If youâre wondering where the proof is of the POW-MIA flagâs racist heritage, youâre not alone. It turns out there is none, nor does the author attempt to make anything approaching an argument on the topic.At least outlets like Salon and Slate humor their readers with convoluted arguments that make no sense.iller famously called his purchase of Newsweek a mistake, a sentiment one can identify with after reading the publicationâs screed against that ages-old emblem of racism and xenophobia: the POW-MIA flag. You read that correctly.
Government Guidelines. The U.S. government offers general guidelines about how long to keep household records. It recommends that you break down records into active and dead storage, meaning papers over three years old. It suggests keeping loan documents and home purchase papers as long as you own the property.
I would advise you to keep records and tax returns for the years that include out-of-the-ordinary transactions (sales or donations of property), and income from activities such as stock option exercises, trust income, etc., for six years after the filing date of the return. find that in the case of tax returns, many people are afraid to discard them or confused as to how long they should keep them. The result is that they keep them all. One client told me he kept every tax return he filed going back over 30 years! Keeping all of your financial papers that long is not a good strategy.
