DEMOCRACY, as we know it, is being executed at the United States Supreme Court. Perhaps I should say democracy, as defined by our politicians, is what every American will see and hear over the next 60 days. I am not referring to the Presidential election, but rather the landmark case recently argued between the Obama Administration and the States’ Attorneys General in their challenge to the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA is and will be referred to in this column as either healthcare reform or “ObamaCare”.

Maybe it’s a good thing that the April 15th tax deadline and the urge to spring clean coincide. It feels good to throw out some of the financial records stuffing your filing cabinets – yes, businesses still use filing cabinets! But before you head to the shredder, make sure you’re not disposing of records you may need. You don’t want to be caught empty-handed if an IRS auditor contacts you.
