The feds are interesting in reforming healthcare and taxing us beginning next year until 2014 when the healthcare reform kicks in. Pres Obama is also interested in passing the Cap and Trade bill which will triple our utilities cost. Dingbat Pelosi has proposed a value added tax like Europe in which tax is added at every step of the products lifecycle from manufacturing to distribution. Inheritance taxes are going up.<br />Capital gains rate is being increased.<br />The Bush small business taxes will be allowed to expire by Pres Obama.<br />The huge deficit being created by the feds and the devaluation of the dollar is going to dramatically increase the cost of goods manufactured overseas.<br />When you think of these taxes, try to consider that they will be influencing the price of food and gas. <br />It's change you can believe in.<br />HHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35921470.post-54859708965236339782009-12-06T20:36:45.467-05:002009-12-06T20:36:45.467-05:00Raising a tax that is already very regressive just...Raising a tax that is already very regressive just doesn't strike me as a great idea. <br /><br />Here's a better idea, although perhaps just as politically insufferable: legalize marijuana and regulate/tax it like alcohol. It's safer than alcohol, has medicinal value and significant savings would be realized in law enforcement/justice system costs. As someone who despises government regulation, I couldn't ask for a better example of government stupidity and injustice than the war on marijuana. Ironically, a large number of people (including law enforcement officials and politicians) agree with me on that point and yet nothing gets done about it.Freemarketnoreply@blogger.com
