This is What We Have Come to: Parsing the Word “Socialist.”

Some folks look for code words when they need to be looking at what candidates say. Are people calling Barack Obama a socialist because he is black--that's what the code word crowd is saying--or because when he speaks he sounds like a socialist?

Who Really Pays When You Soak the Rich?

Is taxation a social issue or a financial issue? Have you been taken in by the class warfare rhetoric that has surrounded the issue this election cycle? If so, hopefully this will straighten things out for you. Soaking the rich, as they like to say, will get the rest of us just as wet. Count on it!

Small Business Takes Center Stage: Enter Joe the Plumber

Every now and again, an individual appears that personifies an important campaign issue. Twenty years ago, that man's name was Willie. Today, his name is Joe. He is a plumber, and he wants to buy the small business he works for. His encounter with Senator Barack Obama last Sunday opened a window into what we can expect from an Obama presidency regarding taxes, and what Joe saw through that window has left him "infuriated."

Spread the Wealth Around

Spread the wealth. It's a nice sentiment but it doesn't have a good reputation in capitalist societies where making money and building a business to support yourself and your family are good things. Folks on the other side of the ideological coin, however, like that idea a lot. Guess who else likes it.

Tax Implications for Small Business in the New Housing Bailout Bill

Slipped quietly into the recently signed housing bailout legislation are provisions that should make every small business owner think twice about taking plastic and every citizen wonder whether the IRS really needs more power. The bill's sponsors claim that this legislation will quiet the storm that is raging in the housing market, but I wonder if another storm isn't brewing up over what they don't want to tell you about that bill.

A Free Economy…Maybe Not!

Congress is entertaining a plan to take control of one of the commodity markets. True, it's a problematic one--oil--but it is still a commodity like any other. Is this something that is going to help the people, or will it just add another layer of bureaucracy and regulation and bring us a step closer to socialism? You decide.
