re: Pay No Tax For Two Months?

I agree that passing something like this is unlikely with a Democrat Congress and President. However, why stop at just two months? Why not get rid of Federal withholding altogether and let people see what their tax bill is once a year?! I'm thinking a taxpayer revolt would bring DC to its knees if that happened. No way the current crowd would ever give up the control they now enjoy over our regular paychecks.

As good as that sounds, there is no chance it will pass for several reasons.

-Congress would be giving up revenue. Revenue equals money and money equals power.

-President Obama would never sign it unless there was a upper end cap on the income level. (God forbid the rich get a tax break.)

-There is no way that anyone in congress is going to allow a two month hiatus in income to the FICA accounts.

But I like the way he thinks.

re: Nero 9, a fiddle in Stradivarius clothing

Well folks although Oront Burning Kit was decent at some things, it definitely lacked in the DVD Making department. So I did some research and found that Roxio CD Creator 9 was a better bet.

I haved installed the full version and am very happy, much happier than I was with Nero. BTW so you know, Nero 8 and 9 are a real pain to uninstall. They seem to want to permeate every part of your OS, especially File Associations. After I removed Nero, I had a number of problems with file associations, and wound up having to install an AutoPlay Fix tool, which I have included as an attachment to this blog.

Good luck, and if you need help, feel free to drop me a line.

Soldiers have a duty pending....

Acknowledged and given to us long ago.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
