Obama Claus - Gifts for everone

Here is a rather long list of all the new spending Obama says he'll do

Just today in Sarasota, Fla., the Democratic presidential nominee said that he'd:

  • "give a tax break to 95 percent of Americans who work every day and get taxes taken out of their paycheck every week";
  • "eliminate income taxes on Social Security for seniors making under $50,000";
  • "give homeowners and working parents additional tax breaks";
  • not increase taxes on anyone if they "make under $250,000; you will not see your taxes increase by a single dime –- not your income taxes, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax";
  • "end those breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas";
  • "give tax breaks to companies that invest right here in the United States";
  • "eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and start-up companies that are the engine of job creation in this country";
  • "create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling roads, and bridges, and schools -- by laying broadband lines to reach every corner of the country";
  • "invest $15 billion a year in renewable sources of energy to create five million new energy jobs over the next decade";
  • "reopen old factories, old plants, to build solar panels, and wind turbines";
  • build "a new electricity grid";
  • "build the fuel efficient cars of tomorrow";
  • "eliminate the oil we import from the Middle East in 10 years";
  • "lower premiums" for those who already have health insurance;
  • "if you don't have health insurance, you'll be able to get the same kind of health insurance that members of Congress give themselves";
  • "end discrimination by insurance companies to the sick and those who need care the most";
  • "invest in early childhood education";
  • "recruit an army of new teachers";
  • "pay our teachers higher salaries, give them more support. But ... also demand higher standards and more accountability";
  • "make a deal with every young person who's here and every young person in America: If you are willing to commit yourself to national service, whether it's serving in our military or in the Peace Corps, working in a veterans home or a homeless shelter, then we will guarantee that you can afford to go to college no ifs ands or buts";
  • "stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq whole the Iraqis have a huge surplus";
  • "end this war in Iraq";
  • "finish the fight and snuff out al Qaeda and bin Laden";
  • "increase our ground troops and our investments in the finest fighting force in the world";
  • "invest in 21st century technologies so that our men and women have the best training and equipment when they deploy into combat and the care and benefits they have earned when they come home";
  • "No more homeless veterans"; and
  • "no more fighting for disability payments."

This on top of his 30-minute infomercial last night, and the myriad other pledges and promises he's made throughout the last 21 months.

Obama tax plan's roots date back 30 years

Obama tax plan's roots date back 30 years -- OrlandoSentinel.com

Yet Obama calls it "Change" and gets away with it. Under Obama, 44% (or more) of all American's will pay NO INCOME TAX. All they need is another 6% or so and they can elect anyone they want. [This Post Continues after the jump...]

Is NASA's Ares doomed?

Sentinel exclusive: Is NASA's Ares doomed? -- OrlandoSentinel.com

It's not looking good. Personally I've always thought the "just use a SRB with a 2nd stage" idea was too simplistic. It's a great idea...but was it the BEST idea for a first stage? We'll never know because other ideas weren't fully investigated, or so it seems. [This Post Continues after the jump...]

The Obama Temptation

The Corner on National Review Online:

"Obama's entire campaign is built on class warfare and human envy. The 'change' he peddles is not new. We've seen it before. It is change that diminishes individual liberty for the soft authoritarianism of socialism. It is a populist appeal that disguises government mandated wealth redistribution as tax cuts for the middle class, falsely blames capitalism for the social policies and government corruption (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) that led to the current turmoil in our financial markets, fuels contempt for commerce and trade by stigmatizing those who run successful small and large businesses, and exploits human imperfection as a justification for a massive expansion of centralized government."
Silly me was hoping he would win the primary instead of Hillary. But I thought America was smart enough to see through this guy. He's pure style of substance. He promises UNITY but he's too far left for me. He Promises CHANGE but it's really nothing new. I hope we wake up before he's elected or at least soon thereafter.

Distributism and Socialism:

Distributism and Socialism: Part Two:

"Why must there be institutions so large that they cannot be permitted to fail, and must be rescued by the common purse?"
This has been my point all alone. I don't think we need much detailed oriented regulation. Big we do need "size" regulation. Not just size limits on monopolies like Standard Oil or AT&T but size limits on single companies within a sector. If a company gets "Too Big" to be "allowed to fail" then it must be broken up into smaller companies at CAN be allowed to fail. If it's a bank or investment firm, there needs to be some protection to the money in the accounts, but the organization that runs the company should be allowed to totally fail.

The real fear of that real possibility of failure will do more to control the market and the risk the company takes than any regulation could hope to do. [This Post Continues after the jump...]

Obama and the Tax Tipping Point

TaxProf Blog: Obama and the Tax Tipping Point


In 2006, the latest year for which we have Census data, 220 million Americans were eligible to vote and 89 million -- 40% -- paid no income taxes. ... This will jump to 49% when Mr. Obama's cash credits remove 18 million more voters from the tax rolls.

But that's OK, he's only going to tax the "rich", right?

They came first for [those making $250,000], And I didn’t speak up because I [didn't make $250,000];
And then they came for [those making $150,000], And I didn’t speak up because I [didn't make $150,000];
And then they came for [those making $100,000], And I didn’t speak up because I [didn't make $100,000];
And then . . . they came for me [because I made $75,000] . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.

Why I'm Voting Democrat

I got this in an email from a Friend...

Why I'm Voting Democrat

  • I'm voting Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
  • I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine… as long as nobody is offended by it.
  • I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that all the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain this weekend or not somehow CAN tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.
  • I'm voting Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my rear it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

Florida Red & Blue ask for investigation

Amendment 2 opponents ask for investigation | floridatoday.com | FLORIDA TODAY

I wonder if there is any merit to this. I don't know about the financial issues (but they should be fully enforced).

However, the SayNo2 (or similar group) ads have been down write untruthful - saying the amendment would stop unmarried couples of any gender from getting existing benefits. This is demonstrably false. So SayNo2 can hardly take the high ground on this one even if their claims are true.

I just went to their website and their ad is so close to an outright lie that it's no different from one. They hid behind the word "could". What they say "could" happen would require an existing and recent Florida supreme court ruling or over-ruled. Possible - but hardly likely. Yes that "could" happen, but I also "could" win the lottery or start a successful "write-in" campaign for President... but give me a break.. none of those are really going to happen and they know it.

It's a shame they can't argue for the REAL issue. [This Post Continues after the jump...]

San Francisco weighs decriminalizing prostitution

San Francisco weighs decriminalizing prostitution

The ballot question technically would not legalize prostitution since state law still prohibits it, but the measure would eliminate the power of local law enforcement officials to go after prostitutes.
This is interesting... regardless of the issue of prostitution itself, do a city have the "power" to inforce state law or the "responsibility" to do so. If I just have the power to do something, then I can choose to do it or now. But I can't choose to not do my responsibilities.

I'm all in favor of putting power and responsibility at the lowest level possible, and if this was a part of a larger "cities rights" package (as in "states rights") I could support it as a compromise. But as it is, I don't think a city has the right to NOT enforce a state law (just like a city can't ignore a right guaranteed in the state constitution, or ignore a state court ruling, etc)

Interesting times we live in these days.... [This Post Continues after the jump...]

Obama's Tax Cuts = "Welfare"

Obama plans to "cut" the taxes of the 46 millions Americans that pay NO Income tax. How? How can he "cut" zero? by giving away money, that's how. People that pay NO TAXES will get what is called a "refund". It's not really a refund or a tax cut because they paied no taxes, so its just free oney.. i.e. "welfare"

If it just wanted to say he plan on increasing no strings attached welfare payments, that would be one thing, but disguising it as tax related is just silly, and dishonest.

State By State Voter Fraud List

GayPatriot » State By State, Fraud By Electoral Fraud [This Post Continues after the jump...]

ACORN voter fraud proven

This is great..
I think the left talked too much about how Bush "Stole" both the 2000 and 2004 election. It was great for whipping up support and bashing bush, but some of their supporters actually believed it and are acting similarly now. If Bush supporters did it (and got away with it) then they can do it too, right? The only problem is they are getting caught. Bush supports never got caught, which strongly suggests to me that no one cheated in 2000 or 2004, but conspiracy theories will still prevail.

My only concern is that NO ONE CARES. There will be actual evidence that Obama supporters stole (or tried to steal) this election, but no one will care. We've heard so much about how the republicans have done it (despite no evidence) that a lot of people think it's OK and expected now.

Our Democracy is indeed in trouble...

He talks about unity a lot, but I fear once elected he will govern from the left. He has done nothing to really tempt me to vote for him other than vague promises of "change".

Trillions Disappear - But Where Did Money Go?

If the company is still in business, then their stock still has some "real" value. But if the company goes bust, then their stock is indeed worthless and the money is really gone.

The whole stock market could be trading "baseball" cards and I think people would understand the risk they are taking by buying stock. It's only worth what the company pays in dividends (if anything) or what someone else is willing to pay for it. Like a baseball card is only worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, it has not real value itself.

Stocks do have some real values, and I think ALL stocks should pay dividends. If owning stock is ownership in the company, then you should get a part of the profits the company makes. But I don't think it really works like that anymore, if it ever did.
