly lying and thieving for their own and their bubbas’ benefits, I am wondering if these aren’t good ideas:
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) allows for the deduction of the expenses for maintaining a home office. Normally, you would have to meet the full criteria of a separate room/space that includes a door that closes and certain other specificities that show that this space is a true office and not just a dodge.
However, with so many businesses being required by the politicians mishandling government and the pandemic shut downs, certain of those requirements cannot be met, e.g., such as putting an office in a spare or even the master, bedroom. Still, the number of households who have had to convert home space to office space, and to buy office equipment or upgrade home-office equipment, is in the tens of millions and since this change was not intended by the employee, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) should have to make allowances for these changes. It may not, but that can be litigated and any honest judge will agree to the deduction.
Another concern that has come to mind, is that of just compensation. The U.S. Constitution requires that when government takes something from a citizen, it must reciprocate with just compensation. A federal lawsuit requiring both the Feds and the States that have forced us home with executive orders may be filed requesting damages that include the psychological, i.e., pain & suffering, as well as the aspect of ‘taking’ of our homes and businesses without just compensation.
There is also the legal theory of scope of employment. that when behavior is outside their scope of employment (or, scope of authority, think Cuomo and Newsom), the employee is held personally accountable for his actions. Cuomo certainly was acting outside of his scope of employment when he altered the statistics which showed that his executive order forcing COVID positive elders back into nursing homes was responsible for thousands of deaths, thus opening him up for civil wrongful death actions that would include punitive damages. Considering that the honest reporting shows that he did that in order to help the NY Hospital Association avoid filling their beds with lower paying Medicare and Medicaid recipients and not to help his citizenry, certainly outside his scope of authority, he should now be held personally liable.
Just a few thoughts that may interest you.
