The Ol' Fat Guy Blathers On

If We Do What 'They' Do....     Well here we are.... back from the CHRISTMAS and New Year's holiday seasons-survivors, all!!  Although there was some speculation on my part.  The "Young Miss Lovely" and I were invited and attended her side's family Christmas Eve dinner.  Normally this gala is a gastronomic delight... this time, not so much.  Rather than cook~ the best cook in the family ~decided that he was going to strike and made reservations at a local Chinese restaurant where we all eventually met.  I think that's where I contracted some kinda' ' bacterial virus ' which laid me low for over a week [just today~ Monday ~I'm feeling like I might~ just might ~survive].     OK, back to the point of this rant: I'm kinda' guessin' that you've seen the latest on the militia-persons occupying that national wildlife refuge in Oregon, in support of the " father-son " Hammond s' who are to report to prison today~ M...

My Take On The Current Crap... A lot'a crap going on, both personally and nationally, to wit: 1.  Notice how~ when something's going on in the national body-politic ~it's a signal for " ClownPrince " obama to do something shady?  Most recently~ while his royal Popeness was in the country propping up the obama legacy ~the " ClownPrince " took the opportunity to release the muslim terrorist trained to be the 20th hijacker for the 9/11 muslim terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. 2.  Donald Trump has released his tax plan.  I think it's wrong on two points: a]  While it reduces the number of brackets from six to four and reduces the percentage levels of the remaining brackets, it still has more than one level .  A far better plan would be the referenced one level.  Everyone pays the same rate as everyone else, no matter how much he/she/it earns. b]  Whether it's Trump 's income tax proposa...

It Seems Some 'More Equal' Than Others     The 14th Amendment assures that all citizens of the United States are treated similarly~ equally ~under the law.  This amendment was originally intended to protect ALL Americans from injustices by insuring they were given " full and equal benefit of all laws ."  I contend that "the law" was meant to include the onerous rules and regulations of the IRS.  That being said, have you ever not fulfilled the filing requirements of said IRS?  Neither have I, most probably out of fear of 'going to jail' for non-payment of possible taxes due.      The IRS~ in one form or another ~has been around seemingly forever.  The first "income" tax in America was levied to finance the Civil War and it's only gotten worse since then.  Ever notice that no matter how the tax is levied in the modern era, the government continues to get larger and larger and larger?!?
