Tax Everything

Does anyone get the feeling that the government wants to tax literally everything? The Federal Trade Commission wants to tax online news resources like HuffPo and Drudge and give the money to the outdated and nearly useless print media.

The Year’s End

I can’t say that I’m unhappy to see 2009 go off the desk and into the files. It hasn’t completely been a downer, but it has been one hell of a year, and I don’t mean that in a good way. What stands out formost for me is the body count. When I turned forty, I figured...

Death of the Dollar

  Over the last three months, banks put 63 percent of their new cash into euros and yen — not the greenbacks — a nearly complete reversal of the dollar’s onetime dominance for reserves, according to Barclays Capital. The dollar’s share of new cash in the central banks was down to 37 percent —...

Death By Misadventure

September 1, 2009
By Scooter

I heard a phrase on the news the other day. The talking head was prattling on about a deceased member of the Rolling Stones and the investigation of his death being reopened. The original cause of death was listed as, “Death By Misadventure.” I hadn’t heard that one before, but in my current state...

Kool-Aid

Cap and Tax. DeathCare. Immigration ‘Reform’. Spendulus legislation. Bailouts. More bailouts. An already mammoth government growing even more. Already ridiculous government spending getting even more outrageous. And they’re planning on spending more.

The Monster

May 21, 2009
By Scooter

  How can you tell that a politician is lying?   Everyone say it with me…’Their lips are moving.’   I’m really digging on the new administration’s idea of not raising taxes on anyone who makes under $250,000. We can all agree on that being one of their big promises, right? I know I...
