No. 1 in corporate taxes | TBO.com
As of Sunday, the United States has the highest corporate tax rate of any country in the world. Given the shaky state of our economy, it's not worth celebrating.
We got here because politicians have exploited voters' false belief that corporations pay taxes.

Coke caves in face of Democratic boycott threat
Coke caves in face of Democratic boycott threat | Washington Examiner
Democratic officials Wednesday launched a two-pronged attack on states with new laws requiring identification before voting, the highlight being a call to boycott Coke, Walmart and others that back a leading organization pushing for voter ID laws.
Coke was quick to react to the political boycott threat, pulling support from the targeted group just five hours after it was called.
Walmart said that support for a group does not mean it backs every decision by those groups

A few years back, a student told me that she was "proud to be black, but not proud to be American."
Far too many black students harbor resentment and anger about America even though they have never experienced segregation.
There is much more here.

It won't make you feel good.....

Are earmarks returning?
NetRight Daily » Are earmarks returning?
Bill Wilson, President of Americans for Limited Government, said, “This is an open acknowledgement that earmarks are nothing more than legislative bribery to buy votes.
But what it represents is a further repudiation by leadership of the principles that got them in power in the first place.
In 2010, Republicans pledged to ‘put us on a path to balance the budget and pay down the debt.’”
Rogers says he has a lot of support amongst House Republicans to get the earmark ban lifted, an issue which he brought up at a recent meeting of Republican members of the House.
As Rogers put it, “There was a lot of applause when I made my comments.
I had a few freshman boo me, but that’s okay.
By and large it was very well embraced.”
RINO ALERT!
