More taxation ideas

• News from the Guardian U.K. reveals that fifty of the least developed countries on this earth have suggested a way to get billions of dollars from others to fund their climate change abatement. They have proposed a tax on international air travel . Curiously, they have not chosen to actually make any behavior changes, nor to consider that humans have not caused the "climate change" and cannot therefore halt it. In fact, as shown later in this blog, temps are getting ever colder over the last 10 years, even setting new lows not seen since 1943, when manmade "climate change" was not being suggested. This taxation "suggestion" could be matched by a shipping fuel surcharge, according to Connie Hedegaard, the Danish environment and energy minister who will host the final UN climate summit in December.. Haven't we already been paying that surcharge when we fly? I think so, but not enough for poor countries to help in making the US another poor country so that we can all be equal....

In another move to supress those Americans who have worked hard to earn a good living, Bloomberg reports that President Barack Obama wants Congress to consider taxing the wealthy instead of workers to pay for a health-care overhaul, as House Democrats discuss a plan to require health insurance for most Americans. Beware! The "lucky" rich will never have paid enough taxes to satisfy Barack Obama. In yet another move to prevent Obama's promise of lowering taxes for 95% of American tax payers, Democrats are now considering the taxation of everyone's employer paid health care insurance.

Concerning the Obama Stimulus Plan, the Federal Reserve announced a $1.2 trillion plan three months ago designed to push down mortgage rates and breathe life into the housing market. Quite the opposite is occuring, as rates are heading higher in response to concern for inflation brought on by our massive National Debt.


In the latest news about "global warming", Green Bay, Wisconsin recorded a high temperature of 52, the lowest high temp there since 1943, according to the National Weather Service.

And snow has fallen in Dickinson, North Dakota in June, the first time in nearly 60 years the city has seen snow past May.


A follow-up on Obama's desire to force a"Buy American" policy on any stimulus monies: in retaliation, Canadian mayors have passed a resolution that could shut out U.S. bidders from local city contracts. One wonders what other countries will decide to block American companies from gaining business in theirs.
