VAT

Obama's economic advisor is saying the US should look at having a VAT (value added tax) like Europe. This is in some ways similar to a flat tax, though a VAT gathers more revenue. Well this could actually gain momentum if we dropped our progressive income tax.

Remember When (Halloween Edition)

Image
Remember when Halloween movies were scary; when Werewolves and Vampires were arch enemies and very, very evil. It seems as though Werewolves and Vampires today have been made out to be some metro-sexual experience. It started with "Interview with a Vampire" where Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise turned blood sucking savages into some type of artsy, makeup wearing and emotional mess. I think it was better when you had Bram Stockers masterpiece turned film in 1992 - evil vampire kills people - that was it. Onto Werewolves and their cover of Teen Magazine failure in the "Twilight" series. Remember the Wolves in 'The Howling', 'An American Werewolf in London' and 'Wolf' - those were serious beasts; vicious frightening and not to be hugged, kissed, dated, longed for, etc.. Vampires and Werewolves have seen some recent films portray them in the original bad ass light: The Underworld series comes to mind. At least in those semi-recent films the beasties w...

What are you teaching your children, Trump protesters?

Since November 8th 2016 Americans throughout the Country have been engaging in some of the most absurd and disgusting activities imaginable. Instead of embracing a Nation they profess to love too much to leave, they have throw an adult temper-tantrum. Sixty million people elected Trump, 60 million did not - like most elections the separation of winner and lose was divided by a minimal number of Electoral votes. As a result, a few hundred thousand Americans have decided to make America look like any common third-world Country, minus dirt. What these "protesters" are protesting remains unknown, is it America? Other people's rights to Vote? Nobody is quite sure. The process worked as laid out in the US Constitution, and the results were unquestioned - unlike 2000 Bush v. Gore. Yet, we see an absurd amount of outlandish presentations by the media (see Saturday Night Live or any opinion piece written in the Washington Post), and by American citizens. President-Elect Trump ha...

POTUS can't stand SCOTUS.....and that is a good thing!

Image
The President didn't quite do a 'sit in' at his press conferences, but none the less he looked childish lambasting the Supreme Court for not following his agenda. Nothing more advocates for the branches of Power in the United States than his remarks. Though I completely disagree with the racist ruling SCOTUS did in regards to affirmative action - essentially telling white children they don't matter - but none the less, they are the law of the land. Meanwhile in progressive cry town: Obama called the Supreme Court's decision a setback that "takes us further from the country we aspire to be." But he predicted that an overhaul the immigration system would come eventually. "Congress isn't able to ignore America forever," he said. "It is heartbreaking for millions of immigrants who made their lives here, who raised families here," Obama said. This man clearly cares more about non-US Citizens than he does Citizens, he truly...
