Taxing Our Way Out of This Mess

Taxing Our Way Out of This Mess By Neal Boortz I can understand why this "tax the rich" rhetoric works. Look at the polls. A huge percentage of Americans believe we could balance our budget if we would simply eliminate foreign aid? Sorry … that's less than 1% of the federal budget. But if that many people believe you can balance the budget by simply eliminating foreign aid, then it is easy to understand why they would think that you could balance the budget by just raising taxes on the rich. I'll show you in a second why that just won't work. This brings up a question: Is self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders from Vermont an idiot or a demagogue? Sanders is ...

Pitching the promise of energy independence, President Barack Obama cautioned Wednesday that it's going to be tough to transition from America's oil-dependent economy and acknowledged there's little he can do to lower gas prices over the short term. "I'm just going to be honest with you. There's not much we can do next week or two weeks from now," the president told workers at a wind turbine plant. It's a theme Obama's struck before as he tries to show voters he's attuned to a top economic concern with gas prices pushing toward $4 a gallon. Obama said he wants to move toward "a future where America is less dependent on foreign oil, more ...

I look forward to continuing to work with him. Glenn Beck said: "I truly believe that America owes a lot to Roger ...
Black Panthers Leader Calls Obama A “Bamboozling Nigger”, Says Michelle Should Leave Him Tonight

Obama played the black community and many other voter groups so he could gain power. He is a user and a tool. What has Obama done for blacks – high unemployment, rising energy costs,collapse of housing industry, and creeping inflation. Many blacks are worse off now than before Obama was elected. This is a bit of delicious schadenfreude (the tape of Farrakhan dissing Obama was awesome too). Obama’s already losing the white, hispanic, and women vote if you analyze recent polling data. If he loses even 5 – 10 % of the black vote he got in 2008, then the party’s over.
Rand Paul offers Tea Party alternative to GOP's ten-year budget plan

Today, Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) will be unveiling the establishment GOP's ten-year plan to make $6 trillion in spending cuts. Critics are already calling the proposal "radical," but Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) said last month that the Republicans' ten-year budget plan will actually do very little to meaningfully address the out-of-control spending in Washington. The Tea Party Senator from Kentucky says that the people he talks with across the country find current spending levels radical, and that they believe most attempts by either party to address the nation's dire fiscal crisis are half-hearted, timid, and unserious. Paul Ryan's proposal would reduce ...
GOP Rep to target Catholic Church tax status

It’s on between the Tea Party and the Catholic Church in New Hampshire. Republican State Rep. and Tea Party leader Andrew Manuse (R-Derry) told the Catholic League he will be filing legislation in the New Hampshire House to strip the Roman Catholic Church of its tax exempt status because Bishop John McCormack spoke against proposed budget cuts at a recent State House rally, according to Bill Donohue, the President of the Catholic League. “I am now considering a bill to remove the Church’s tax exempt status in New Hampshire, for you have clearly shown that you no longer want it,” Manuse says in the e-mail. Sources at the State House have confirmed to NH Journal that ...
Paul Rankles Reid on Libya

Washington — Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.), a Tea Party favorite, has boxed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) into a corner. After a quiet day of quorum calls and speeches, Reid abruptly adjourned the upper chamber Thursday and postponed votes until Monday. According to numerous Hill staffers, Paul deserves some credit for the impasse. Here’s the back story: On Wednesday, Paul, with little notice, attached an amendment to the small-business re-authorization bill. The amendment, which chastises President Obama for his actions in Libya, urges members to adopt the president’s own words as “the sense of the Senate.” To make his point, Paul quoted, in the ...
NY Serial Killer Cops Find Eight Bodies

Police in New York hunting a suspected serial killer say they have now found a total of eight sets of human remains on a remote beach. Officers using helicopters, sniffer dogs and a finger-tip search of the coastal area 45 miles east of New York City have uncovered the grisly evidence over a period of four months. Last December, four bodies were discovered as part of the search for 24-year-old Shannon Gilbert, who vanished in May 2010 after apparently arranging to meet a client through Craigslist. At 4.45am on the morning of her disappearance, she rang the doorbell of a man who lived in a gated community on the beach, asking for his help. She fled when he tried to ring the police. A ...
Obama: Government shutdown over budget 'inexcusable'

US President Barack Obama has said it would be "inexcusable" for lawmakers to fail to fund the government to the end of September to avoid a shutdown. "There is no reason why we should not get an agreement," the president said. Congressional leaders and Mr Obama failed to reach a federal budget deal in talks in Washington on Tuesday. Following his visit to the White House, House Speaker John Boehner said Republicans would not accept options they did not wish to endorse. Negotiations have stalled over legislation to fund the day-to-day operations of US federal agencies to the end of the fiscal year, with the Republicans demanding greater spending cuts. Democrats have ...

Wisconsin Union Bosses Sell Out Members to Keep Union Dues Flowing by LaborUnionReport For the last several weeks, we have pointed out that the union fight in Wisconsin is more about union power and union dues than the actual members. It was also noted how unions were rushing back to get contracts signed before Scott Walker’s new law took effect. Now, via Piece of Work In Progress comes irrefutable evidence that some unions in Wisconsin are so desperate to secure continued dues payments before Scott Walker’s union reform law takes effect that they are more than giving management everything it wants—at least one union actually gave management more than it was asking ...
A Donald Trump-Mitt Romney showdown in New Hampshire (Trumps Proofer Strategy Working)

Looks like Donald Trump's win-the-birthers strategy is working in New Hampshire — and that’s coming at the expense of front-runner Mitt Romney. Romney leads the first-in-the-nation primary contest in a multitude of scenarios involving difference candidates, often by as much as a 2-1 margin, according to a survey out Tuesday from Public Policy Polling. But when Trump gets into the race, Romney’s edge shrinks to 6 points, 27 percent to 21 percent. If Trump isn't included in the survey, Romney draws 32 percent of the vote, with Mike Huckabee a distant second at 15 percent. The difference is the birthers: The Democratic polling shop found that Trump leads Romney among ...

Cold winters cause global warming

From the Guardian: UK greenhouse gas emissions rise Cold winter leads to 2.8% rise in greenhouse gas emissions in 2010, figures show. Greenhouse gas emissions rose by nearly 3% last year, according to government statistics released on Thursday. The increase was a result of the continuing recovery of the economy after the crash which followed the banking crisis of 2008. Overall, emissions of the six major greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide were up 2.8% on 2009. Previously, due in part to the recession hitting industry and energy use, 2009 had seen large falls in greenhouse gases (down 8.7% on 2008). But the increase means that the UK’s target of cutting emissions by 35% by ...

Southwest's short-haul operations may be linked to jetliner rupture FAA plans to order emergency inspections for metal fatigue on older 737s. Officials say aircrafts' aluminum skin can be stressed by changes in cabin pressure from an average of six flights a day. By Dan Weikel, Los Angeles Times April 4, 2011, 8:06 p.m. Aviation experts said the aluminum skin of the 15-year-old Boeing 737-300 could have become fatigued from the stress of daily landings and takeoffs as well as frequent changes in cabin pressure. According to airline officials, some Southwest planes fly even more often as the low-cost carrier hustles to perform in an industry battered by high fuel prices and ...

Man must be doing something, or fancy that he is doing something, for in him throbs the creative impulse; the mere basker in the sunshine is not a natural, but an abnormal man. -- Henry George The news media these days look to outperform one another in their showings of concern for the lost battalion of America’s unemployed. Consult any newspaper, wander the Internet or the television talk-show circuit, and at the top of the column or the hour the headline is jobs. Jobs, the bedrock of America’s world- beating prosperity, the cornerstones of its future comfort and well-being -- gone to Mexico or China, deleted from payrolls in Michigan and Ohio, mothballed in the Arizona desert. ...

Politics from the Nation's Capital Uncovered: New $2 billion bailout in Obamacare By: Byron York 03/31/11 11:02 PM Investigators for the House Energy and Commerce Committee have discovered that a little-known provision in the national health care law has allowed the federal government to pay nearly $2 billion to unions, state public employee systems, and big corporations to subsidize health coverage costs for early retirees. At the current rate of payment, the $5 billion appropriated for the program could be exhausted well before it is set to expire. The discovery came on the eve of an oversight hearing focused on the workings of an obscure agency known as CCIO -- the Center for ...

# Greg Jeloudov says he felt 'deflated, depressed and dejected' by the event and the psychological impact was 'unreal' # The former actor now suffers from nightmares and flashbacks Some soldiers keep silent about male-on-male sexual assault because they don't want anyone to know, don't think anything will be done or are afraid of retaliation. But nearly 50,000 male veterans screened positive for ‘military sexual trauma’ at the Department of Veterans Affairs last year - up from just over 30,000 eight years ago. Greg Jeloudov was fired up with patriotism and a desire to provide for his family when he joined the U.S. Army - but instead was bullied and ...
Liberals proved spectacularly wrong about traffic deaths

Liberals proved spectacularly wrong about traffic deaths by Russ Vaughn The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just issued a report showing that traffic deaths in America were last year at their lowest level since 1949. This despite the fact that the population has more than doubled from 153 million in 1950 to 308 million in 2010. Certainly there are many reasons for the drop in fatalities, and intensive campaigns against drunk driving has accounted for much of this good news. The NHTSA gives its self some pats on the back for initiating and supporting safety programs, some of which I've never seen mention of. What goes unsaid in all of this, however, is the glaring ...

April 3, 2011 War Nerd Blog Day 14: Four Blessed Years without Dixie By Gary Brecher Today I want to do a little of both by quoting something amazing I found rereading a classic one-volume history of the Civil War, James McPherson’s Battle Cry of Freedom. If you don’t know anything about the Civil War, McPherson’s book is a good place to start…although that raises kind of a more urgent type question, i.e.: If you don’t know anything about the Civil War, what the Hell’s wrong with you? He’s especially good about the buildup, the incredible concessions the North made, all but grovelling to the plantation-massa lunatics who ruled the South and had been ...
GOP 2012 budget to make $4 trillion-plus in cuts

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Republican plan for the 2012 budget would cut more than $4 trillion over the next decade, more than even the president's debt commission proposed, with spending caps as well as changes in the Medicare and Medicaid health programs, its principal author said Sunday. The spending blueprint from Rep. Paul Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee, is to be released Tuesday. It deals with the budget year that begins Oct. 1, not the current one that is the subject of negotiations aimed at preventing a partial government shutdown on Friday. In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Ryan said budget writers are working out the 2012 numbers with the ...

The Progressives' Perfect Trojan Horse By Lloyd Marcus As millions of my fellow Americans, I am extremely angry, outraged, and devastated by the Democrats' unbelievable arrogance and disdain for We The People. Despite our screaming "no" from the rooftops, they forced ObamaCare down our throats. Please forgive me for using the following crude saying, but it is very appropriate to describe what has happened. "Don't urinate on me and tell me it's raining." Democrats say that their mission is to give all Americans health care. The Democrats are lying. Signing ObamaCare into law against our will and the Constitution is tyranny and step one of their hideous ...

DES MOINES, Iowa – U.S. Sen. Rand Paul was hailed in Iowa Saturday as an emerging party player for his government-shrinking, deficit-cutting message — nearly four years after his father championed similar themes but was excluded from a Republican presidential forum because of his poor showing in the polls. The Kentucky senator's message sounded much like the one delivered by his father, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, whose low-budget presidential campaign ended with a fifth place showing in the 2008 caucuses. On Saturday, the younger Paul delivered the keynote speech at an Iowa Republican Party event dubbed "Night of the Rising Stars." The change speaks volumes about ...

Morning Bell: Stop Sending Jobs Overseas Posted April 1st, 2011 at 9:26am Today, the Labor Department released its monthly jobs report showing that the U.S. economy added 216,000 jobs in March and unemployment fell to 8.8 percent. Despite these encouraging numbers, Americans still consistently tell pollsters that jobs and the economy are the most important problems facing the country. And yesterday, Gallup released a poll showing that the number one way Americans would like to see more United States jobs created is to stop sending new jobs overseas. That is a fabulous idea, and the simplest way to accomplish it would be to lower out nation’s corporate tax rate. The United States was ...
