Report: Debt will swell under top GOP hopefuls’ tax plans
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/report-debt-will-swell-un...
The national debt is likely to balloon under tax policies championed by three of the four major Republican candidates for president, according to an independent analysis of tax and spending proposals so far offered by the candidates.
The lone exception is Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who would pair a big reduction in tax rates with even bigger cuts in government services, slicing about $2 trillion from future borrowing.
Of all the major choices for President — no disrespect intended to Gov. Gary Johnson who is also an outstanding candidate — Ron Paul is the only one who deserves to be President.
He uses the Founding Documents to answer his questions.
He will bring the troops home and stop the useless bribing of foreign nations.

Flip-flop-orama-Obama who now believes in more and more war, torture, warrantless arrests, indefinite imprisonment without a trial, and assassinations is now burning up billions of gallons of fuel and goodwill by sending war ships to Iran.
Here’s a nice quote from an enlightening article:
Progressives and the Ron Paul fallacies

Now that Ron Paul is doing better and better in the polls (more and more people who hear him like him), the crazies who hate Ron Paul are coming out of the wood work. And I mean that to be somewhat literal, they are those who are destroying our country; weakening it and eating it’s strengths.
I’ve read a few diatribes against Dr. Paul.
Supposedly he hates gays and thinks they should be executed; but in reality he’s a cosponsor of a bill with Barney Frank!

I was one of the last generation of kids to deliver the Boston Globe, by hand, from my bike, and from a sled in the snow.
It was much bigger then, and not delivered by adults driving cars. Now it’s smaller than some of the inserts that used to be inside it.
It’s much smaller now, and although I can’t say I read much of it back then, I can say it reads like garbage these days. You can tell they care much more about their advertisers than their readers.

While other presidential candidates fumble for how to answer whether they have the power to go to war against Iran, saying, “… well … I’d have to check with the lawyers … I’d have to check with counsel …” Ron Paul knew instantly to look to the Constitution!

I know it's similar to “spin,” but I’m thinking it would probably be a good idea to stop using the terminology of “flat tax” and start calling it “even tax.” Since that has a better ring to it.
Nothing changes behind the scenes. The concept is still that everyone is taxed at the same percentage, everyone equally.

It's been a while since I've typed up a dream I've had. This doesn't mean I've not had dreams at night, it just means I'm not logging them here.
But due to a number of dreams I had after Obama was elected, I figured I'd share a dream I had last night.

Sorry about that, but my guess is someone didn't like the fact I said that pay day lenders (and the variations on their ilk) were one of the current favorite toys of the devil.
Not long after that was published, there was an attack on this website. Hundreds upon hundreds of inane comments appeared. That was a burden in more ways than just one. Kind of like being snowed under by bullies holding all the cards which they stole or forced others to sign away under duress, haters of freedom, sharing, love.

Hm. I wonder. Think it has anything to do with another major religion that claims to submit to God? But which seems to promote the opposite? The crushing, oppression, and outright murder of people who disagree with them?
