Corporate Taxes, and Their Real Impact On Small Business
" it isn’t really the corporation that pays the tax, but instead it is the shareholders, employees and customers who pay them through lower returns, lower wages and higher prices, respectively. "

How Obama Will Change American Capitalism
Whether one feels capitalism is nice or not, empirically there is no debate that no other system governing a society has produced more wealth for all its citizens in a shorter period of time than American capitalism. No society has been able to produce a better standard of living for its citizens, or generate greater amounts of charity around the world, than America over its short history as a nation.
The founding concepts behind America that its citizens own the product of their labor and the government exists to preserve those rights has been extraordinarily successful. Yet it is amazing that there is even a debate as to whether or not that should be the way forward.
This article in the New Republic begins to highlight how Obama will look to fundamentally alter the relationship between the government and American citizens, by claiming that the government is fundamentally entitled to everyone's productivity and thus free to redistribute those efforts at will. Here is an interesting section of the article.
"Finally, there is the sheer size of Obama's intervention. Obama's stimulus program and its budget are going to lift overall government spending from the 30s to well over 40 percent of GDP. Its 2009 budget, along with other public spending, could reach 45 percent of GDP. That's in response to a crisis, but as has happened before, the extent of government intervention is likely to remain permanent."

Who Pays for Climate Policy?
-In total, the annual burden from a cap-and-trade program would be $144.9 billion n American households, which would be about $1,218 per household.
-The analysis also shows that the burden of cap-and-trade would be disproportionately borne by low-income households because they tend to spend a larger fraction of their income on carbon-intensive products

Tea Parties Unhealthy?
On the Sunday talking head circuit, David Axelrod suggested the Tea Party Movement is unhealthy (story here). His logic is that Obama will cut taxes for 95% of Americans, so Americans should be happy with his policies.
While a nice sound bite, he is a bit disingenuous. The Obama administration is: creating record budget deficits - which crowds out private investment; extending government's reach into private businesses - putting government into unfair competition with private firms, and; raising the cost of private investing through increased capital gains and income taxes - which makes it more costly to grow or start businesses. When such policies are combined with increased carbon taxation, the end result is likely to be less economic freedom and reduced long-term economic growth leading to lower living standards for the typical American.
While economists may differ on the aggregate effects of Obama's economic policy prescriptions, calling Tea Parties "unhealthy" is at best a lapse of judgment and at worst a potential indication of how Obama and his team views opposition to his policies.
Update - Hat tip to Instapundit.
A Rasmussen poll just released shows the Tea Parties were very well received by the public, with 51% having a favorable view versus 33% with an unfavorable view. Particularly interesting, 54% of mainstream Democrats viewed Tea Parties favorably.
Not surprisingly, only 13% of the political elites had a favorable view of the events.

Global Warming and Economic Freedom
The public is shifting its view on "global warming" according to a new Rasmussen Report. Currently 34% of those sampled believe human activity is the cause of "Global Warming", this is a significant decline from 47% a year ago.
Today 48% feel planetary trends are the root cause of "Global Warming", versus only 34% a year ago.
The "Global Warming" mantra is used by state and national politicians to push for broader and stronger regulations and taxation related to carbon energy.
As the "conclusive" evidence on climate change is increasingly criticized by the scientific community, it is silly to restructure the economy and reduce living standards until to evidence is conclusive that such a restructuring is critical to America's well being.
By creating highly invasive and complicated tax regimes related to carbon energy, politicians are again pursuing a massive power grab to gain further control of American's economic lives.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out if the public continues to demand harder scientific evidence to accept "Global Warming" as a man-made problem.
Ultimately, personal freedom is only possible through economic freedom.

Boiling Springs Tea Party American Freedom Day July 4th - The Event!
Dr. Alan Keyes addresses the crowd that has been waiting for the main event all day in the hot sun.
God is Good! We had over 2000 people attend the Boiling Springs Tea Party 4th of July event. We had people from 7 states attend. What an exciting event, to see all of the concerned citizens come out and stand for what they believe in. We appreciate every one of you! We are so proud of our community and the participation from businesses and especially the participation and help we received from our local churches. I think our churches are finally realizing that if they don't come out, they will lose their rights to worship. A very special thank you to Dr. Alan Keyes and Mr. Louis Ingram for speaking at our event to make it even more special. We love you Boiling Springs!
Mike Brady, introducing the Second Revolution Flag, being introduced at Tea Parties in 50 states on July 4th. for the first time. The flag was presented to Dr. Keyes by https://www.usrevolution2.com

I have a huge need--I need your very biggest possible donation right now, before I make my first and very important disclosure to the Federal Elections Commission.
.
I know I am the right candidate to beat Bob and to be a leader in the SC delegation working with Senator Jim DeMint to ensure that SC gets the conservative representation that adequately and properly represents the vast majority of us here in South Carolina. Truth is, I can make this case all day long, but money talks louder than anything else.
Pull up my website, www.christinajeffrey.com, before Saturday and giving me the largest contribution you can ethically, prudently and legally give me (max allowed for a single person, $2400).

Boiling Springs Tax Day TEA Party Rally and Demonstration
We considered our event a great success today, especially given that it was planned in two short weeks, by only 3 people. A special thanks goes to Mary Margaret Quinn for her solid week of handing out flyers to let the public know about the event. We had 186 people register, and there were estimated 100 more that did not register. We thought that on a such short notice the community came out to express their outrage at what is going on and wanted our officials to sit up and take notice. Only 14 months away from the Voting Polls folks. If you are tired of what we are getting then let's all get out there and put some new faces in office that will listen to the people. That's us! We have the right to be heard. Our elected officials work for us, the TAX PAYER!
Thanks to everyone that came out today. We will be in touch, with updates and will notify you of our next event, which will be bigger and better next time. Today was truly a grassroot movement just getting off the ground. We the people, are fired up for CHANGE alright, but it I don't think it's the change that Washington is expecting!
