Conversations and profiles — interviews with tax professionals, newsmakers, and the people shaping the world of tax.
It’s always nice when someone reads my blog and is reminded of a tax professional that they like and respect. And that’s the case for this week. Phil, over at Slacker Manager, recommended Robert as a good interview for me… and he was right! An added bonus? I have a new podcast feed to look…
It’s not a secret that I am a huge fan of Temple Law School’s tax program. Yes, I’m biased because it’s my alma mater. But I can back it up with real world experiences (yes, plural). In fact, having worked closely with a number of tax professionals over the years, both as colleagues and in…
I’m been following the conversations on Warren Buffett and his concerns about the tax system and have to say that I find it fascinating. When one of the wealthiest men in the world criticizing our tax system as “tilted towards the rich,” it’s time to take notice. The original video (from 2007) has been removed…
I found out from Kay Bell that I’ve been tagged for a meme. According to Kay, I’m supposed to share seven random things about myself that y’all might not know. And you know, you Don’t Mess With Taxes… so here goes. 1, I probably would never have gone into law except for two fictional people:…

Abreu teaches taxation, corporate taxation, international tax, and tax policy (if you’re at Temple, take this class!), among other courses. Of course, we Temple alums aren’t the only ones lucky enough…
It’s always nice to help out a fellow tax professional. That’s why I was particularly honored to be mentioned in this article, thanks to Lubna Kably. Be sure and check it out.
Gov Huckabee is a huge proponent of the Fair Tax. He made this clear when I emailed his staff earlier this year with questions – and then again when I interviewed him by phone. Here’s his debate response to criticisms of the plan:
No, not that Paula Jones. It’s attorney Paula Jones, who does estate tax work in Philly – as well as wowing folks across Pennsylvania with her public speaking. Onto the interview… 1. Where are you now? McCarter & English LLP 2. What’s your official title and what does it mean? Attorney and it means I…
One of the great things about Getting to Know You Tuesday is being able to introduce you to a number of great tax professions, some of which I know personally and some of which I only know virtually. Today’s guest is the former. I first met Liz when we spoke together on a Pennsylvania Bar…
