The Economic Case for Tax Havens

My apologies for not writing…

For those of you who actually read this, I apologize for not writing. I have been too busy campaigning that I cannot take the time nor write with a somewhat objective view while working on a campaign. I will start to write again  come November 5.

I.O.U.S.A

The Fiscal Wake-Up tour has a parterning video out about how our nation’s “sound” monetary and fiscal policy is doing.

I.O.U.S.A.

One nation. Under stress. In Debt.

Obama’s Social Security Tax Proposal

“One, two, three, four….FOUR!, We did not shoot off FOUR!” said Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

“One, two, three, four….FOUR!, We did not shoot off FOUR!” said Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

I am praising the NY TIMES two times in one week. Watch out folks, I becoming a liberal. (Joking)

Apparently, the Iranians (Revolutionary Guards, more specifically) did some photoshopping of some pictures and made it seem like they shot off one more missle than they actually did and they NY TIMES figured it out first. See the article for more information.

Bank of Broken Promises

I saw this picture on Johnathan Martin’s Politico.com blog and thought the picture was absolutely hilarious. Apparently, some College Republican’s (CR’s) tried to get into a Obama/Clinton Fundraiser last night to give a check for ONE BILLION DOLLARS, but they were held up at security and unable to get into the building.

On the check it said, “Bank of Broken Promises.”

The Senate passes a bill?

Unions Miss Big Lug

(Source: Des Moines Register – http://cmsimg.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=D2&Date=20080707&Category=NEWS09&ArtNo=807070317&Ref=AR&Profile=1056&MaxW=550&MaxH=650&title=0)

In a Des Moines Register article today it discussed how the labor unions of Iowa miss their typical control over liberal Democratic state politicians when it comes to Gov. Chester Culver. I feel that is a good thing. Gov. Culver might be playing politics and staying away from the pandering crowd of labor unions, but I see no problem.

Okay, I see a problem. The problem is that he will still be friends to them, becuase they give him money, but he wants to be far enough away so that he can seem like a centrist, two-term or more governor. Lets face it, Gov. Culver likes being Governor. Espeically after all the news coverage of how well Iowa handled the floods and aftermath. Gov. Culver wants to be America’s governor some day, no question about it. I feel he has a long way to go, but best of luck to the Big Lug in the Governor’s chair.

Point of information: Next election, vote against Gov. Culver. We might get some tax relief.

A First on July 7th

It is not too often I praise the New York Times for their Editorials, but there is an exception to the rule today.

In an Open-Editorial by Jean Smith, she discusses a topic of presidential politics that gets little attention, the Eisenhower type of voters.

My Apologies

My apologies for those of whom visit this blog daily or even weekly, my posts on a one to two day basis have been down as of late. I suppose summer has just got to me. I plan on writing plenty this week leading up to the  state convention. Check back soon.
