The 2006 elections which swept the Democrats into power was a direct result of 2 things, which the Democrats seemingly have done nothing about but still campaign on : 1) the Iraq War 2) the exploding deficits + size of the government Guess what? We're still in Iraq 8 years later and the Democrats are making Item #2 worse by the Read More]]> http://www.remax-uprastan.net/a-commentary-on-boehner-urges-debt-panel-to-tackle-tax-code-revamp/feed/ 0 http://www.remax-uprastan.net/a-response-to-peter-berkowitz-the-myth-of-conservative-purity/ http://www.remax-uprastan.net/a-response-to-peter-berkowitz-the-myth-of-conservative-purity/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:25:03 +0000 admin http://www.remax-uprastan.net/a-response-to-peter-berkowitz-the-myth-of-conservative-purity/ We can pretty much agree on social issues at the Federal level: they are not Federal issues. The fight should only be at the local level. The reason that social issues nevertheless arise at the Federal level is primarily the vast size and scope of the Federal government (including the court system). For example, abortion, gay marriage, etc., were purely State issue until Federal courts got involved. The only areas which are legitimate points of disagreement Read More]]> http://www.remax-uprastan.net/a-response-to-peter-berkowitz-the-myth-of-conservative-purity/feed/ 0 http://www.remax-uprastan.net/thoughts-on-how-to-fix-the-u.s.-credit/ http://www.remax-uprastan.net/thoughts-on-how-to-fix-the-u.s.-credit/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:24:25 +0000 admin http://www.remax-uprastan.net/thoughts-on-how-to-fix-the-u.s.-credit/ We could also get rid of commercial working tax credit calculator bureaus and all of us would suddenly be able to say we had perfect credit histories. Sorry, this article is like saying referees and umpires should be eliminated from professional sports leagues. Our national credit rating took a hit because Congress acted irresponsibly. Instead of realizing how close to the edge our spending has put us, they kept right on posturing for their party faithful.

While we need a new model for education we also need a new funding model and that is the non-property tax system composed of Real Property Sales Tax, Rental Tax and County or Statewide School Income Tax. With this model if you own you home (your savings) it is yours forever. You pay sales tax at time of purchase and that is it - a true irrevocable titled ownership without encumbrance.

Better yet; don't have employers do the dirty work of irs withholding calculator taxes from employees and also pay the matching withholdings (more hidden taxes).

Revenue neutrality comes in the form of lowering tax rates to the effect of, for example, $100 million in lost revenue, but also reducing deductions that total $100 million, thus NEUTRAL. What does it matter, you say? Simplification reduces compliance costs, increases budget predictability for companies and individuals, and eliminates deductions/loopholes that distort the market Read More]]> http://www.remax-uprastan.net/analysis-on-jon-huntsman-reigniting-the-entrepreneurial-spirit/feed/ 0 http://www.remax-uprastan.net/views-on-daniel-mitchell-will-republicans-hand-the-left-a-vat-victory/ http://www.remax-uprastan.net/views-on-daniel-mitchell-will-republicans-hand-the-left-a-vat-victory/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:21:57 +0000 admin http://www.remax-uprastan.net/views-on-daniel-mitchell-will-republicans-hand-the-left-a-vat-victory/ Mr. Mitchell is incorrect in stating that there is a level playing field. Currently, German goods exported to the USA receive an 18% (maybe more in the meantime) VAT car tax refund, meaning that the exported goods cost only 82% of the price they would cost in Germany. That is called dumping in other circumstances. Unless we charge a customs fee of 22% to bring the price up to the same level as in Germany, having no VAT really does tilt the playing field towards Read More]]> http://www.remax-uprastan.net/views-on-daniel-mitchell-will-republicans-hand-the-left-a-vat-victory/feed/ 0 http://www.remax-uprastan.net/a-response-to-verizons-not/ http://www.remax-uprastan.net/a-response-to-verizons-not/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:21:44 +0000 admin http://www.remax-uprastan.net/a-response-to-verizons-not/ This FiOS has turned out to be a big yawn. I have cables sitting on a pole outside my window for over a year! I called my local council tax bands member to get this service moving and after 3 weeks of constant calls from Verizon, my council members office and EVERY exec I had been transferred to, still could not justify why anything had not been done yet!!!

But that isn't even necessary in this situation. I'll bet there are few American men even in jail who hold the life of a child tax credit calculator in so little regard as to avoid protecting him from such a monster, and I mean on the spot not next morning.
