Posted by Scott in Entitlements, Gov't Spending, Taxes on August 29th, 2009
It was less than a year ago when Wall Street firms started seeing the first wave of government bailouts.

Posted by Scott in Entitlements, Gov't Spending, Healthcare, Taxes on August 21st, 2009
For years, conservatives and liberals have clashed over taxes. Do we tax less, and allow the free market to thrive with the increased spending, or do we tax more to allow for an increase in government spending.

Cash For Clunkers – Yet Another Government Blunder
Posted by Scott in Entitlements, Environment, Gov't Spending on August 20th, 2009
If you’ve driven by a new car dealership lately, you’ll likely notice the same thing I did when I went out looking to buy a new car. The lots are barren. You’re lucky to find a dealership who has more than one of the model car you’re looking for, and even luckier if it happens [...]

Posted by Scott in Race Issues on June 30th, 2009
The Supreme Court’s ruling today in favor of the Connecticut Firefighters, who claimed they were unfairly denied promotions based on their skin color, does more than just set a legal precedent.

Pay Your Taxes If You Have Political Ambitions
Before Timothy Geithner became the Treasury Secretary, he worked for the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF employs people from all over the world, including Americans. While working there, foreigners don’t have to pay US income taxes, and in an attempt to be fair to the Americans who also work there, the IMF pays the Americans [...]
