My View On “James Bovard: The Food”

The Michigan officials erred in Mr. Fick's case. Lottery winnings are taxable income tax estimator, so they are income, not assets. Surely Michigan has some rule about average monthly income in the months preceding the application for food stamps? This large lottery income, averaged over the required months, would have rendered the applicant ineligible. If this approach is taken when he comes up for review (I assume all states have some annual review process More

An Opinion On “Bipartisan Debt Talks Grow More Contentious”

Two points: there are obviously areas where both sides are in agreement so write a bill that includes those issues and pass it as a first step. second, we hear time and again a push for reducing tax deductions 2012 deductions, subsidies and reforming the tax code combined with reducing taxes. I am fine with that, but reduce the deductions, subsidies and reform the tax code first before reducing any taxes. I doubt very much that either the Reps or Dems More

Opinion On “Stephen Moore: Obamanonics vs. Reaganomics”

Raising taxes when are taxes due 2012 we have less than 1% growth in GDP would further damage our economy. The evil rich as Obama defines the term is anyone making over $200,000 year or in other words, the small business owner thousandaires that create most of the jobs in this country. If you raise their taxes what do you think is going to happen to the already anemic economy? An explosion of growth perhaps? Not likely. Obama is a rigid ideologue who is More

My View On “Possible Reprieve for Train Tunnel”

Mr. Gold, the money is not there! It is not possible to accept Federal money as the Federal govt has no way to repay the debt. The only choice for visionary action is to issue bonds. If this is impossible, then the project must not be done. Also the idea of cost overruns is unacceptable. A cost must be a cost. If they anticipiate cost overruns, they should put these estimates in the contract! Question: A federal tax brackets official met with Christie More

A Response To “House Postpones Vote on Boehner Debt Plan”

Tim, If Liberals are dependent on the Federal govt and at the same time feed it the with their federal tax brackets dollars more than anyone else....then that means Liberals are just getting their own money back from the Federal govt....your logic is wacky. Republicans claim they pay most of the Federal taxes......why would Conservatives do that? The Republicans have run the Federal Govt for 26 out of the last 40 years and if after all those many years More

Some Thoughts On “Stephen Moore: A Fairness Quiz for the President”

How old are you? Are you old enough to remember what the economy was like in the 1970s, after years of the kinds of 2012 tax brackets policies you've been selectively advocating here with selective use of statistics? You are most confused. People's incomes in real terms have been actually greater than the statistics would tell, partly because those incomes buy more than they bought in the 1970s, as a result of the worst inflation this country has ever More

Thoughts On “Harvey Silverglate: Yes Means Yes—Except on Campus”

... but there is one consistent attitude/psychology/mindset that I've seen consistently in the younger generation: they get absolutely furious when someone older than they -- even twice as old, or more -- makes the slightest suggestion that maybe they don't know everything about life. And that, is why I have little hope for the future of America. You're destined for ignorance, if you don't learn from others, particularly those who are older, wiser, more More

Some Thoughts On “Review & Outlook: The Anti”

Anyone that has ever filed to collect Social Security Disability should be the firs withholding calculatort people to jump on the bandwagon against any mandated government health insurance. The difficulty in proving you are disabled is an almost insurmountable problem. There is a law firm that advertises on television that they will take care of the legal requirements in order to obtain SSD benefits. If you have to hire counsel to help you get SSD benefits More

A Commentary On “Review & Outlook: The Buffett Alternative Tax”

Bob, you still confuse lower rates and total taxes. The only way that rich pay a lower rates is in capital gains tax rate 2012 gains. On earnings they pay a higher rate. So if they have a higher income from capital gains than earnings they may pay a smaller percent. But the total amount is much greater. Allowing everyone to keep more of their own money would create a situation where more people would be able to have greater capital and more capital gains More

My Take On “Cain Jumps to Lead Among Republicans”

It could be phased in over three years.For example, it could be 3-3-3 the first year while income and payroll taxes are reduced by 1/3 at the same time. Because of the sales tax calculator tax, we would probably be collecting more than under the previous byzantine systems. The second year could be 6-6-6 while reducing existing taxes by 2/3. At the beginning of the third year, we could cut over to the 9-9-9. This system would have the effect of collecting More
