The Democrats, Eduardo Saverin, And What These Show Us.
2012-05-21 17:53:00 Over at OTB, we find Doug opining: Two Democratic Senators have introduced legislation that seems designed solely to punish people like Facebook’s Eduardo Saverin: Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin recently relinquished his U.S. citizenship just ahead of Facebook’s massive initial public offering. But if Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer has anything to do with it, as the senator said today, “Mr. Saverin’s social network is about to get a lot smaller.” The 30-year-old entrepreneur, whose shares in Facebook are expected to be worth around $3 billion after the social network goes public on Friday, is now residing in Singapore. Conveniently, Singapore does not have capital gains taxes, so his move could save Saverin anywhere from $67 million to $100 million in U.S. taxes. Presuming that Saverin moved to avoid paying taxes, Schumer and Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania on Thursday unveiled legislation to stop what they called a “despicable trend.” Under their ...

U.S. in death spiral, spending like the socialist European nations
2012-04-24 16:24:00 Commentary by James H. Shott The United States national debt is $15.6 trillion ($15,600,000,000,000), as calculated on April 14, which works out to nearly $50,000 for each of the more than 313,400,000 men, women and children who are citizens of the country. Looking through historical data, running a deficit isn?t new or unusual. It is a testament to the failure of our elected representatives to run the government within its means, like we mere citizens are expected to with our personal finances. Back in 1857 the national debt was ?only? $28,699,831.85, and from there on it has gotten worse. It crossed the one trillion dollar mark in 1982. In recent years, annual operating deficits have increased the debt roughly 500 billion dollars each year from 2002 until 2008 when the deficit jumped to a full trillion dollars. In 2009, the deficit jumped to two trillion dollars and was 1.3 trillion dollars in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The big spenders are so out of control these days...

Women of America Are Being USED
2012-04-02 09:07:00 Women of America Are Being USEDA Commentary by J. D. Longstreet The discussion (and the disagreement) has been turned on its head as the Democratic Party whips up women's fervor with their latest con game, which is, in reality, an assault on female voters called "The War on Women." That the democrats would play a con like this is not surprising. What IS shocking, however, is just how easily much of the female electorate is falling for it. Not only are they (women voters) being used -- a goodly number are actually assisting the democrats in their own assault. It is simultaneously stunning and incredible. It is, in fact, the work of past masters at political propaganda in the Democratic Party and their legions of sycophants in the Mainstream Media who seek to curry favor with the Obama Administration by their obsequious flattery and willful blindness to the blatant socialist agenda unfolding at the very heart of America's government. &n-bsp...
