Dealers, drivers riding high on SUV tax loophole – people are often asking if there is a single handy list of vehicles weighing more than 6,000 pounds. I have never seen one. However, most manufacturers have at least one SUV or truck exceeding that limit. Dealers will be all too glad to point them out to you. You can even splurge on something like this bulletproof Cadillac. This article doesn’t say how much it weighs; but with all of that armor, it must be well over the magic 6,000 pound threshold.

Schwarzenegger prepares to undo Davis actions – It will be as close as Arnold can get in regard to imitating the time travel exploits of his Terminator character.
Torturous state-local fiscal relationship reaching climax – It’s been 25 years since Proposition 13, and they’re still whining about not being able to adjust to its restrictions on excessive property taxation.

Double Taxation of Savings in the Crosshairs – Unfortunately, this idea will be pilloried with the same mantra of the left, “tax cuts for the evil rich” because under their view of the world only the wealthiest scum can afford to put money into savings accounts.
Betting on Gambling is a Risky Wager – As many people have noted, lotteries and other forms of gambling are nothing more than a tax on stupid people.
Man Asks To Buy 7 Million Lottery Tickets – Back when the PRC started its lottery, I wrote an article on how, even if a person could guarantee being a winner by buying every single combination, it would still be a stupid move. The tickets have to be bought with real money today, while the winnings are paid out over 20 or more years. Anyone with that kind of money would have to be a moron to make such an “investment.”
The Clinton Snipe Hunt. Twenty years later, Arkansas is still poor. – Here in Arkansas, they have always said “Thank God for Mississippi” as an explanation for our being the 49th ranked state in terms of education quality. Billary Clinton forced through the biggest tax increase in state history to raise it from 49th to 49th. Of course, as they did while in the White House, they took credit for their intentions. With liberals, results are never important; only intentions.

Arnold to repeal auto fee Monday – Retroactive to October 1, effectively canceling out this bit of damage caused by Grey-Out Doofus.
Graydon “Quadrillion” Carter, Vanity Fair’s editor, is so bad he makes Krugman look good. – Since the level of most American’s education of how economics works is (by design) so low, the masses believe the outright lies told by the elite media, such as that tax cuts cause deficits.

Stopping the Internet tax – Includes a good use of a quote from George Harrison’s “TaxMan” song; something I have referred to on several occasions as being all too prophetic.
Conservative Bumper Stickers – Many of these are out of date; but they’re still funny.
Repub Guru Compares Taxes to Genocide – While the tone of this article is to ridicule anyone who would make such a comparison, that analogy is completely appropriate. In today’s America, it has become quite acceptable to justify downright evil and immoral actions as valid because they are only being done against a small portion of our populace.
As I have continuously mentioned, our rulers have exploited envy to such a degree that there is nothing too dastardly that can be done to the “evil rich.” While it is true that the estate tax (aka death tax) currently only applies to a limited few in the top tier of wealth, it is an entirely immoral thing to do to people, to strip their families of the wealth they worked their butts off to accumulate.
It is, as I have also mentioned on several occasions, right from the Communist Manifesto to deny people the right to pass their things on to anyone but the supreme central government. I, for one, have always believed that communism, with its denial of freedoms of choice and private property ownership, is itself inherently evil.
Anyone who believes it’s okay to deny a certain portion of our citizens the right to keep their things is, as Grover Norquist said, no different from the Germans who supported the elimination of a certain portion of their populace. Wrong is wrong, whether it happens to everyone or just one single person.
