… is going to be a good year for dying. The Death Tax goes away for 2010, but have no fear, it will return in 2011 bigger and better as it used to be before 2001. 55 percent over 1 million dollars.
Happy New Year Everybody.

Monday, September 21st, 2009… is still a tax.
For some reason the President seems to think that requiring a person to buy insurance or be taxed is not a tax.
This guy really thinks little, of us.

Sorry to see this happen especailly considering the 8 republican defectors could have made the difference.
Fortunately it will probably not pass the Senate. Fingers Crossed.
CBO Grossly Underestimates Costs of Cap and Trade
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009Last week, the Congressional Budget Office released their analysis of the Waxman-Markey climate change bill that had proponents of the bill claiming we could save the planet for just $175 per household. That was the figure CBO estimated cap and trade would cost households in 2020, which “includes the cost of restructuring the production and use of energy and of payments made to foreign entities under the program, but it does not include the economic benefits and other benefits of the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and the associated slowing of climate change.”
The trouble with the analysis is that costs are grossly underestimated. The trouble with legislation is that it will have virtually no impact on climate.
Flat Tax Fred
Friday, November 30th, 2007I swoon at the idea of ridding ourselves of the IRS and would celebrate the day of it ever happened.
Now if I did not have more than enough reasons to vote for Fred Thompson. He has added yet another reason. A Flat Tax, abolishment of the death tax and the Alternative Minimum Tax and a cut in the corporate income tax rate to 27% from 35%. Now granted it falls short of getting rid of the IRS, but it does give a choice between the the old system and a better system. It is also a good start to eventually dumping the whole mess.
No other candidate has put forth more conservative policies than Fred Thompson and that says a lot about who the true conservative is, in this race.

Warren Buffet: Go Ahead
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Warren Buffet thinks he should pay more taxes. I say go right ahead, but don’t go wishing your desires to give the government more money to waist on the rest of us. Some of us think the government already has too much money.
Smoking for SCHIP
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Excellent PSA and a wonderful illustration as to how ridiculous this whole expansion of SCHIP really is.
Bart Peterson’s Tax Increase
Saturday, October 27th, 2007This past Friday was the first Friday that the Bart Peterson Tax Increase for Emergency Services for areas that don’t have the tax base to support it, so increase the tax on everyone in Marion County to pay for it, because Bart Peterson is a democrat and does not know how to cut spending, went into effect. I feel quite safe and as far as I am concerned not in need of this extra service. But I certainly noticed a significant portion of my paycheck missing because of this increase.
As long as a democrat is Mayor I am sure I will never see that portion of my pay check again. That is why it is so important that we elect Greg Ballard as Mayor this November 6th and get Bart Peterson out of office.
Oh in the event that you came across this post for whatever reason, I am pissed because Bart Peterson raised the Marion County Tax from 1% to 1.65% and I want him out of office. Thanks for stopping by. Come back anytime.

Gov. Mitch Daniels Property-Tax Reform
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007I am all for consumer based taxes. If I have to pay a higher Sales Tax to pay lower Property Taxes, let’s do it!
It is more fair and shares the burden of taxes more equitably throughout the populist.
GOP leaders sign on to new tax plan
Senate President Pro Tempore David Long, R-Ft. Wayne, and House Minority Leader Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, both emphatically endorsed Gov. Mitch Daniels property-tax reform plan today.
In a Statehouse news conference, the Republican leaders called Daniels’ proposal the most important property-tax reform since the 1970s. Both Long and Bosma also announced they would seek to jump-start the legislative process required to pass the governor’s plan, which would permanently cap property taxes through a constitutional amendment.
Now let’s hope that they can actually get something done. Faster the better.
