Doug Ross spots a ringer. One of the merry band of brother “Marines” at the presser of Connecticut Democrat Senatorial candidate Blumenthal evidently is a phony soldier.

*** end quote ***

“Stolen Honor”!

Phony candidate has phony supporter!

Disgraceful.

Where’s the AG Holder? Oh yeah, he’s a D, so rules don’t apply.

And he is the CT AG!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: 1099’s galore?

Democrats bring death by a thousand new regulations
Ed Lasky

*** begin quote ***

The absurdity of this approach is clear in the ObamaCare legislation. Among its features are a requirement that all businesses file 1099s for any person or vendor that they pay $600 or more over the course of the year. This will be a nightmare for many small businessmen already laboring under the impact of existing rules , as well as other ObamaCare impacts, as this Investors Business Daily column makes clear.

*** end quote ***

Has anyone thought about the absurdity of all this paper being mailed around. Is this some type of subsidy to the Post Office? And, how about all the IRS workers that will have to be hired!

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: True racism = gooferment eddykation in the inner city

Black Americans and Liberty
by Walter E. Williams Townhall.com Columnist

*** begin quote ***

Then there’s the grossly fraudulent education delivered by the government schools that serve most black communities. The average black high school senior has a sixth- or seventh-grade achievement level and most of those who manage to graduate have what’s no less than a fraudulent diploma, one that certifies a 12th-grade level of achievement when in fact the youngster might not have half that. If the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan wanted to sabotage black academic excellence, he could not find a more effective means to do so than the government school system in most cities.

*** end quote ***

It’s a shame what we have done to the inner city. Between the “war on (some) drugs”, the denial of the resident’s right to defend themselves, the dole that saps (i.e., single moms get more unmarried and unpaired; the minimum wage mandates unemployment; the gooferment takes over “charity”; the policing is inadequate; rent control prevents building real wealth; licensing prevents entrepreneurship; “equal opportunity” is anything but), then the final nail is the schools.

It’s racism to deprive the inner city youth of paths to “success”!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Holder is an ass

The FBI’s positive fumble
Posted: May 12, 2010
Barry Farber is a pioneer in talk radio

*** begin quote ***

Holder reminds me of the golf showoff who urged one of the group with a very expensive wristwatch please to remove it and place it on the ground, whereupon the showoff balanced a golf ball on the watch’s face, took a five-iron, took his stance and prepared to swat. The watch owner was fearful of a nick or even a small scratch on the face of that precious watch. The showoff swung and utterly shattered the watch’s crystal.

Unfazed, however, he turned to the stunned crowd and said, “You see? That’s the object; to break the crystal without actually damaging the watch itself!”

*** end quote ***

BHO44’s AG Holder is an ideologue. Move the Terror Trials, the GM robbery, and countless other examples make me question BHO44’s judgement.

Kagan is a similar choice.

Sorry, but as a little L libertarian, I find them especially unpalatable choices.

Whoever heard of a Harvard Dean with no writings? Guess for a President with no birth certificate and a Massachusetts Social Security Number she’s fine. But not for me. And, she’s too young.

And, the absolute insult, it leaves the court without a veteran.

Just shaking my head, I’m amazed at the utter stupidity of the current crop of Americans. Oprah would have been a better choice.

Or Judge Judy! That would have brought common sense to the Court. Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Stopping the Social Security Ponzi scheme! “Cold turkey”?

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

Stopping the social security ponzi scheme
by Russ Roberts on May 4, 2010
in Social Security

*** begin quote ***

The way to keep social security from bankrupting the country is to make it a welfare program for the elderly. But what about all the money I “contributed”? Alas, that was a lie. The money wasn’t set aside for the future. It’s like asking why don’t I collect food stamps even though I’m rich. Hey, I contributed so I should get food stamps. That’s a bizarre belief to have. That’s not the way food stamps work. That is the way social security is supposed to work, but it’s a bad idea, it was an illusion that your contributions were really yours and there isn’t enough money to keep the illusion going.

*** end quote ***

The problem is that the gooferment took the “seed corn” from everyone. They skimmed the “cream” off the top. We could have saved MORE for our own retirement, but they STOLE it early (when the savings would have had more impact) and OFTEN (by inflation eats up savings and raises costs). So everyone to now say “too bad, you’re screwed” is the perpetuation of a fraud and a theft. We didn’t get into this mess in a few years and won’t get out of it in a few years. It was decades. So, like Chile, we need time. <sub 40, recognition bond for contributions payable in 40 years; over 40 below 60, you get some choices; over 60, you get the old plan> And you work your way out.

I pitched a similar idea in the NY Tax Revolt in the 80’s. A twenty year plan to get out of gooferment education at 5% a year. Followed immediately by a twenty year plan, to get out of gooferment funded “education” completely. Forty years, like the time the Jews wandered the desert, gives you time to reeducate people and allow them to adapt to the new realities. Too bad they didn’t adopt it, we’d have been half way out by now. NJ’s education expense is crippling the State.

Paradigms and memes don’t change over night. And, folks have to be able to see the path, where it leads to, and how it can be accomplished with 960 (40 times 12) easy monthly payments of some modest amount gets them to Freedom.

# – # – #

Upon reflection, this would cause violence in the streets. Only the wealthy could survive this body blow. And, with the gooferment planning to “monetize the debt” (i.e., inflate the currency so it can pay off the debt), those on fixed incomes and retired will be slowly strangled. Think the German pre-WW2 hyperinflation that made Hitler possible.

No, we need an orderly multi-generational way to get form here to there. Peacefully. The Chile solution worked well; why not here?

One problem is they were all illiterate and could ignore the liberal media telling us the gooferment’s propaganda line. We’re too “smart” for our own good. And, the youth propaganda reeducation camps are ensuring continued stupidity!

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Eliminate the Public Schools

Sunday, May 2, 2010

http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig10/galvin5.1.1.html

Strike a Victory for Federalism: Eliminate the Public Schools
by Paul Galvin

*** begin quote ***

But eliminating public schooling, an institution not extant at the country’s founding, would have national implications extending well beyond the boundaries of any one state. Chief beneficiaries would be an overall strengthening, and rehabilitation, of the American federal system and an increase in individual liberty.

*** end quote ***

The whole public school “sysstem” is:

(1) Immoral

• Forcibly separating children from their families. The model was to create cannon fodder and factory workers easily led by the elite.

• Indoctrinating future voters to support the government.

• Excessive costs drive senior citizens from their homes

• The “public education” model demotivates the student, “un-involves” the parents, and creates an “education” political force.

(2) Ineffective

•  Education results are in free fall; without factoring in all the tricks being used to pump up results.

• Unlike a free market, education isn’t delivered where it is needed at price that can be afforded. It’s political; not market based.

• One size fits all squeezes everyone into the same mold; the smart are held back and the “dumb” are lost.

(3) Inefficient

• The Horace Mann model hasn’t changed with the times; University of Phoenix delivers over the inet, why not everyone?

• Cost per student “educated” is double Catholic, private, or other parochial schools.

• Mandatory attendance, child labor, and licensing laws deprive us of non-academic education (i.e., craft apprenticeship)

(4) Harmful

• Creates “education factories with gun free zones” that are an undefended target rich environment.

• Puts children is a hostile environment where they are exposed to drugs and bullying.

• Some teachers are sexual predators.

• Children are not taught the skills they need to survive in the real world. School life is completely unlike real life.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: SEC, an incompetent regulator

Friday, April 23, 2010

http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/2010/04/23/sec-incompetence/

SEC Incompetence
Posted by Mark A. Calabria

*** begin quote ***

But the porn charges are the least of the SEC’s worries. Also released was the IG’s report on the SEC’s failure to stop the Stanford Ponzi scheme. The report shows a clear pattern of incompetence at the SEC. Given the SEC’s failure to act on the Madoff scheme, and the repeated warnings about Stanford, one has to wonder how good SEC investogators are at discovering fraud if they don’t even pursue the clear-cut cases brought to them.

*** end quote ***

Government is ALWAYS ineffective and inefficient.

This is a classic example of that.

So, why should we even have an SEC?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The TSA is absurd

Woman Accused Of Hitting TSA Agent Over Applesauce
Rita Garcia

*** begin quote ***

CAMARILLO, Calif. (CBS) ― A Camarillo woman is facing a trial for allegedly assaulting a Transportation Security Administration agent at Burbank airport. But the confrontation didn’t involve a gun or a bomb. CBS 2/KCAL 9 has video of the incident.

Nadine Hays is accused of hitting a TSA agent who allegedly tried to take away her elderly mother’s applesauce.

“I just said I am not going to plead guilty to something I did not do,” Hays said.

*** end quote ***

Why do the Sheeple put up with this nonsense?

It’s already demonstrated by more competent experts that this is all “security theater”.

So why do the congresscritters allow this infringement to continue? It allows them to get the Sheeple used to having their rights infringed.

And, they wonder why people regard flying as just above a trip to the dentist?

Wish I was on this woman’s jury. Wish I was on any jury. FIJA anyone.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: When you file your return … …

INVASION USA
Illegals bilk taxpayers in $13 million fraud ring ‘This is an extraordinarily serious, large case’
Posted: April 06, 2010 9:24 pm Eastern
By Chelsea Schilling
© 2010 WorldNetDaily

*** begin quote ***

McDonald told the newspaper that two tax preparation companies, Seguros Internacionales, in Spartanburg and Forest City, N.C., and Poz Servicios Para Hispanos, in Boiling Springs, and associated individuals filed at least 10,000 federal income tax returns and claimed more than $22 million in refunds. The two firms are said to have been shut down.

*** and ***

“The fraud can go undetected for years – until the child looks for a job as a teenager,” he explained.

Rubenstein adds that the ACTC is even available to illegals without Social Security numbers. They simply use an Income Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN, which he says the “IRS is only too happy to provide.”

According to the report, the General Accounting Office has reported that the IRS estimates between 27 and 32 percent of EITC dollars are collected fraudulently.

*** end quote ***

Yeah, when you file your return, think about the EITC and get mad.

The whole income tax fiasco should make you mad anyway, but this should just send you off the deep end!

It does me.

Argh!
