“Try this thought experiment. Pretend you’re a tyrant. Among your many liberty-destroying objectives are extermination of blacks, Jews and Catholics. Which would you prefer, a United States with political power centralized in Washington, powerful government agencies with detailed information on Americans and compliant states or power widely dispersed over 50 states, thousands of local jurisdictions and a limited federal government?” — Walter Williams

Komen for the Cure Deepens Ties With Planned Parenthood Abortion Business
by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com Editor
April 1, 2010
*** begin quote ***
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The Komen for the Cure breast cancer foundation has been under fire from pro-life advocates for years for its ties to the Planned Parenthood abortion business. In a new column, pro-life writer Jill Stanek uncovers new information showing the link between the two groups is deepening.
Komen’s ties to Planned Parenthood are well documented and figures from STOPP International show Komen chapters giving $711,485 from April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006 to Planned Parenthood affiliates.
And in numbers provided to the Associated Press, Susan G. Komen for the Cure spokeswoman Rebecca Gibson confirmed 19 of the 122 Komen affiliates made grants totaling $374,253 to Planned Parenthood during the 2005-2006 fiscal year.
Figures show Komen affiliates have given Planned Parenthood $3 million between 2003 and 2008 and $805,000 in the 2008 fiscal year.
Those donations and links have continued as Komen affiliates in California, Idaho, Colorado, Iowa, Texas, and other states have either made donations or worked with Planned Parenthood abortion centers.
*** and ***
Stanek says the response leaves open more questions about the Planned Parenthood-Komen relationship.
“Why didn’t PPGNW cash in its inheritance? Why didn’t Eric buy? If the share was willed, it was worth something. The real-estate market was thriving in 2006. It appears both partners are OK with this now four-year-old business partnership,” she responded.
Brinker also attempted to defend the donations to Planned Parenthood in his contact with Stanek, saying “only “20 of Komen’s 122 U.S. Affiliates fund breast-health services through local Planned Parenthood clinics” and adding the total money given represents “less than one percent of the total granted by affiliates.”

Interesting question is why are charities running shopping centers?
Could it be because they are tax-deductible?
Argh!
More stuff that makes no sense.

Driving the rich away
Hank Kalet
FROM THE COMMENTS
# – # – #
Dear Anonymous:
>we should reduce taxes on businesses and corporations because it will create jobs.
Help me understand something: A business sells “stuff”. It adds up all its costs, tacks on some profit, and people but that “stuff”. A corporate tax is just ANOTHER cost. The business actually EITHER passes it along to the consumer OR goes out of business.
Right?
(Ignore for the moment that if it reduces its obscene profit to cover the tax so as not to pass it along. It still is passing that tax along by accepting a lower profit.)
So, we should have a ZERO corporate tax for NO OTHER REASON than it conceals exactly how much we are paying in taxes.
ONLY REAL PEOPLE PAY TAXES.
Jobs has nothing to do with it! Honesty does.
If I buy a can of beans, I have NO way of knowing how much “tax” I am paying in the price of that can of beans.
On April 15th, the tax I paid on that can of beans isn’t in what I pay as “my taxes”. It’s hidden.
I think if people knew what they were paying, really and truly, bottom line number, there would be a GIANT revolt. Make the Tea Parites of last summer look like a gardent tea party.
It’s actually much worse than we can intuit. When a company makes a capital good that other companies use to make “stuff” we have taxes on top of taxes being hidden. Buried hip deep in obfuscation.
And the congresscritters like it just that way. Keep the rubes dumb about what they are actually paying for this class of a “new priesthood” in the District of Corruption and other “capitols”!
Argh!

WASHINGTON — Federal health care reform will require most Northern New Yorkers — but not all, it turns out — to carry health insurance or risk a fine.

A 400 Percent (and Higher) Excise Tax
by Michael S. Rozeff
*** begin quote ***
The Wall Street Journal brings more bad news. A headline reads “Lawmakers Weigh a Wall Street Tax.” The first mention of this was in October. The proposal has not died as Congress seeks new ways to finance its profligate spending. Both houses are considering legislation.
*** end quote ***
I oppose ALL taxes. New or old. It’s just giving drugs to an addict.
Cut gooferment spending now!

*** begin quote ***
During the hyperinflation in Germany of 1920s, the country’s currency, the mark, went crazy. The government of the Weimar Republic may have been able to clear its debts, but it came at the cost of the citizens’ savings. It’s an era that is still part of the national psyche today.
*** and ***
Take for example the family that sold its house to emigrate to America. On arrival at the port of Hamburg, they found that the money wasn’t enough to pay for their crossing — in fact, it didn’t even pay for their tickets back home. Then there was the man who drank two cups of coffee at 5,000 marks each, only to be presented with a bill for 14,000. When he asked why this was he was told he should have ordered the coffees at the same time because the price had gone up in between. And then there’s the story about the couple that took a few hundred million marks to the theater box office hoping to see a show, but discovered it wasn’t nearly enough. Tickets were now a billion marks each.

And that kiddies is what faces us here in the USA in the near future.
But It CAN’T happen here!
Can it?

Many Gun Owners, the State and Media Agree; 2a Is No Longer Relevant
by Michael Gaddy
*** begin quote ***
When I decided to write this article, I did not contact the government, submit to a background check, submit fingerprints, take a government endorsed writing class and pay for permission. What is the difference in the exercise of my inalienable right to free speech and my inalienable right to keep and bear arms? The difference is: the state currently fears my ability to resist tyranny with a firearm more than with words, but as we can see from the reaction of the government and its media lackeys to the spoken objections to the tyranny of socialized medicine, that is about to change.
*** end quote ***
Luckily, rights are not up for “agreement”. They are “inalienable”.
From my cold dead hand!

Airlines to Require More Passenger Data
By CAM SIMPSON
*** begin quote ***
WASHINGTON — Airlines this week will begin requiring some people making reservations for domestic flights to submit their dates of birth and genders as part of a screening process aimed at keeping boarding passes out of the hands of suspected terrorists, the Transportation Security Administration said.
*** end quote ***
I’ve got a novel idea. Let’s nuke the TSA. Make airlines responsible for security. Could they possibly do a worse job than the gooferment?
And, we won’t have to pay salaries and gooferment pensions to all these folks.
Why is the taxpayer in the business of running airport security? Why is the taxpayer in the airport business? Why is the taxpayer in the airline business?
You get the idea!

SEC Favors Special Interests in New Corporate Elections Rule
Posted by Mark A. Calabria
*** begin quote ***
Yesterday, the SEC repealed a long-standing rule which allowed brokers to vote shares on behalf of their investors, unless they obtained written directions from each individual investors. While investors have long been able to direct the voting of their shares, many do not take the time to. In these cases, the brokers vote those shares, after all they are the agents of the investors and are hired to act on their behalf.
The direct effect of the rule will be to reduce the voting weight of retail investors, as represented by their brokers. In voting against the rule, SEC Commissioner Kathy Casey raised the point that the rule would skew voting toward large institutional investors and away from little retail investors.
*** and ***
Then one should not be too surprised to see pension funds be allowed to cast their “uninstructed” votes while brokers cannot. The largest pension funds manage the retirement of unionized state and local employees, often with the fund management itself representing the interests of the unions. We witnessed this same favoring of union interests over the common good in the auto bailouts.
The rule once again illustrates that the new bosses in Washington are busy rewarding their allies at the expense of everyone else.
*** end quote ***
I’m shocked — “I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca — that there is politics going on in regulation. Ever heard of “regulatory capture” or as a normal human being would call it: “The inmates are running the asylum”!
The SEC did so well in the Made-Off scandal. Never did reimpose the uptick rule. Never did figure out the “ratings agency” problem.
But they can sure pay off contributors fast!

Myths, Misunderstandings, and Outright Lies
# – # – #
Well worth reading BEFORE buying or selling anything gold, silver, or other “valuable stuff”.
As a veteran “gold bug”, I knew this stuff, but it’s well written refresher.
It’s long, but let me summarize: If you see it on TV or hear it on radio, be afraid. Be very afraid!
If Wall Street is a casino, then a lot of the gold dealers are just fraudsters.
Fore warned is fore armed.
Now can I interest you in Nigerian Gold Shares?
