Taxes

Just Scratch Behind the Ear(mark)s

The Wall Street Journal reports that President Bush will have a big decision to make this week. When he signed the earmark-laden omnibus spending bill last a couple weeks ago, he remarked that he was going to have his budget director
“…review options for dealing with the wasteful spending in the omnibus bill.”
After a bit of [...]

Was He Talking About the Weather?

NewsOK has the info about the Tech Center millage vote cancellation. They quote NE Tech Center Board President George McCreary as saying:
“This is a … disaster up here.”
I just wanna know if he was talking about the weather or the way NTC handled the millage vote…

WynnBlog on Generator Power: NE Tech Centers Cancel Dec. 11 Vote

Portions of Claremore are without power, and the damage is severe. I went and got the in-laws last night because their power was out, then ours went out this morning. I can’t complain, as many people are dealing with outages. However, I can complain–and will–about the City of Claremore. When we called to report the [...]

Let’s Revisit the Fair Tax

I am in favor of the Fair Tax plan that is promoted by Neal Boortz. I have mentioned this before. Apparently, the Fair Tax plan is picking up some steam based on some of the huge hit pieces that have come out against it. What amazes me is that people who should know better are [...]

Pass Me that Rainbow Stew (Obscure Merle Haggard Reference Warning!)

You gotta love Tom Coburn. This man is truly what a citizen-legislator should be. He has remarked that Republicans’ huge losses are due to thier abandoning the small-government principles of Reagan and Goldwater. I believe he is right.
Coburn, however, is in a position to do something about it. He and his ally, Jim DeMint of [...]

Do you read the comments?

Check out the comments on my previous post, Federal Court Slaps Down IRS! Twatch has made some good points and I have responded, and he has made some more good points. Good, intelligent (at least from Twatch) discussion. Feel free to weigh in yourself. I will respond further when I have the time.

Federal Court Slaps Down IRS!

It’s nice to see the IRS kept at bay once in a while. And it’s good to see the federal courts recognize that Congress does have some restrictions to its power of taxation.
Relevant exerpt:
The Sixteenth Amendment simply does not authorize the Congress to tax as “incomes” every sort of revenue a taxpayer may receive. As the [...]

The Time Has Come…

I am a little behind on my reading, but I finally bought and read The Fair Tax Book by Neal Boortz and John Linder. I have been a fan of the fair tax in concept for some time. It was nice, though, to read all the details. All I can do is repeat an old [...]

Peggy Noonan’s Powers of Observation Are 100% Accurate

I am a huge Peggy Noonan fan, although I do not always agree with everything she says. But her last column is absolutely 100% dead-on accurate. She is smart, and it is a bit of a lengthy piece. I encourage you to read it all. It makes the case, one I have been making, that [...]

No New Taxes

Well, I felt really bad because I forgot to vote today. Thank goodness others didn’t, and thank goodness 87.21% of those voting had the good sense to vote against the fuel tax increases (unfortunately, I must face the reality that around 13% of our fellow citizens are totally brain-dead). Here’s an idea: let’s hold our [...]
