Golf and taxes

I am not a golfer. In fact, my standard joke is that I am a failure as a lawyer because I don't play golf. I have played about 4 times; with about a 90 for 9 holes for each 'outing'. Again, I obviously don't play golf. I am also not an Econ major but I love to dabble, as evidenced by this blog. I have to share an amazing article with you about what 'real' taxes cost. Please click HERE to read an article about Phil Mickelson's complaints about taxes. Pretty interesting read and shows how horrible our taxes really are. (then again, if you want to 'share the love' and steal from the 'evil rich' then this article will make you giddy--not me!).
Cheers, Bo

Headline today: Not much impact from repeat buyer credit"

In a word-DUH! Check out this post on my other blog about this silly tax credit. What a waste of time...

The Panic of 2008 in a nutshell...

I received the following link in an email newsletter. I am amazed at how clearly this shows 'what happened' over the past few years. I have to agree at their summation that it is truly the government that failed us. Are you surprised to read that? Both parties have failed us. Again the time is NOW to boot them all out. We are at a critical point in the history of our country. It's time to clean house and it's time to enact term limits to get rid of the 'us and them' mindset that so clearly has infected Washington (not that our own Georgia legislature has the guts to enact ethics laws and limitations on lobbyists either, but I digress). You truly want change? Let's get some new blood and new ideas in Washington. It's time for a voter revolution! God Bless America...!

Why the IRS should go away!

I have always noted that I am a fan of the "Fair Tax" as it levels the playing field for ALL Americans--Bill gates would pay the same tax rate on a Ferrari as I would pay for a gallon of milk, not to mention people who hide their income and don't pay their 'fair share' (to coin a Liberal catch-phrase). Spare me the details about the working poor being penalized as you probably haven't read the bill (someone correct me, was it HB 5 or 25 or something??) and don't understand the REBATE they would receive... But I digress. If you are a FAN of the IRS (or even if you aren't), please read this article of the IRS and how they managed to pour salt in the wounds (acid?) of a hard-working American. God Bless this family and I pray that their ordeal is over. Are YOU next?
