A few months ago I noted that, in my opinion, Obama and his administration, with the passage of his “healthcare” plan (aka Obamacare), had openly declared war on the American people.

An insight into how liberals and conservatives differ not just in politics but also ways of thinking.

The Onondaga Nation will likely stop selling national-brand cigarettes next month and rely solely on Indian-made brands at its smoke shop south of Syracuse, a nation attorney said Thursday. “Unless something changes, as of Sept. 1 we won’t be able to sell major brands that are untaxed,” said lawyer Joe Heath. “It doesn’t make that much sense to sell them at the same price as people can get them at the convenience store across the street.” The Onondagas sold 1.2 million cartons of cigarettes last year tax-free. On Wednesday, the state will require wholesalers who supply Indian reservation stores to...

If you could collect $100 for every claim a political candidate slings your way about Minnesota's business taxes, you probably could start a respectable small business. The political points are simple: Minnesota's business taxes are so onerous they drive companies and jobs to other states. Or, from another view, companies use loopholes to avoid paying their fair share of the costs of state and local services. Of course, the issue is not at all simple. More than any other, it offers proof that statistics can be manipulated to support almost any point.

The people of the United States have been blessed to live in a country that has experienced, over the past seventy years, the most sustained period of overwhelming prosperity in the history of mankind. However, due to the staggering growth of government, unrealistic expectations of the citizenry, and a new global economy, the current makeup of the economic engine of the country is such that it will not be able to generate sufficient wealth to finance the nation's long-term financial commitments, jobs, and desires of the populace.

Britain has sunk into a pit of debt which is five times deeper than previously feared, with the country now owing the equivalent of £200,000 per household. Instead of the £1 trillion reading normally presented as the nation's debt, the UK is in the red by closer to £5 trillion... a broader set of ONS figures taking in Government liabilities show unfunded public service pension obligations could add another £1.2 trillion and liabilities in unfunded state pension schemes a further £1.35 trillion. The sum is almost four times the size of the UK's total gross domestic product in 2009...a more...

Dr. Ron Paul explains why income tax and the FED are contradictory to individualist freedom. Most freepers disagree w/ Dr. Paul on foreign policy and I do too but this video is worth listening to.

From my forever in progress book on the history of taxation in the United States entitled The Power to Destroy. Chief Justice John Marshall penned the famous words: “…the power to tax involves the power to destroy.” "In FY 2008, the U.S. Congress pushed through $17.2 billion in pork attached to 12 appropriations bills. There were many moments to cherish but we will consider but one here; certainly not the biggest earmark but one of the most interesting. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), a nineteen term representative, asked for and got $1,950,000 for a library and archives at the Charles B....

Mention the new "tan tax" in a major news outlet and cries of discrimination and reverse racism often follow.

, Print This Post The United States is confronting trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, and Congressional liberals seem finally to realize that the exploding debt has become a major problem. The President created a debt commission to consider the problem, and probably to recommend a raft of tax increases intended to close the deficit.
