Huffington Post : WASHINGTON -- Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said Tuesday that he and two campaign finance watchdog groups would sue the IRS, challenging regulations that allow nonprofit groups to be involved in politics if they're "primarily" devoted to a social welfare purpose. Van Hollen said he and watchdog groups Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21 would sue to clarify an IRS regulation that he said was at odds with the law, which requires certain groups to "exclusively" engage in social welfare to earn nonprofit status. The IRS regulation permitting groups “primarily” engaged in social welfare allows the organizations to participate in an undefined amount of political activity, said the congressman, a leading advocate of campaign finance reform and ranking member of the House Budget Committee.

And what's the timescale for reform? Getting agreement on global action to prevent tax evasion was never going to be easy. In the event, the G8 summit communique has delivered more than a whimper, but far less than the big bang that many had hoped for. Let's start with the good news. Thanks in no small measure to the British government, which punched well above its weight, tax and transparency are firmly on the G8 radar. We now have a development agenda that goes beyond aid – one that links rich-country concerns over tax erosion to the loss of development finance in the poorest countries . There are also encouraging signs that tax justice is mobilising public opinion. Then there's the communique itself. If you had offered veteran tax reform advocates the language in the Lough Erne document a year ago, many would have grabbed it with both hands. If implemented effectively, the pledge to move towards ...

The prime minister said that he wanted to introduce strong legislation to underpin the recommendations of the "excellent" banking commission, chaired by the Conservative MP Andrew Tyrie. The commission called for the creation of a new criminal offence of "reckless misconduct in the management of a bank" and for new powers to be given to regulators that could force bankers to wait up to 10 years to receive their bonuses. Asked by Ed Miliband at prime minister's questions whether he supported these two proposals, Cameron said: "Yes, I do support both those measures. Obviously we need to take time to read this excellent report and I commend [Andrew Tyrie] for the excellent job ...

That quest may seem a bit overdone, given the already weakened state of the attempt at financial regulation – like taking a hammer to a housefly. Still, a phalanx of injured parties – 11 states, two groups dedicated to conservative economic agendas and one Texas state bank – argued that Dodd-Frank is unconstitutional. Their complaints all center around the part of Dodd-Frank that wants to solve the problem of "too big to fail" by allowing regulators to manage the bankruptcy of big banks. The idea of this affront to capitalism makes the people behind the lawsuit sputter – in a way that, strangely, they never do at the prospect of the government having to step in and save banks with multibillion-dollar bailouts. ...

At the height of the banking crisis, every man, woman and child in Britain stuck £19,271 each behind the banking sector. According to an IMF calculation from 2009 , the public was suborned into handing over £1.2 trillion in bailouts, loans and state guarantees on bankers' trading. Some of that money was never called upon; some of it has been paid back or may be paid back. The rest has been lost. This was an extraordinary intervention made by Gordon Brown to defend one industry, defined by David Cameron as being part of the "national interest".
