One of my goals in writing blogs for your viewing pleasure is to bring up issues that may not be often talked about. We all know about healthcare, the current state of the economy, the ongoing War on Terror, and the other various stories that dominate the headlines. One thing you may not know about [...]
“The Immorality of the Income Tax”
This is a follow up article to Kris’ “Is the Fair Tax really fair?”
Why do we bother to justify the income tax? Who proved it to us to be a necessity? Everyone pretty much hates April 15th, but not everyone is willing to invest in a way to balance a [...]
If you are like me, you spend your news-seeking time looking for stories outside of the norm. There are too many stories now-a-days that center around the same media driven topics that we lose sight of some of the more interesting stories.
