Worthy or Not
If hard work deserves the highest pay,would it go to wall street executives?Watch some dirty jobs shows.Is intelligence the determining factor?Even presidents have IQs barely above average.What does and should determine wealth?It's definitely not readily apparent in the U.S.Is morality a factor?Perhaps someone would warrant decent pay to examine the factors-desired and actual.Should we aspire to achieve the desired?
Tax cuts
All of the conversations about the Bush tax cuts baffle me.Isn't the primary concern about personal income taxes?If only the upper rates are allowed to expire(35% to39%),why is this made so complicated?Personal income taxes don't affect business,do they?Even sub S corps end up at personal.Why the concern over increased business taxes?From what I've read ,business taxes are not affected.The accounts mention estate taxes,capital gains,and dividends(all with little consequence).It appears to me that we are talking about personal income taxes on individuals making $250,000 or more?How does that affect business taxes or jobs?It doesn't,but why do even the proponents of expiration allow statements to that effect go unchallenged?Are they not sincere?
We get the same bullcrap with social security and medicare;Lies go unchallenged.Why?
What amazes me,is that tax decrease advocates say that we won't gain by allowing increases,but we'll lose a lot if we do.I don't think that it works that way!

Voter I D
Is voter ID passage inevitable?Probably.Is voter ID necessary?Probably not.The electorate is pretty honest relative to elections.The real problem is getting them to vote at all.It's much easier to deter them.Most dishonesty originates with the politicians and that's where voter the ID question originates.Everyone knows that the object is to deter voters.
The Pioneer Press claimed that 1000 felons voted in a previous election.They can in many states.Can you envision a felon jeopardizing his status simply to vote?That claim is pretty ridiculous and obviously a deceptive argument.It would be more reasonable to question why a felon can't vote.
The potential voters with no ID or precinct or district issues will probably vote for IDs;consequently,it will probably pass.After passage,anyone that must inconvenience themselves,in any way,will simply not vote.This deterrence will continue to work until a constituent really wants to vote.I don't see that happening until we have real campaign reform.When money doesn't control politics and anyone can run for office,if that ever happens,perhaps more constituents may want to vote.If they could have a real representative to vote for,that could inspire a desire to vote.Then voter ID could be more than a deterrent.Until then,even more power to money.Wouldn't it be nice to be governed by leaders and representatives that actually reflected the constituency?

Supreme Court-Affordable Care Act
It's pretty obvious(at least to me)that the American public is being duped and has been for a long time.If we limit this to an assessment of the Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Health Care Act,it is really obvious.The Supreme Court money reps wanted the bill to remain,primarily for the insurance industry,but didn't want to give the executive branch any potential power in the commerce area ;so,they had to do it surreptitiously and found a way in the tax and spend area.
I really think that(even with the dissent opinions) all of the money justices were in accorrd with the Robert's method.The precedent was set in Massachusetts and also would make the democrats look devious in their passage of the law.It also could give them impetus for the future.I also think that the decision was made in advance and in collusion.
After the citizen's united vote, it was apparent that this court was completely subservient to the money interests;was completely biased and unabashedly so.Even the money controlled media had to finally acquiesce and reveal that bent.Consequently,the court had to temper the burgeoning attack on it's reputation.Conjecture is that Roberts bolted on his own.I don't believe that he did,but that he had to make it appear that way.
