Raising Taxes On "The Rich"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, May 16, 2008 8:36:29 AM
But who ARE these "rich" of which they speak? The last I heard it was anyone making more than $100,000 a year per family. Funny. In today's "post-inflationary" economy, $100,000 ain't much. But they want to tax those who have two people working and earning that much. Notice they say nothing about taxing the money made by "coupon-clippers" whose parents and grandparents made the money on which they regularly profit while damning profit made by those still working? Should we start keeping track of how many of their "programs" are to be funded by "taxing the rich?" By my count, there aren't enough "rich" to fund all the "programs" they propose. "Now never mind that the very people that the Democrats love to raise taxes on are the people who provide most of our jobs. Though they may be the heart of America's small business owners, it's still easy to demagogue them as simply being 'rich.' Democrats love this stuff ... and that's the whole point." (Neal Boortz)

Economy Going Bad? Raise Taxes!

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, May 16, 2008 8:33:55 AM
"California lawmakers love this theory. Seems tax revenues are declining of late. Something about a weak economy. State Senator Denise Ducheny advises voters that the state’s budget deficit has now climbed to $14 billion. Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez says: “The problem is so severe that we don’t have a choice but to raise taxes.” Right. No choice but to weaken the economy even further. Make it even harder for people to pay their bills." Why? Why do Democrats automatically think "raising taxes" will make the economy better? It's because they're stupid. They've seen time and time again that LOWERING taxes causes an INCREASE in tax revenues by STIMULATING the economy. "Giving back" money they overtaxed us for does nothing on a continuing basis, though it MIGHT do something TEMPORARY. The difference between ignorance and stupidity is lack of knowledge. Ignorance is lack of knowledge. Stupidity is refusing to acknowledge facts when proof is offered. Every time you suggest to a Democrat that lowering taxes would make things better he laughs at you and starts calling you names because he can't argue the facts. (Paul Jacob/Common Sense)

Postal Increases More Often

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Friday, May 16, 2008 8:30:54 AM
Does anybody wonder why first class postal rates seem to go up every little whipstitch? There's a good reason for that. It's all this government-protected monopoly has left to use to "fleece America." They have serious competition everywhere else BUT in first class mail. There is competition even in EXPRESS mail, and the private companies predictably do it better. So the only place they can still control absolutely, while raising prices unmercifully is the one place that is STILL a monopoly: first class mail. They hope we won't realize that their main cost outside of manpower, transportation, has gone down precipitously as we find new and better ways to move mail and freight cheaper and faster. The Post Office was invented when the ONLY way to move mail was horseback and their system hasn't changed a whole lot since. So they hope to "make hay while the sun shines" while we still quietly "pay up" to mail our letters while doing more and more of our personal communicating by e-mail. E-mail is something that is going to make the cost of first mail go DOWN in the future, because it's hard for them to compete with instantaneous communication at no, or VERY low cost with their "three to five day" delivery for almost 50 cents a letter. The only advantage they have there is when an enclosure that cannot be sent as an attachment is required. The post office's time as any kind of a monopoly is short, whether or not they believe it. If they keep raising their first class rates as much, and as fast as they have been, one day soon they'll be "out of business" while we merrily e-mail each other and send packages by Fed Ex or UPS. Postal employees are like a "cult." If you EVER worked in a post office, in ANY capacity, you're "their friend." I once worked in a post office as a security officer employed by a private security firm. But that makes no difference to ANY postal employee who knows that. I'm treated the same way as a full-fledged postal retiree today when I go into a post office. (Don Beaudreaux/Café Hayek)

"Foolish Delusion"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, May 15, 2008 4:01:14 PM
It IS a "foolish delusion" for Barack Obama to think "talking to" the Islamic terrorists will do any good. And Bush was NOT talking about Obama. He was talking about EVERY liberal who thinks this way. For Obama to whine that Bush was talking about HIM is a presumption on his part. It's not all about Obama, though he is just the latest Democrat liberal) to think this way. But for him to think he is the ONLY one is the heights of ego. (Fox News)

Bi-Partisanship

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, May 15, 2008 3:58:44 PM
What is it? To the Democrats (liberals) it is agreeing with them and "crossing the aisle" to THEIR position. Have you ever seen a Democrat "crossing the aisle" and embracing a conservative position? No, and you never will. Whenever they talk about "bi-partisanship," they mean Republicans need to abandon their principles and come over to the Democrat position. They really think the majority of Americans don't know that, and for the most part, they're right. Those who "don't pay attention to politics" until just before an election don't. Those of us who "pay attention" to politics all the time KNOW when their pockets are being picked and will not allow it to happen. We will NOT "abandon our principles," ever. No matter how much the liberals want us to do so. Has anybody noticed that three of the most violent confrontations against the "power of government" (Waco, the Oklahoma bombing and the forced deportation of a six-year-old child at gunpoint) came during the Clinton administration? Was that "bi-partisanship?" (Lew Rockwell)

How Do "basic Premises" Pass By?

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, May 15, 2008 3:40:40 PM
This writer refers to the thinking in America that caused the election of Ronald Reagan as a "historical moment." What's that? He says it has "passed." But how do basic premises "pass?" What caused Reagan to be elected is that he was not afraid to talk about the "rise of socialism" in this nation and the need to reverse it, plus the need to defeat communism wherever it raises its "ugly head." This is a "basic premise" which cannot "pass." We are STILL "fighting socialism" and will continue to do so until those idiots who believe it can work to the point where they want to FORCE it onto all of us start finding out the truth. There will probably not be another Ronald Reagan in my lifetime --which is tragic--but his ideas are too powerful to not be brought up again by another highly-intelligent man (or woman). Hopefully, this person will not be destroyed by the liberals before he/she can do anything to reverse this move toward collectivism (socialism). When this person comes, the liberals will do everything they can to destroy him/her. That's a "given." (News Busters)

Hiring the "Token Conservative"

Posted by The New THOMA$ REPORT on Thursday, May 15, 2008 8:00:00 AM
Just as, in the past, they hired a "token black" to keep people from thinking they were racist, now at least one VERY liberal school is "seeking": a "conservative professor" for its staff. There are many universities that are VERY liberal, but none more so than CU. Their search for a "conservative professor" tells me that this is simply a PR stunt. If they REALLY wanted one, they know where to look. Look in their files they keep on people they consider "kooks." You know, the ones they've refused to hire for many years because of their views. People like Thomas Sowell or Walter E. Williams. But they would never hire Sowell or Williams because they couldn't "control" him. They're looking for someone who is "barely" conservative would do and say what they tell him, while they CLAIMED he was a conservative. (Bud Peterson/Wall Street Journal)
