Five reasons Congress should act now to stop Taxmageddon

The $494 billion tax hike


Americans are facing an unprecedented $494 billion tax hike on Jan. 1, 2013. It’s been dubbed “Taxmageddon” given the economic devastation it would cause. Conventional wisdom suggests lawmakers in Washington will wait until the 11th hour to come up with a solution. Fortunately, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced this week he won’t wait for a [...]

Bank of America Moves to Evict 90-Year-Old Woman by Breaking a Federal Law – The Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act

90-Year-Old Woman Fights Eviction On a typical morning, you can find Eve Ball outside her Porterville home, sitting on the porch, sipping coffee, listening to wind chimes. Eve Ball said, “It’s been my home ever since my husband past away.” That was 11 years ago. Her son Barry bought the home for her. Three years … Read more Related posts:

Do union workers need a RAISE?

An exciting new idea in the labor realm.


Actually, they just might. Indiana Republican Rep. Todd Rokita reintroduced the Rewarding Achievement and Incentivizing Successful Employees Act today. Introduced in the last Congress by Louisiana Republican Sen. David Vitter and California Republican Tom McClintock, the RAISE Act lifts the “seniority ceiling” on workers’ wages by allowing employers to pay individual workers more — but [...]

Who’s Watching the Banks? (infographic)

Roll mouse over image… Banks are complicated, and especially in this age of too-big-to-fail, they often house a number of thorny practices under one roof – practices that, as we learned the hard way in the fall of 2008, can be difficult to regulate. When the Dodd-Frank Act was passed a year ago, lawmakers and … Read more Related posts:

Has cheating gone mainstream in America?

Honor, integrity, and rational self-interest now passé?


I tend to think that concerns about declines in moral values relate more to the access we now have to information than a real shift in behavior — but stories like this make me wonder.  It shouldn’t surprise anyone that students will try to cheat their way through tests, even college entrance exams, even though [...]

WaPo on Jane Fonda: It’s just acting, folks

If you say so ...


Ordinarily, I’d be thrilled with someone letting a little air out of an overinflated industry. How refreshing to read a culture columnist put into perspective what Hollywood elites do all day! They act. Oh, but it’s “brave” of them to take on a role that’s bound to earn them critical acclaim! It’s “noble” of them [...]

American Mustache Institute claims Ron Paul’s support for the Stache Act

Dashing.


Why wouldn’t he support it? It’s just the kind of cause any libertarian would endorse: Government interference into personal grooming, a $250 tax credit for mustached Americans. It’s debatable whether the “mustache lobby” would actually be pleased if Congress passed its Stache Act; It’s looking increasingly probable that they’re just trying to make a point [...]

Panetta: We need international approval to join a military coalition — but maybe not Congress’s approval

His point about international approval is mundane: If we decide to act in Syria as part of a coalition, then there needs to be some sort of joint international resolution laying out [...]

“The court will hear those meritorious defenses, but unfortunately it’s not a meritorious defense to say, ‘I just don’t want to pay,’ ” Passidomo said.

“It’s not the bank’s fault or the lender’s fault, if you will,” Richter said. “It’s not the lender’s fault when someone loses their job.
