The Audacity of Congress

The Audacity of Congress

The terms “tax” or “taxes” is mentioned 92 times in H.R. 3200 – the healthcare so-called reform bill that is currently before Congress. Why? Why mention the IRS in a healthcare bill? Well, for one thing, the bill says you will be taxed 2.5% of AGI (that’s the last number on the front page of your Form 1040) for not having government-approved coverage. That could be a significant amount for… Continue

Need action not more rhetoric

Hi--I'm new to this blog and issue, but as I see it--we need to mobilize a plan of action consistent with out abilities to effect a change. We can outsmart them if we get the goal defined and our brains thinking and proposing solutions. I am a pragmatist--I face bankrupcy, foreclosure etc and I'm a physician. I'm even thinking about a part time job as an exotic dancer so that I can stay a doctor.lol I'm good at helping people and finding solutions.

So, rallies are great--, but with minimal… Continue

Lessons Learned and Re-Learned

http://timnerenz.com/content/lessons-learned-and-re-learned

Note to business students: if you have just spent $50 billion to acquire GM and Chrysler, do not pay people $4,500 to buy a Honda.

The government’s Cash-For-Clunkers program is out of money; it only took one week to burn through $1 billion, and now they need $4 billion more. That must be some kind of new record… Continue

Open Letter to the White House

I am an insignificant blogger out there who is in desperate need of your re-education camps you will soon be setting up. Much like the communist did in Cambodia and Vietnam after the conflict ended in 1975. You see while I had government indoctrination in my primary and secondary education it seems as though the propaganda didn’t take hold in me. I had further government education for my bachelors and masters degree programs but some of the professors were not as complicit as my previous… Continue

It's An American Thing

The Fair Tax. You might be wondering who's behind this? Is it the crazy left wing liberals? Maybe it's the wild eyed extremists on the right? My favorite by the way since I am one:). Or is it those loony libertarians?

Well with apologies to every one I just offended, the answer is non of the above! That's right none of the above. This transcends party.…

"The Fair Tax Folly", an article by Edward Glamkowski on Facebook Group

A blog entry on Facebook by Edward Glamkowski and my response to it. This gentleman is smart and has more education than I do but I did my best to refute his arguments. Any additional help on this would be appreciated. The Facebook Group is called "Neal Boortz Listeners."

"Mr. Edward Glamkowski's arguments against the Fair Tax and the refuted sections of HR25 "The Fair Tax."

First off, I must say I totally support the abolition of the income tax. In fact, you could… Continue

Taxes on Income are Antiquated

Why tax only American Jobs?

More than one third of our nation’s income comes from Social Security taxes , because people work. More than another third of our income comes from income taxes on the salaries and wages of people who work. Most of the rest comes from taxes on employers, much of it because they hire workers. All of these taxes have to be embedded in the prices charged for things made by American labor.

Now ask yourself! Where doesn’t our nation’s… Continue

The Fair Tax (my way of explaining it to friends)

The current infrastructure to our economy is too complex, outdated, and unfair to all of this great nations citizens. The main cause of this economic collapse (downfall is to mild a word) is the current structure and usage of taxes (the IRS) in this nation.The main function of our taxes is to fund the federal government, the last thing it should be used for is to extend the arm of the US Government into the personal lives and private sector businesses of its citizens. Our tax code is to complex… Continue

23% Tomato or 30% Tomato

Question: I did some math. We believe that there is an embedded cost of 22% in the cost of everything that we buy. That means that by enacting the fair tax a $100 item would cost around $78. A Sales tax rate of 23% of that 78$ would leave the final price at $95.94. Thats a $4.06 drop in price even with the fair tax. Am I wrong?

This is an example used to explain the 23% tomato or 30% tomato. I did the math and here is the controversy. If you divide 77 dollars by 23 you get a round… Continue

DECAF'S RANTS AND RAVES:

Debt = Servitude Why else would they pass such massive entitlement and debt laden programs to indebt our grandchildren and great children. It appears that generations in debt are generations in servitude.

Servitude = Slavery We will all be bound in the chains of economic slavery unless we return to the roots of our Founding Fathers.
