The McCain Tax Reform Plan For Long Term Economic Growth?

The writing is on the wall (street, that is), and it is telling us that we need to reaffirm the United States as the dominant force in the global economy, and that we have to do more to protect our citizens’ retirement and investment programs. Most economic research suggests that tax code replacement surgery is essential for long-term economic progress. The goal of my plan is to make sure that you are not grumbling ten years from now about the same things that trouble you today. Here’s a fifteen-point plan to end the cycles of economic frustration and global disrespect during this... Read more »

Corporate Income Tax Reform— Seriously

The investor’s eye view of politics is a simplistic, practical, dot-connecting approach to sorting things out so that win/win change can be considered. Real world politics is not concerned with such things, and that is one of the most serious problems facing investors today. There are at least ten issues that require government action if we are to maintain our competitive position in the world economy. Most of these are interrelated and need to be acted upon simultaneously— thus causing a major political dilemma. Politicians are much more interested in talking about change than they are in actually legislating it; they prefer to champion just one specific issue at a time so as not to appear... Read more »

Today’s Mortgage Interest Rates And The Health Of The Economy

Ask anyone you see how the economy is doing and there is a good chance he or she will tell you it’s terrible! At this point in time, it is a fair assessment the economic conditions have softened, but the truth is we are a long way away from a lousy economy. A lousy economy is usually marked by high unemployment, negative Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and inflation. Inflation means high interest rates. None of these things are occurring in our economy today! The economy has slowed down While it is true there is a slowdown and many economists believe... Read more »

Current Events Harm The Housing Market

Wow, what a week in the news; Eliot Spitzer, Geraldine Ferraro, Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, and gas prices jumping to record highs. What impact do these people and events have upon the housing market? Plenty. Experts were surprised this week to learn that the predicted increase in retail sales in February never materialized as retail sales fell .6% percent. What drives the economy? Consumer spending. It appears the higher cost of energy and food is causing the American consumer to... Read more »

Hillary & Barack Sweeping Kids Safety Under the Political Rug?

Hillary Clinton’s camp came up with an impressive Internet Safety Guide that no one really knows about. Why isn’t she isn’t talking about it? Barack Obama lists the topic of Internet safety for our children and families as one of importance in his technology issues section of his official website, while John McCain states, Children are our most valuable asset in his protecting kids from internet pornography and sexual predators section of his official website. So why are none of them discussing Internet safety and education issues, the increase in Internet crimes against kids’, and media literacy efforts on the 2008 campaign trail? It is safe to say that the motto, Educate Not Regulate, could create lasting, concrete results when... Read more »

Right Shows The Left How To Hit The Rich

For decades left of centre political parties in Europe have been trying to tax the most affluent in society, but have been scared off from doing their worst by centre-right Conservative Parties and the majority of the media with threats of how it would irrevocably damage their economies with a flight of capital abroad. And politicians from both the left and the right have seen globalisation and the free movement of capital and people as key to improving economic growth, allowing investors and entrepreneurs to engineer new companies and improve... Read more »

John McCain Is In For a Rough Ride

The biggest news so far this election, is former front runner Mitt Romney dropping out of the race. Where will this lead the country? Will Huckabee or Ron Paul step up and seriously challenge John McCain, or will the party just join together to beat the democrats? The longer Obama and Hillary are attacking each other the better it is for the republicans… What is the only problem? John McCain just does not appeal to the conservative base like Mitt Romney did. I am finding myself hard pressed to believe that the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, and Jay Severn will have an easy time throwing their support behind John McCain. These... Read more »

What Does L.I.A.R. Stand For And How Will It Affect The 2008 Presidential Elections?

In the past few years our elected Republicans have completely turned away from Conservative principles and have actually promoted Liberal doctrine. We have seen this in the out-of-control spending and unjustified beliefs in junk science and more government control of our lives. What was once a Republican election victory through the, “Contract with America” concept has now become the Death Warrant of the same Party. The question is why? Why did the Republicans who lost all of these seats go south on the Conservative principles that made this country so great? I have surmised of a plan and I call this the L.I.A.R. Conspiracy. L.I.A.R. is an anagram for, “Liberal Imitating A Republican”. There are many L.I.A.R.s in and out of office.... Read more »

Bayonets Not Bombs

Seems Iraq is not a “popular war″. Which basically means that because we aren’t full-out winning the war by the time the nightly news stops for a commercial break, people think twice about it? And as of recently, I’ve been seeing many people make comparisons between Iraq and Vietnam. (Especially from the criminals in D.C. who’re using the unpopular war opinion to further their own political careers) Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska warned that President Bush’s new plan to send in more troops would be “the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam, if it’s carried out.” Well if protecting... Read more »
