    Most Americans say tax the rich to balance budget

    Most people said: "Raise other people's taxes, but don't raise mine." I'm shocked! I never would have predicted that.

    La Raza ("The Race"): The radical student group MEChA (Moviemento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan adopted the slogan, "Por La Raza Todo, Fuera de La Raza Nada," which translated means: "For the Race, Everything; Outside the Race, Nothing." MEChA's founding documents and literature are...

    Why it is stupid to think all people are motivated exclusively by self-interest

    It depends on how you define self-interest. If self-interest includes personal satisfaction that results from what appears to be a selfless act, then it is, by definition, not selfless. For example, my wife and I anonymously give money to several charities each year. We get no recognition...

    Bill Clinton Now President Again!

    I wouldn't leave my daughters alone in a room with Bill Clinton, but as President he makes Bush and Obama look like amateurs.

    It's not persecution Wikileaks needs to be concerned about -- it's prosecution.

    Sarah Palin "we gotta stand with our North Korean allies"

    “To leftist intellectuals, it's okay to have a president who thinks he visited 57 states, a vice president who has claimed that Franklin Roosevelt went on television to calm the people after the stock market crash of 1929 (no TV yet, and Hoover was president), and a Speaker of the House who...

    Corporate Profits Were the Highest on Record Last Quarter

    Okay, here's your entire quote. What did I take out of context? "Exactly my point, which is why you won't see them hiring anytime soon regardless of what happens with taxes. When demand for products and/or services actually increase to a point they have no choice but to add personnel they...

    Corporate Profits Were the Highest on Record Last Quarter

    Why should businesses hire people before they need them? Do you buy products you don't need?

    Who has made it back from the bottom?

    The first thing you need to do is understand WHY you suffered these losses. Is it strictly about loss of discipline? Or is your methodology no longer effective? These are two different problems requiring two different solutions. If you keep a detailed trade-by-trade journal (as all traders...

    Los Angeles Business Tax

    I ran into this problem in Los Angeles back in 1992. After engaging an attorney and getting nowhere with the city (other than numerous threatening letters), I finally found a solution -- I moved to Newport Beach and never looked back.

    Texans taxed to bailout rich California democrats

    Though Texas and California both have serious problems, Cailfornia is worse. The tax and regulatory conditions in California caused it to be named the worst state in the nation in which to do business in a poll of Fortune 500 CEOs. John Chambers, the president of CICSO said he would never open...

    Texans taxed to bailout rich California democrats

    I've lived in California for the last 30+ years and I've watched these problems develop over time: 1. The state of California has 12% of the nation's population and 32% of all the country's welfare cases because of the constantly increasing benefits offered over the years. 2. Illegal...

    Odds makers say bet on Obama in 2012

    Though I am not an Obama supporter, I think the oddsmakers have it right. Elections are really pretty simple these days. In our country we have about 30% hardcore Democrats, 30% hardcore Republicans and 40% Independents who are not loyal to either party. Therefore, winning national...

    Warren Buffett: I 'Should Be Paying A Lot More In Taxes'

    You keep insisting that rich people paid high taxes. They did not. Let me repeat what I said in my previous post. Rich people in the 1950s-1960s paid about 23% of their income in federal taxes due to the utilization of tax shelters (leveraged non-recourse) and offshore banking. The very...

    Warren Buffett: I 'Should Be Paying A Lot More In Taxes'

    1. The US did not prosper in the 1950s-1960s because of high taxes, but rather because of the aftermath of WWII. The period of 1945-1965 established the US as the leading manufacturing country in the world, not because of our manufacturing prowess, but rather because of our military might. At...

    Fat Tax...

    This is exactly the kind of intervention we don't need. For one, it encourages people to eat grains and non-fat dairy products, both of which are extremely unhealthy. Second, it punishes people like me who eat a very healthy diet, but eat a fair amount of fat. The fat I eat is from wild-caught...

    Department of Justice: Chris Christie spent big on hotels

    That's the best you can do? Four dollars a day. That makes him a hypocrite? Try this one: In August Nancy Pelosi was traveling with 4 members of her staff. She was offered a Hawker 800XP private jet. She wants a G-IV. The difference in fuel costs alone is $600/hr. On a single round trip to...
