Sec. Clinton does not think the rich pay enough taxes

By Steve McGough / May 28, 2010 /

Yup, the rich do not pay enough taxes. Well Secretary of State Clinton, since you think that way, may I suggest you and your husband cut a check and pay extra local, state and federal taxes immediately. There is nothing stopping you from paying more, but you won’t do it … and you know it.

Bernanke floats trial balloon – eventually must deal with entitlements

By Steve McGough / April 8, 2010 /

The federal government has floated another trial balloon reminding American’s we’ve got some serious obligations to pay out in the next few years. They seem to be softening everyone up for tax increases and entitlement cuts.

Obama: Cut corporate tax rate to 28% – but ensure they pay more than before

By Steve McGough / February 22, 2012 /

I guess this is the political game. Reach out and let everyone know you’re going to lower the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent, but then close all the “loopholes” – in other words eliminate deductions for many expenses – to ensure the overall tax burden of corporations goes up.

Where is the money? … Give up the bucks! Where is the cash? We need it fast!

Last week, I wrote about the astroturfed protest by thousands of union employees at the Illinois capital. They were demanding a tax increase – for the children of course – that would amount to a 33 percent increase in the state income tax. This short video sums up what they want.

Everyone Must Sacrifice … for the greater good comrades!

By Jim Vicevich / January 10, 2009 /

Substitute the word “tax increase” for the word “reform” and you get the gist of the thing. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GJX8bXduLM No wait … that’s my favorite part … “change for the greater good” … comrade! Work together for the collective, comrades. The ends will justify the means. Oh brother. I am not opposed to sacrificing … for…

Limbaugh to pull out of New York

By Steve McGough / March 31, 2009 /

I understand Limbaugh’s situation is an individual case, but when you target high-wage earners with putative income taxes, those high-wage earners have the ability to work somewhere else. And sometimes they do.

Who Pays For The Stimulus? Updated

By Jim Vicevich / January 29, 2009 /

Well come on … who do you think? Oh … and we finally have that “Get Out Of Jail Free” Card. Yea!

Looking for your state refund… how about an IOU?

By Steve McGough / January 1, 2009 /

I’m note sure how to even comment on this one. From what I read, California went through a similar situation in 1992 where state workers – in lieu of a paycheck – got an IOU from the state and the employees were able to go to the bank and cash the IOU. Now, with more…

New Deal v2.0 programs, taxes and fees cropping up everywhere

By Steve McGough / December 17, 2008 / Comments Off on New Deal v2.0 programs, taxes and fees cropping up everywhere

I recently wrote about Obama’s New Deal v2.0 that provides the green light for other cities and states to go ahead and start taxing at will. New York is just going nuts, and more is to come.

47% of households pay no federal income tax
