Well it is interesting you bring up the subject of immigration.  Since a number of states are performing their own experiments by inacting draconian immigration legislation.  When the state of Georgia decided that all employers were required to use the National E-verify system as a condition for employment. There were farmers who  had thousands of…[Read more]

I want you to be rewarded for working hard. I don’t want to see American’s working two minimum wage jobs and still unable to afford health insurance. I think that is a myth…if you work hard you will succeed. That is the point of the protests. The numbers don’t lie…the income inequality continues to widen in our country. The power does come…[Read more]

Steve, you seem hopelessly naive and unread..Do you really think attacking Iraq and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraquis was a good choice? Lettin our country be known for torturing prisoners – a fact used against us with the hikers in Iran who were recently released, and stated that the fact that the US tortures people gives them…[Read more]

But the system has been gamed, Jordan..There is no free market. The cards are stacked, and increasingly so. I can’t understand how you can miss that, it is covered pretty thoroughly in many many many articles.

This is what we are saying. I took a lot of inspiration after hearing a program covering the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial dedication yesterday. Apparently his friend Cornel West did too…because he immediately went to the Supreme Court, held a sign that quoted Gandhi saying, “Poverty is the Worst Kind of Violence” and was arrested. Who would…[Read more]

The thing is the banks are not making loans to small businesses that could grow. We had to get a loan from my mom for a dump trailer for our business, I know a hair stylist in town that tried to get a $5000 loan and my brother in law is starting his own construction business in W. Washington and can’t even get a loan for a business truck. I…[Read more]

The economy as it is, college costs, insecurity, and other maladies are the objectives of the people who are sponsoring these protests.  And the regard these sponsors have for our intelligence is illustrated by their belief that we’re too stupid to notice that they’re protesting the very things for which they’ve been working for the past 33 months.   

In some ways, but I noticed no mention of how immigration, new technology, and globalization have hurt employment….and how would we make banks loan out money faster if businesses aren’t ready to expand and hire?

Those guys certainly do a better job of explaining the situation than the protesters do!

This article is an interesting take on the present situation:

Mentioning in your essay who your favorite architects, landscape architects, buildings and/or landscapes are and stating why is also a convincing way to show that you are interested in the subject. Even just mentiong what you want to do is good enough.

Cain is a politician or wanna be from the GOP. Of course, he’s looking out for the wealthy first. Republicans divide their party two ways: they use tax cuts, financial matters to gather votes from the wealthy donors; then use gun ownership, religion issues, abortion, gay rights, social issues to gather votes from the middle and lower class…[Read more]

 
Again, we do not know what will be exempted or not. There will be exemptions (not deductions), as there always are with flat tax systems. It is also very easy to put in exemptions (you make less than ‘x’, no 9% income tax), without loopholes and ‘earned income tax credit.’ The point is to keep it simple. One interesting thing e-tailers are co…[Read more]

I’m tired…I don’t know why I am even arguing about this…Cain will not be the nominee. Good night…for real.
I do realize one mistake I made…for the individual making $20,000…if he has a family and maybe if he doesn’t…I am too tired to check…he would actually not have payroll tax. It could be taken out but he would get a return back.…[Read more]

He doesn’t have details…I used the same calculations economists are using to estimate what the changes would cost individuals. He also does not exempt food from sales tax. You can run the numbers yourself. We have our own business and so I do know how payroll works…I was not confused by that. What I am going to continue coming back to…[Read more]

This is quite interesting. A letter from an attorney representing Occupy Wall Street to Brookfield Office Properties, the owners of Zuccotti Park regarding the eviction notice a few days ago.

I have yet to see the complete details of the 999 plan, but anything has to be better then the system we currently have. Even the Fed chairman, the former chair of the taxation comittee in the House, who actually WRITE the tax code can’t even understand the current system. It is indecypherable, which is why so many high profile people are caught w…[Read more]

You are referring to Cain’s plan…that is what we are talking about right? 9-9-9? I think you are just bothered that I took the time to crunch the numbers myself, something you didn’t bother to do yourself or you would have known what he is saying about his plan is untrue. You want a tax increase on the poor…to piss off CPA firms? I suppose you…[Read more]

I was not referring to Cain.  I was referring to his PLAN. His plan proposes to scrap our current tax code and replace it with his 999 plan.  You may not agree with the details but it is a clean break from our current convoluted tax code.  I am sure it would piss off a lot of CPA firms and H&R Blocks who exact their annual fees from us ta…[Read more]
