In the first week after Congress returns from its August recess the House will vote on a bill preventing the National Labor Relations Board from restricting where an employer can locate in the United States.
The bill is in response to an NLRB lawsuit against Boeing Co. claiming that the manufacturer violated labor law in opening up a new airplane production line in South Carolina. The agency alleged that Boeing was punishing workers in Washington state for past strikes and wants the company to return the work to Washington. Boeing denies the claims.
I write from a conservative point of view and do not engage in personal attacks. There are no solutions, only tradeoffs as said by economist Thomas Sowell. This can be seen with most bills passed by congress.

BOEING TO CHINA?
Boeing corporation moved a portion of its Dreamliner 787 production line from Washington state to a $750 million South Carolina facility after failure to negotiate a contract with unions. Now that the East Coast facility is just three months from initial production, the Obama administration’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed what may be the largest labor lawsuit in 50 years against Boeing to prevent the South Carolina plant from coming online.

B AND S FROM DEMOCRATS
Tea Party Republicans are dead set on gutting Medicare and Social Security while protecting tax breaks for millionaires and Big Oil companies.
RICK PERRY TO LIMIT LAWSUITS
Rick Perry has also supported tort reform to limit malpractice lawsuits against doctors, and as lieutenant governor he had tried and failed to limit class action awards and allowing plaintiffs to allocate liability awards among several defendants. In 2003, Perry sponsored a controversial state constitutional amendment to cap medical malpractice awards,[29] which was narrowly approved by voters. According to a tort reform advocate, this legislation has resulted in a 21.3 percent decrease in malpractice insurance rates. According to the Texas Medical Board, there has also been a significant increase in the number of doctors seeking to practice in the state.[30]

OBAMA MUSLIM
Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a White Athiest from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's Parents met at the University of Hawaii. WhenObama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His Mother then marriedLoto Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indenosia. When Obama was six years old, the family relocated to Indenosia. Obama attended a Muslimschool in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic School. Obama takes great care to conceal the Fact that He is a MUSLIM. He is quick to point out that He was once a Muslim, But that He also attended Catholic School. Obama's Political Handlers are attempting to make itappear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Osama was enrolledin a wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teachng that is followed by the muslim terroristswho are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it ispolitically expedient to be a christian when seeking major public office in the United States, Barak Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his muslim background. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.
HOORAY FOR OBAMACARE
INDIANAPOLIS - Nearly one of every 10 midsized or big employers expects to stop offering health coverage to workers once federal insurance exchanges start in 2014, according to a new survey from a large benefits consultant. This is result of OBAMACARE. Another 20% are not yet sure what to do.
The exchanges, which were devised under the health care overhaul, may offer an alternative for their workers. These exchanges aim to provide a marketplace for people to buy insurance that can be subsidized by the government based on income levels. With government subsidies to exchanges this will put Blue Cross, United Healthcare, Health Partners and all the others out of business and eventually leave us to the mercy of our government. I report, U decide.

PROPERTY TAX REFUND
At this time I am awaiting the receipt of a check for $1'321.87 from the state of Minnesota. This is to pay refund on property tax paid for the year 2010. Hard to unnerstand because property tax funds are divided among the county, municipality and school board and the state issues the refund. This refund is based on amount of tax paid directly or based on tax paid by rental provider but not paid to recipient with annual income over $53,540. Why this limit?
The state was forced to close down for a period of time due to a shortage of funds.

WEALTHY PAY MOST TAX
In 2008, the latest Internal Revenue Service figures confirm, the top 1 percent of tax filers earned 20 percent of adjusted gross income and paid 38 percent of income tax revenues. The top 5 percent earned 34.7 percent of AGI and paid 58.7 percent of income taxes.
The top 10 percent earned 45.8 percent of AGI and paid 69.9 percent of income taxes. Meanwhile, as the Tax Foundation's analysis revealed, the bottom 50 percent earned 12.75 percent of AGI and paid 2.7 percent of income tax revenues. This shows that nearly 50% of U.S. citizens pay no income tax but still have the right to vote. At Boston Tea Party it was taxation without representation now is representation (right to vote) without taxation.
Regarding all federal taxes (capital gains, corporate, death, dividends, excise, income, payroll) an April 2009 Congressional Budget Office study found that for 2006 (the latest numbers), the top 1 percent paid 28.3 percent of all federal taxes.
Fair Tax is a national sales tax set up to be just as progressive our present income tax. Example: I purchased a 1998 Saab Convertible for $8,000 and best friend purchased a fancy Lexus Sedan for $48,000 that resulted in a difference of 6 times amount of tax paid. That's progessive as you can get. Too long to 'splaine so see fair tax by way of google.
Property tax is also progressive Mill rate on a $1,000,000 house is double that of a $150,000 house that is 10 mills to 20 mills.
Bush tax cut favors lower income earners. High rate from 39% to 35% and low rate from 15% to 10% meaning 33 1/3% dollar reduction for low earners and 11% for highest earners.
Tax "loop holes" and "write-offs" are shared equally among high and low earners.
Dayton for rich to pay "fair share" is a true sign of "class envy".
Billy chides me for being Republican and sez he is Democrat because his union sez so. That is sick.

GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM
The lesson of the S&P downgrade is that government is the problem, not the solution. The bailouts, quantitative easing, stimulus and excessive spending have done little, if anything, to ease our economic woes. What they have done is add political uncertainty.
Washington needs to back off and stand down. The only way out of the current mess is a principled commitment to smaller government, coupled with deep, structural cuts in entitlement spending and defense.

TEXAS TAXES
"Texas is one of only nine states without a state income tax. It has done a better job than most states of restraining its debt." as stated in column by Chicago Tribune.
State Sales and Use Tax is imposed on all retail sales, leases and rentals of most goods, as well as taxable services.
Texas cities, counties, transit authorities and special purpose districts have the option of imposing an additional local sales tax for a combined total of state and local taxes of 8 1/4% (.0825)
A good reason for Texas high rate of job creation, 300,000 new jobs or 37% of all new jobs in US, is to not tax the rich their "fair share." This is good reason for U.S. to repeal the Federal income tax and replace with a national sales tax. I report U decide.

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | In Don Marquis' classic satirical book, "Archy and Mehitabel," Mehitabel the alley cat asks plaintively, "What have I done to deserve all these kittens?"
That seems to be the pained reaction of the Obama administration to the financial woes that led to the downgrading of America's credit rating, for the first time in history.

THE FREE MARKET TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
The marketplace takes care of itself. It's only the price controls, the strange fiscal policies, the whining and whatever else introduced by impatient politicians that distorts the markets. The economy now is in particular danger, for we are entering a political year.

FOR MARRIAGE
About 70 percent of poor households with children are headed by single mothers. Today, four of every 10 births are outside marriage. Among Hispanics, the rate is 53 percent, and among blacks, 72 percent. No amount of taxpayers’ money can replace a father. But restoring the relational fabric of society is what churches are called to do.
Christians seeking to fight poverty should aim not for more government intervention but for all children to be raised in the security of a home with a married mother and father. The best circle of protection against poverty is marriage.

OBAMA AGAINST RAISING DEBT CEILING
Here are Obama’s thoughts on the debt limit in 2006, when he voted against increasing the ceiling:
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
