New Stuff

Sorry for not posting lately. Upon returning from South Korea I landed a new job that I’m mostly unqualified for (yes, my new employer is aware of this) and I’ve been doing a lot of traveling and training.

Because I haven’t posted anything since the election I do want to back up a bit and say that I hope we all can support our new president. Let’s not act like those frothy mouthed, mad dog liberals. I am encouraged by most of his cabinet appointments so far and as long as we can keep taxes under control we should get through this okay.

To that end I’ve decided to take a new direction with this blog and spend more time discussing tax and economic policy. The best way to reduce the size of an increasingly intrusive and bloated government is to stop sending so many of our hard earned dollars to Washington. I think it’s obvious by now that much of what we pay in taxes is simply wasted on things that we don't need.

And, because I probably won't be able to post for a while longer, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Black Liberation Theology

The story of "Black Liberation Theology" from Little Green Footballs.



Senator Barack Obama spent over twenty years at the church of reverend Jeremiah Wright. Obama credits reverend Wright with introducing him to his Christian faith; but, what does that really mean?

Obama's Tax Mathemagic

By Kim Strassell - WSJ.com

And now, America, we introduce the Great Obama! The world's most gifted political magician! A thing of wonder. A thing of awe. Just watch him defy politics, economics, even gravity! (And hold your applause until the end, please.)

To kick off our show tonight, Mr. Obama will give 95% of American working families a tax cut, even though 40% of Americans today don't pay income taxes! How can our star enact such mathemagic? How can he "cut" zero? Abracadabra! It's called a "refundable tax credit." It involves the federal government taking money from those who do pay taxes, and writing checks to those who don't. Yes, yes, in the real world this is known as "welfare," but please try not to ruin the show.

For his next trick, the Great Obama will jumpstart the economy, and he'll do it by raising taxes on the very businesses that are today adrift in a financial tsunami! That will include all those among the top 1% of taxpayers who are in fact small-business owners, and the nation's biggest employers who currently pay some of the highest corporate tax rates in the developed world. Mr. Obama will, with a flick of his fingers, show them how to create more jobs with less money. It's simple, really. He has a wand.
