Comment on Where do my federal tax dollars go? by Business Tax Guru

Business Tax Guru — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 03:51:58 +0000

I’ve been engaged in taxations for lengthier then I care to admit, both on the personal side (all my working life-time!!) and from a legal point of view since satisfying the bar and following up on tax law. I’ve rendered a lot of advice and redressed a lot of wrongs, and I must say that what you’ve put up makes complete sense. Please uphold the good work – the more people know the better they’ll be equipped to comprehend with the tax man, and that’s what it’s all about.

If abortion clinics were required to save the lives of babies that were accidentally born, would that not defeat the purpose?

Comment on Are Republicans just the party of “No”? by sanityinjection

Yes, it has long been a truism that the House is more partisan and less inclined to centrist views than the Senate. The bigger the electoral territory, the harder it is to get elected with views outside the mainstream.

You ever notice that House Democrats are always more pro-bureaucracy, pro-tax, pro-mandate than Senate Democrats? My theory is that members of the House are often younger and less experienced than senators, and therefore much more partisan and idealistic.

Robert Tracinski underscores the point that it’s not about GOP conservatives vs. moderates – it’s about the core issue of the Republican party, big government vs. small government:

Update: Scozzafava has endorsed the Democrat candidate in the race, Bill Owens. Check out her glowing remarks about the person she was running against just a few days ago:

OK, I get that she’s ticked off at Hoffman, but this serves to illustrate that there are two different definitions out there of the phrase “moderate Republican”. For most of us, a “moderate Republican” is someone who emphasizes fiscal discipline and low taxes as opposed to social conservativism. For the liberal media -and obviously for Scozzafava – a “moderate Republican” is a Democrat.

Comment on “I’ll stop.” by Marque

Thanks for referring me to the Noonan column. I’ve had the same thought a lot lately: “Do they really think they can just say this stuff and think people don’t pay attention?” On any given day, sure, the majority of people have bigger fish to fry than listen to the latest emanations from Barney Frank or Nancy Pelosi. But they say such ridiculous things, with such regularity, and with no attempt at justification, that over time the effect is to destroy one’s own credibility.

People forget that one of the premier accomplishments of Ronald Reagan and his fellow travelers was that they were willing to look the liberals in Washington in the face, laugh at them, and say, “That’s just not true.” No one had said that to them in 30 years, because everyone was playing by the same rules. Well, these same folks have had six years where their endless berating of George *#@&$@#*(!! Bush shielded their own views from any meaningful criticism by the media. But they’ve become no more sensible, and their arguments no less laughable.

The reason it took the Republican Revolution twelve years to collapse was that their ideas were right, but their representatives were flawed, and became increasingly so. The Democrats’ revolution may fail in less than six years because their ideas are wrong, and their representatives are no better. Once the Obama halo is removed, there is no there there, as Ms. Noonan would say.
