An Abolition of Overtime Taxes is Overdue, Part 2

, ,

The reason I say none at all instead of merely a lower rate on overtime earnings is that a man can get by on 40 hours, (as is implied by the setting up and periodical increases in the minimum wage laws) and that it is only in pursuit of bettering oneself and his family, in pursuit of the American Dream that a man will work more than 40 hours. Thus if a man can sustain himself on 40 hours a week, it should follow that the government will also be able to sustain itself on the revenue it expropriates from…

An Abolition of Overtime Taxes is Overdue, Part 1

, ,

* Lest you think I am abandoning my site to other writers, this week happens to be extremely busy, between teaching, school and doing a garage sale, so I hope to get back to writing every day, but in the meantime you can read these interesting posts by a friend. I can not write on this matter without including the preface that I am opposed to all taxation in general, and the income tax in particular. That the government, to say nothing of the centralized federal government has anything to do whatsoever in regards to the transactions and trades of…

The Illegal Debate

,

This post title is a little confusing. I didn’t mean that this particular debate is illegal, like, outlawed by the government. I’m talking about the debate in this country over illegal immigrants. I have several things to say. As a word of caution, my first point will seem like it is irrelevant, but trust me, it will make sense in the end. 1) It is extremely important to consider where our rights come from. There’s a grammar rule that says you shouldn’t end a sentence with a “from,” so perhaps I should have said, “It is extremely important to consider…

Happy Socialist Holiday!…

,

As one of my friends said this morning on Facebook. I doubt if many Americans think of it that way. But last night my little sister said, “what is Labor Day about?” And I had to try to remember what I read about it last year, but couldn’t. I thought it had something to do with Marxism, but promised to do research on it and let her know the details. There were several reasons why I speculated that Labor Day was motivated by Marxism. 1) We must never forget the enormous emphasis that Marxism puts on labor. The labor theory…

Pragmatism over Principles?

,

I was reading this great article this morning on the real history of our country. It started off talking about how the “Revolutionaries” of the American Revolution were not part of the writing of the Constitution, i.e., the founding of a central government. Some of those who played a major role in the Revolution were fighting for the freedom to do whatever they wanted. Others engaged in it because they wanted to be the ruler, not George III. For some it was a struggle between liberty and tyranny (no, I’m not a Mark Levine fan, I find it annoying though…

Modern Marvels

I still cannot believe how wonderful my computer is. I just love my ArachnoMac…and am constantly discovering new gadgets. For instance, I can take video and pictures, add effects (black and white, etc…) and with ONE click, publish it to Facebook. For your information, I hate uploading pictures and videos through Facebok. Don’t ask me why, I just do. I don’t do it any more than I must. So to click one little button inside iPhoto and have it all done for me is just fantastic. Secondly, someone yesterday asked if my powerpoint would be available on my website. I…

Chicago Seminar Report

Firstly, I’m extremely tired. I woke up at 3.45am this morning so we could catch the train from Harvard to Chicago. It has been a long day, but very rewarding. The seminar this morning was great. We had a good turnout, and I think it went really well. Kudos to Justin and Chris for their work in putting it together. Despite some confusion and difficulty with computers, powerpoints, projects, etc…at the beginning, we managed to make it work smoothly. I was excited to meet a new homeschooling family, that always makes me so happy. It totally made my day to…

A bright summer morning

It just dawned on me that summer is slowly ending. It is September, which means Autumn. In a way, I’m glad to know we don’t have much more scorching heat, but it is a little saddening. At any rate, I was very good this morning to get up early and start working on my projects, so I can afford to take time to blog. It is very cool outside right now, a little foggy, and the sun is just barely shining through the clouds. It is beautiful. So what has kept me so long from my site? Well…I’ve got a…
