He'll get his own talk show on MSNBC for $5M a year. The far left will continue to fawn over him and tell him what a great man he is -- and, of course, he'll believe every word of it.

I've lived in California for over twenty years. Democrats control over 90% of city governments, many of which are either in bankruptcy or on the verge of bankruptcy. California's credit rating is now the worst in the country. California has had the 4th highest per-capita tax burden in the...

I am also a wining trader. For 21 years. I don't mind paying taxes, but I don't like being lied to. Obama says that he wants to close the deficit by "taxing the rich" and "closing business tax loopholes." The CBO calculates that raising taxes on people like me will close 6% of the deficit and...

Taxes raised on those making over $250k will only solve about 6% of the deficit. Closing all the business tax loopholes will contribute about 9%. Where's the other 85% going to come from? I don't hear anyone talking about that.

The Czech Republic's FM, Miroslav Kalousek, has stood with the UK and Sweden against the FTT every step of the way. His vote is pretty reliable. Denmark (7 votes) is another possible "no" vote. Margrethe Vestager, Danish FM, has said publicly that she thinks the FTT is a job killer. If the...

You're not being adversarial. You're asking an important question. There are two financial transaction tax (FTT) bills pending in Congress: (a) Harkin-Defazio, (b) Ellison. The Harkin-Defazio bill would place a .3% tax on all stock and bond transactions and a .03% tax on all derivative...

What does "pro-Latino" mean? Here in California it means pro-illegal immigration.

Romney's campaign was run by amateurs. On election day alone while trying to "get out the vote" they broke every rule of good management. -- Flawed execution (centralizing an essentially decentralized effort) -- Flawed technology (never tested) -- Flawed process (never rehearsed with...

There are 4.5 million people in Louisiana. About 2,500 have signed the peitition. Let's say 50,000 end up signing it, or even 100,000. So what? That's 1-2% of the population. This is going nowhere.

They "chanted political slogans." Shocking! It was one incident at one university that involved "less than 2% of the student body." There were no injuries and no property damage. In a nation of over three hundred million people and over 2000 colleges and universities, a few of them at...

Conservatives around here went absolutely crazy when they found out Obama won. A guy I know made a fist and whispered, "Damn." The woman who lives next door had two glasses of wine with dinner instead of just one. These dangerous conservatives are completely out of control.

I have the entire collection of Sowell's books and articles in my library. My oldest daughter has been reading them and using them for research for her school reports. Great stuff.

Technically, yes. If it's determined by the US Treasury that you're renouncing your US citizenship to avoid taxes, the IRS will demand that you continue to file and pay for 10 years. From a practical standpoint, it's very difficult for the IRS to collect taxes from someone who's not a US citizen...

The Treasury Secretary can influence the President's tax agenda, and the President then lobbies Congress to enact that agenda into law. When Obama first took office he was in favor of the FTT. Summers and Geithner talked him out of it (or so the story goes). Geithner killed FTT talk at...

Increased likelyhood that the next Treasury Secretary will support FTT. http://washingtonexaminer.com/report-google-and-facebook-competing-for-an-obama-cabinet-slot/article/2512982#.UJwE3UbCz8A White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew is the favorite to replace Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner...

Yes. They have no intention of making the spending cuts. All they want to do is create the illusion cutting spending. It's just the same lame trick over and over again. Most people are too stupid to see it.

That's what they always do in one form or another -- kick the can down the road. Tax increases are always certain and immediate. Spending cuts are promises made for some ambiguous time in the distant future. That's the game.

The Senate cannot unilaterally impose a tax. It requires approval by the House of Representatives, also. I don't see the House approving the FTT. Nothing has changed as far as the FTT is concerned. Obama is still President; the Republicans still control the house; and the Senate is split and...
