STATE MA: TX REVOLT in Taxachusetts!

Thursday, October 4, 2007

*** begin quote ***

======================================================================
LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS? YOU CAN SIGN THE PETITION RIGHT NOW TO END THE
MASSACHUSETTS INCOME TAX.
======================================================================

Have you ever signed a petition for or against something?

Most petitions simply express your opinion. And the opinions of the
other signers.

Those petitions have NO force of law. NO direct legal power to change
anything. The signers are trying to influence or lobby those in power.

This Petition is different. It has the force of law. It is legally
certified by the Attorney General’s Office and is constitutionally and
legally authorized to put the Massachusetts Income Tax up for a
legally-binding vote.

Your signature – and that of another 106,999 voters – puts our
Initiative to END the Massachusetts Income Tax on the ballot.

Your signature costs you nothing. But it saves us $1.50 in petitioning
costs. 1,000 petition signers like you saves $1,500.

Your signature matters.

Please click the link below, follow the simple directions, help us
get this Initiative on the Ballot, and help us END the Massachusetts
Income Tax:

Thank you!

Carla just missed last time she tried it. (I think it was defeated 53-47! with a lot of the liberal press “dirty tricks”.)

If it every succeeds, it’ll be the death knell of socialism here?

RANT: Air travel in the US really sucks

Thursday, October 4, 2007

I bought a ticket for a plane ride at 11. Before I left the hotel this moring, everything was aok. I arrive at the airport and I have a gate delay of 2 hours. Argh!!

And, the security theater of the tsa is laughable. I watched a toddler being sheparded thru the process.  Business people, old folks, and just plain folks submitting meekly to a very unreasonable search and seizureby 8$/hour thugs. Sigh, where is american backbone. what “barbara streisand”.

Argh!

POLITICAL: Ron Paul’s Tax Free Tips Act

Thursday, October 4, 2007

Statement on the Tax Free Tips Act
by Ron Paul

*** begin quote ***

Madame Speaker, I rise to help millions of working Americans by introducing the Tax Free Tips Act. As the title suggests, this legislation makes tips exempt from federal income and payroll taxes. Tips often compose a substantial portion of the earnings of waiters, waitresses, and other service-sector employees. However, unlike regular wages, a service-sector employee usually has no guarantee of, or legal right to, a tip. Instead, the amount of a tip usually depends on how well an employee satisfies a client. Since the amount of taxes one pays increases along with the size of tip, taxing tips punishes workers for doing a superior job!

End the Income Tax period! It’s theft.

MONEY: the car dealer cannot print more cars

Run for Your Money
by Max Raskin

***Begin Quote***

Fractional reserve banking rests on the delusion that if the banks can fool enough people into thinking that they can withdraw their money at any given time, then they can expand credit and make all sorts of unwise investments. The minute the public gets wind of the bank’s insolvency, as with the latest crisis, they rush to demand their money. On the free market, fractional reserve banking is no more of a problem than fractional reserve car dealerships. If a car dealer sells two deeds to the same car it is clearly fraud. Yet somehow the banks are not burdened with the inconvenient job of repaying their depositors. Unlike the central bank, the car dealer cannot print more cars.

***End Quote***

And, they can’t print any more beach front property. Or, gold bullion coins. Or, any such commodity.

When one is in a “fiat money system” (money is unbacked by gold), then you are best advised to convert your paper into something. A house, a business, or anything that ain’t gooferment paper.
