How You Benefit From Getting Involved

You may not live in Massachusetts. Many of our best supporters don’t.

If you live outside Massachusetts, you won’t get the direct benefit of not having to pay the state income tax.

Why should you get involved? Why should you donate money so that Massachusetts workers can end their Income Tax?

So you can make history. So you can be a vital part of “the Tax Revolution Heard ‘Round the World.”

It’s more than bragging rights. More than pride. It’s your chance to be part of the new American Revolution For Small Government.

There’s more.

California’s Proposition 13 inspired copycat Tax Limitation Ballot Initiatives in over a dozen states. From 1978 through the mid-1980’s, tax limitation fever swept the United States.

Term Limits Ballot Initiatives caught fire in the mid-1980’s. They burned bright for a half—dozen years.

Medical Marijuana Ballot Initiatives exploded into public attention in the mid-1990’s. Only the active resistance of the DEA and the Federal Government has kept a lid on them.

Ballot Initiatives against Eminent Domain swept America in 2006. More are on the way.

Imagine that our Massachusetts Ballot Initiative to End the Income Tax wins in 2008. Partly because you helped make it possible. Imagine inspiring and instigating copycat Ballot Initiatives to Repeal the Income Tax in 4 or 8 or 12 more states in 2010 and 2012.

You can help set this in motion.

Crazy Carla is on her high horse again tilting at the Income Tax windmill. If she could nuke it in Taxachusetts, then it could be the end of the income tax in America. What a strike at the root.

I sent a contribution; you should too if you hate the income tax as much as I do.

MONEY: Nuke inflation; not the Republic of Where-The-Heck-Is-That-is-tan!

Wall Street vs. the Middle Class
by Gary North

***Begin Quote***

There is a price for this upward access to greater wealth: the possibility of a fall into poverty. This is a greater threat to the rich than to the middle class. The rich are at the far right edge of the bell-shaped curve. There are few of them. Their position is insecure, for good reason. The free market rewards those sellers who serve consumers efficiently, wasting few scarce resources. Consumers are a fickle bunch. They keep asking sellers, “What have you done for us lately?” There are always many competitors trying to get rich. They are ready to replace today’s rich people. Today’s rich people know this. They are therefore ready and willing to pull up the ladder that enabled them to replace yesterday’s rich.

I love his metaphors. It sounds like the poor swap places with the rich. (Yeah, I know it doesn’t work like that, but it looks that way.)

The inflation hurts the middle and the bottom disproportionately. That’s why you would think that sound money (i.e., Ron Paul wanting to nuke the Fed; not Iraq, Iran, North Korea, or the Republic of Where-The-Heck-Is-That-is-tan!) would be a winning economic policy. I don’t understand the sheep.

MONEY: Estate planning email

I read an interesting post today on MONEY: Estate planning email
Here’s a quick excerpt…
(The estate lawyer may ask for a custodian for all the children en masse, and a guardian for each individual child. Have some extra names in your pocket. See each child has a unique fiduciary interest.) …

Nosing around I find that all posts are essentially the same. Direct takes of snips of content. The other two “blogs” are essentially the same. Trivial design with snips of other people’s blogs.

It’s a very “polite” theft since there is a link to the original post.

POLITICAL: Morris points out Hillary’s heel

Saturday, October 13, 2007

A PLAN TO TAKE DOWN HILLARY
By Dick Morris Reports <dickmorrisreports@dickmorris.com>
HER REAL STAND ON IRAQ AND HOW IT HELPS OBAMA
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
Published in the New York Post on October 7, 2007.

 

*** begin quote ***

But Obama has an opening for a very effective challenge to Hillary over the war if he uses the half-hour interview she gave The New York Times in her Senate office on March 14th of this year. In that on-the-record session, Hillary let slip her real colors on Iraq, revealing her essentially hawkish approach to the issue.

She said that she foresees a “remaining military, as well as political, mission” in Iraq. She said she “would keep a reduced but significant military force there to fight al Qaeda, deter Iranian aggression, protect the Kurds and possibly support the Iraqi military.”

While noting that in public Sen. Clinton backs the goal of “bringing the troops home,” the newspaper said that she took a “more nuanced position” in the interview and spoke of the “remaining vital national security interests in Iraq” that would require an ongoing deployment of troops.

That interview, a major mistake by Clinton, provides enough of an opening to drive a truck through and gives Obama a perfect way to position himself vis-à-vis her.

Nothing like a POed advisor to be able to show the world your flaws!
