Orange hoof you need to review your facts; some people might think you know something about transporting dogs on airlines. Cargo hold are climate controlled and dogs are transported anywhere and any time, as long as the outside temp is safe. Tarmac temps are the issue.

I just returned from my caucus. The community center was standing room only. More than double the turnout 4 years ago. All delegates selected except one were Santorum supporters and one undecided. I was selected as a delegate and am a Santorum supporter. It was very encouraging. The alternate delegates selected were a mixture of Paul and Romney supporters.

I attended a luncheon in Bellingham, WA with Rick Santorum’s daughter Elizabeth speaking. She is 20 years old and embodies amazing poise, intelligence and grace. She was able to articulate her father’s policy positions in a clear and charming way with no notes or prompts of any kind. Truly this must be a very remarkable family. She has taken a year off from the University of Dallas to assist her Dad in his campaign. At the end of the luncheon, she received a standing ovation. Today we caucus in Washington. He will have my support.

I live on the U.S. Canadian border South of Vancouver. We have 4 refineries here that would gladly take the oil...I am not sure why this isn’t being suggested as an alternative. Three of them are no more than 15 miles South of the border in Ferndale and the 4th is in Anacortes another 30 miles further South.

one of our local postmen packs heat and killed a beautiful boxer about 5 years ago while on the job.

I completely agree. The only fair tax would be a sales tax in which all pay tax based on their consumption. A flat tax would even be a better alternative to what we have. This kind of reform would widen the tax net and bring in the 48 percent that do not currently pay tax and not concentrate the burden on the w2 wage earners who do not have trusts, investment properties and off shore accounts to minimize their taxable income.

Hopefully Romney’s TR will illustrate the unfairness of the current tax code that picks winners and losers in our current system. We need a complete overhaul.

I completely agree. I had such hopes for her but her vitrolic tongue lashings against the other candidates make me want to turn the channel each time I see her face on T.V.

I’m a CPA - and I have a Masters in Taxation

Sorry Solaia, you lost me at “I’m a CPA”....

This restructure of taxation will be a disastor for all those who make their living from processing and advising the public through an extremely complex tax code, for those who make their living through estate planning and attorneys creating the complex legal structures to mitigate death taxes. This will be a win, win for most of the public as all will have skin in the game and pay tax on their consumption. Which, let’s face it, even Warren Buffet needs to buy clothes and trinkets in Omaha. I understand your concern about the impact this will have on your career. However, for most of the country this will be a winner. The tax rates will go down for many (the rescinding of the payroll tax at 15%) and the net of who pays into the pot widens tremendously (UBER rich and black market entrepreneurs which virtually pay single digits or 0 in many cases) . Right now, the burden falls on those W2 income earners that have few loopholes to take advantage of to hide their income or to receive tax credits back from the feds as some in our country are identified as a protected group. A nice byproduct of a sales tax system, is that people are incented to save.

Neo Conservatives are an appropriate label for Republicans that are vying for power and control of big government. The Neo Conservatives and Progressives are two teams competing for a finite resource of other people’s money. Their end game is to pick winners and losers utilizing the tax code to acquire campaign donations and favors to broaden their power and control in D.C. They are completely self motivated and will do anything to stay in power, even if that means lying and distorting the truth to acquire more of it. This group maintains control of the Republican party coffers. They are extremely influential in picking their candidate, i.e. John McCain in the last election. Andrew Jackson had his warts and pimples but he did get rid of the notion of a central bank and the country had minimal debt.

As my 12 year old daughter stated after hearing Joe Biden’s remarks.. .That’s interesting Mom, the British thought the original Tea Partiers were terrorists too!

That’s great to hear! I have SVT and am scheduled for an ablation on September 13th... I am very sensitive to caffeine/alcohol/heat and many medications. I am looking forward to a new life with a metronome.

Sadly, I fear this will be too difficult to unwind as most citizens in this country are distracted with work/school, taking care of their kids and staying ahead of the bill collectors. They have no idea the immensity of the power and wealth shift that has taken place in the last 20 years with the advent of digitized money production, high frequency trading and complex financial instruments which have blown the lid off of the touted buy and hold investment strategies for the 401k investor. The winners and losers are chosen by our Fed and government who in concert have unlimited power to wipe anyone, sector or industry that dares to challenge them. This is done through market manipulation and regulation cloaked as protection for the little guy. The little guy is doomed to remain defenseless as the serfs were defenseless against their lords. The little guy doesn’t have the time, resources or inclination to try to figure out why. They passively are being led to their slaughter destined to being one more citizen dependent on food stamps or other crumbs their master decides to throw on their table.

I believe you are right dennisw! my thoughts exactly. Most manipulation deniers do not understand the impact that raising margins have on an investment. The Fed sets minimum margin/credit requirements on securities under reg T and reg U. However, with the recent rise in precious metals this threatens there ability to keep yields down on government debt as more are attracted to holding metals than dollars. I believe the Fed nudged COMEX to raise their margin requirements to spank silver investors to show the dollar is the only safe haven. Especially since the powers that be need to sell a boat load of debt at low yields. Mission accomplished for now.
