Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.)

I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention.

You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on February 10, 2009.  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Promises, promises. Give the tax cuts/credits on the tax return of a specific company AFTER they create the jobs.

There's a better idea regarding the payroll tax, middle income tax relief, reduction of business tax rate. The solution has been introduced in each session of Congress since 1999.

It's called The Fair Tax Act(HR25/S296). It will replace all federal income taxes with a national sales tax and abolish the IRS. Visit the links below for more information.

I love everything except #4. If you bought your home using an adjustable rate mortgage or you bought a home that you really couldn’t afford you don’t deserve assistance. I’m sorry but I don’t want to bail out homeowners anymore than I want to bail out companies that can’t survive.

Nothing is going to work without Cheap Energy Nothing and we have plenty just got to kick the Rats out of the way.

I know I heard this discussed during the campaign, but it never materialized. I’d like to be given access to our 401K’s w/out paying the penalty and receive a significant tax break for using the money to make a major purchase. (We haven’t lost value to this point in our plans because we moved to a stable fund before the down tick started. We could use a newer car, and we would be willing to buy one if we could tap those funds w/out penalties and a reduced tax rate.) I’d be more than willing to tap them and may do so even with the tax and penalities if I think the government is moving to nationalize them.

This looks like the Gingrich version of a “Contract with America” for the mid-term elections.
