List of Tax Burdens

Our friends at Free Republic have a thread going that documents all the various taxes we pay.
Talk about multiple taxation.  They tax our income, then with what’s left over, when we make purchases, they tax those things too.  The Fair Tax would solve that problem.  But I don’t see that happening with all of the [...]

Some people still don’t get it

My 16 year old son is interested in current events, but he often asks me for my analysis of what is happening.
Today, he mentioned that he read that some on the left attribute the “Tea Parties” to racism. That is, the “right wingers” are prejudiced, and are protesting just because President Obama is black [...]

Who is John Galt?

You see, Obama announced that he has ordered employers to cut taxes taken from workers’ [...]

Given his past history of tax payments, perhaps he was merely protesting against [...]

Winter 2008: we’re not driving enough, and the increased fuel efficiency of vehicles has caused a steep decline in gas tax revenues, so the government is going to raise the gas tax.
Liberals are never happy. You drive too much, and that is [...]

Random Thoughts

The Democrats in Congress are leading the charge to both save one of their prime voting blocks (the UAW) and to nationalize the Auto industry.  Giving GM and Chrysler loans is nothing more than a band aid as well as lost money. Yes, there will be definite consequences if the “Big 3″ go under. But [...]
