Obama Drops Plan to Raise Taxes on ‘529’ College Savings Accounts

The Obama administration said it would drop a controversial plan to raise taxes on so-called 529 college-savings accounts, after the proposal sparked widespread criticism over its potential impact on the middle class.

House Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday called publicly on the White House to withdraw its plan. Calls also were coming privately from leaders of the president’s own party.

RANT: Diktats and immunizations

Tuesday, January 27, 2015

FROM FACEBOOK

*** begin quote ***

It’s time in Illinois to pass a law that denies access to any school or any public space to families who decline to immunize their children. There should be no “personal belief waivers” ever for immunizations.

*** end quote ***

Take a look at Texas and “Gardisal” http://truthaboutgardasil.org/ AND you may wish to temper that particular “rush” to judgment.

(For the record, I am not anti vaccines. I am however for calm and reasoned discourse about them.)

We need more SCIENCE and less MARKETING . We need more EDUCATION and CHOICE; less PROPAGANDA, YELLING, and DIKTATS.

Parents don’t want sick children. And, vaccines have issues and risks.

That doesn’t mean ZERO vaccinations; nor does it mean dump them ALL into EVERY child regardless.

One size doesn’t fit all.
