Press Release Summary: Tax attorney Roni Lynn Deutch - also known as The Tax Lady - has spoken out on the financial crisis, both on national television and her personal blog, to help inform taxpayers on how the Wall Street bailouts will affect their own personal finances.
Press Release Body: North Highlands, CA - With taxpayers across the country scared and confused about the financial meltdown, The Tax Lady Roni Deutch is aiming to educate taxpayers on the crisis to help ease their fears.
"These bailouts are going to cost taxpayers billions of dollars," notes Roni Deutch. "The government is going to have to raise taxes across the board. Just raising taxes on the wealthy will not be enough to cover these expenses."
A few weeks ago, Ms. Deutch was again featured on Fox Business Channel's Money for Breakfast. There, she discussed the impact of the financial bailouts on taxpayers. During the segment the show's host, Alexis Glick, asked Ms. Deutch about how specifically the government plans to pay for the bailouts.
"I truly believe you either reduce spending, borrow money, or you grow trees that produce money," continued Ms. Deutch. "Currently, 15% of taxpayers cannot pay their bills, so raising taxes on those people will be difficult. So we need to think about reducing spending somewhere, and I think the best place to do so is in military and defense spending. The solution to this financial crisis has to be balanced. Reduce spending, and raise taxes just a little."
As an extended part of her efforts to help taxpayers understand the financial crisis and the Wall Street bailouts, Ms. Deutch also took to her personal blog with an entry on common myths about the financial bailout. Below are four of the top myths, but feel free to click the link below to view the full list.

Myth: The bailout will only help those on Wall Street, not people living on Main Street Reality: Although Wall Street has lost the trust of taxpayers, our economy depends on them. The bailout isn't made to directly "help" any one specific person, but to help maintain the lifestyle of all Americans. It means keeping your bank accounts, loans, small business, insurance, and job in place. It means keeping your life in place.
Myth: The entire economic crisis is Bush's fault Reality: While it would be easy to point the finger at a single person, the fact is the economic crisis has been coming for longer than just eight years. Democrats and Republicans alike pushed changes to regulations that governed financial institutions. In addition, I would not solely blame improper loan companies or even the corporations that need bailing out. This is a deep-rooted crisis caused by dozens, if not hundreds of mistakes that have been made.
Myth: The bailout will provide immediate relief Reality: While the country watches as more jobs are lost and the DOW continues to fall, they are wondering why the bailout is not working yet. The truth is that the U.S. Treasury Department needs to set up a system to distribute the funds, and it could take as long as six weeks before they get to that point.
Myth: Why bail them out? The sooner they fall, the sooner we recover Reality: While this could work, the downside is that if it does not, we will all be in the hole. Unfortunately this country is not just relying on itself, and a pretty big chunk of our debt lies with foreign investors who are not very impressed with the situation. If those investors decide to pull their funds from American investments, then the economy could get much worse.
