Maybe some of you have heard.  I had heard, but forgot until this morning when I checked my bank account.  I get paid on the 15th, which is Sunday, so it rolls forward to today.  I took a look at my deposit and noticed it was less than normal.  I thought, hmmm that’s funny.  Wonder [...]

As unemployment rises and foreclosures increase, the National Association of Realtors continues to lobby for an extension of the $8,000 homebuyer credit. Actually, the NAR is pushing for the amount to be increased to $15,000 and/or the credit to be extended to all homebuyers, not just first-timers.
All I can say is, “Give it [...]

Probably the most annoying thing to hear about lately, even more than twitter, is cash for clunkers.  It’s all over the news, CBNC, radio, etc.  I was out car shopping this past weekend and everywhere I called and went the first thing I was asked was if I was going to turn in a clunker. 
This [...]

Every political party and politician are guilty of making populist statements during elections that would be nearly impossible to uphold once in office.  One message that was clearly made by the Obama campaign over and over again was that taxes would not be increased on the middle class.  If there was one thing he made clear [...]

I hate it when people don’t pay their fair share of taxes.  The top 1%, those making over $410,000 a year only paid 40.4% of the income taxes collected by the IRS.  All of the taxpayers in the bottom 95% combined paid only 39.4%.  That means 1.4 million people pay more than 134 million people [...]

Do a google search and type in the following letters - legali.  I find this topic so fascinating.  Isn’t it interesting that this movement would gain strength during a time of massive government deficits?  The most likely time to get people to overlook their moral compass is when they are imprisoned by debt.  I also think [...]

I feel like so much in politics is based on how it is spun.  People can buy into anything if you spin it the right way.  I’ve been thinking about the progressive tax system lately.  The dems on Capital Hill want to pay for the socialization of healthcare through a “surcharge” on couples earning over [...]

President Obama just finished a news conference in which he tried to rally support for the cap and tax, oops I mean cap and trade bill.  He laid out in clear, understandable, undeniable language all the benefits of cap and trade and how there really is no downside.  One point he made was that they [...]

The Boston Globe reported today that Saturday night the Obamas had a date night.  That’s great.  All married couples should take time out of their schedule to spend time together.  What did they do for their date night?  Well, two days before the filing of GM’s bankruptcy, during a huge recession, and record deficits, of [...]

Today California votes on props 1A - 1F.  You can read about these props here.  Polling suggests props 1A - 1E will fail and 1F will pass.  I would love for this to happen.  Basically, we’ll be telling Sacramento that we are sick of how they run government and how they waste so much money [...]
