Where I give you my slightly quirky opinion, and you can give me yours, as long as you're man or woman enough to be civil and control your language.

About Me
- Joe
- I was born in Miami, Florida, the son of an Air Force officer, traveled the world, was saved at age 17, and have served the Lord since. That's me on the left and my lovely wife, Bonnie...the pretty one...on the right.
There Are But A Few Rules To Follow
1. Absolutely no foul language (including the use of asterisks). If you are not man or woman enough to control your language, you are not welcome here...go somewhere else.
2. I am not looking for strings of commenters arguing with each other, so confine your comments to the topic at hand and address your comments to me, unless you can be exceptionally gracious and polite.
3. Since this is my blog, I am the sole arbiter of what can be placed on this blog. My decisions are final and without recourse. All anonymous comments, unsigned, will be deleted, as will ad hominem attacks against me or others.
4. Within the scope of those rules, you may feel free to have fun here (I sure will). Sarcasm, wit, half-wit, nit-wit, parody, satire, puns (especially puns), etc. are encouraged.
FOUR PRINCIPLES THAT DEFINE TRUE CONSERVATISM:
1. Respect for The Constitution
2. Respect for Life
3. The Smallest Possible Government
4. Individual Responsibility
This blog is about my philosophy of government, which is a very conservative philosophy.
You are not required to agree with me (although you would be better off if you did).
I am biased toward conservatism, and make no apologies for that.
Freedom means not being controlled by the government, that being the very reason we declared our independence from Great Britain.

Government's job is not to provide things for people, but to provide the opportunity for people to persue the things they want via the vehicles of freedom and responsibility.

WHY I CALL HIM "PRESIDENT BO"
I call him "President" out of respect for the office. I call him "BO" (as in Body Odor) because his agenda stinks.
I also refer to him as our "Acting President."
I also refer to him as our "Acting President."

OH, your cartoon below is perfect, Joe..Good find!
Yes, it's OVER (except I had to file an extension for the paperwork)...it's paid and done...all they need is my signature by October. I'm good with that.
Felt odd doing all this without Mr Z, I have to admit.
Glad you're feeling stress off your back.
z: I'm still a little stressed that Tax Freedom Day was so far into the year: April 9th...almost all the way to Tax Filing Day...one third of the year for Uncle Sam, just for direct income taxes.
It might depress you farther if you sat down and figured out the real burden of government on you.
See my comment on your previous post.
ablur: Quite! We don't have a state income tax here in Florida, but we have a 6% sales tax, so the idea of a VAT is abhorent to me.
It is depressing.
Right now I'm so depressed that I want to jump out in front of a parked car.
Who says it's behind us? We had to file an extension, too.
Next year should be--interesting, to say the least.
The MSM's inane response to the TEA (TaxedEnoughAlready) Party protests is that "taxes are lower this year."
Obama's even joined in claiming credit for GW'S doings.
Fact is, this is a LOT like 1992, a year in which tax rates were still relatively low ansd sure to increase, signalling many high income earners (including Hillary Clinton, who took her Rose law Firm bonus within 1992 to save on the tax bite) to take more of their money (especially bonus $$$) UPFRONT to avoid the coming higher tax rates.
That created the misnamed "V-shaped shaped recovery,"....it's actually an "inverted V-shaped recovery."
Tax rates are going to rise steadilly after this year and the lower income earners are going to get socked....they just don't realize it, don't think it's going to happen and aren't going to be prepared for it.
The top 10% of income earners will simply DEFER more of their money in tax deferred vehicles.
Lower income earners won't be able to do that.
Wait till next year. You ain't seen nuthin' yet!
