Treasury chief has to sell tax cuts – That will be quite an uphill battle against the massive volume of outright lies by the left, claiming that the tax cuts are boondoggles only for the evil rich and that they will cause a humongous budget deficit. The left is terrified of the tax cuts stimulating the economy and giving Bush an easy ride to a second term in the White House. Sabotaging any chance for an economic recovery is the only hope Queen Hillary has for beating Bush and getting her third term as co-president.
Lawmakers try to chip away at Prop 13’s two-thirds vote majority – Just as with the Constitution or any other limit placed on the power able to be waged by our rulers, we need to be diligent to prevent increasing encroachment by money hungry folks. The PRC rulers just can’t abide by the two-thirds majority requirement to raise taxes and want to bring it back down to a simple 50% vote.
It’s not just the Senate that refuses to go along with Bush. What were all those promises by the GOP about how much they could accomplish when they controlled both Houses and the White House? It doesn’t seem to be going as smoothly as they had envisioned.
Bush criticizes Senate’s ‘little-bitty’ tax-relief proposal – For all of the criticism Bush receives for occasionally mangling the English language, I got a kick out of his use of this phrase yesterday. His point that we need the full tax break now, and not spread out over ten years, is right on the money.
More . . . or less of a tax cut? – More on the Wall Street Journal’s confusion over the level of compromise the Bush team is willing to accept at this point in the process.
As I’ve mentioned before, the PRC tax collectors make their IRS equivalents seem like pussycats in comparison. The California Franchise Tax Board actually trains IRS employees on techniques for squeezing more money out of people. The FTB has often acted with impunity all over the world in pursuit of tax money. In a recent court case where the FTB was hot on the trail of someone in Nevada, the victim has been given the green light to pursue the tax collectors for damages for their abusive tactics. This is very good news for the protection of our rights and has been reported in:
