From the Gazette: Chapter 2A, like all the other chapters of the Internal Revenue Code, seems to be written with the specific intent that it should never actually be understood by anyone.) Chapter 2A does create a new 3.8 percent tax to support Medicare. The tax begins in 2013. It applies to “investment income”  and affects only individual taxpayers with an income in excess of $200,000 and couples filing a joint return with an income in excess of $250,000.
Now, putting this in the context of the sale of a home, for a married couple the first $500,000 of gain from the sale of a home is exempt. For an individual taxpayer, the exemption amount is $250,000. Once a taxpayer has used up the exemption, the gain from the sale becomes investment income and is subject to a regular capital gains tax of 15 percent. Under the new law, if a taxpayer exceeds the income threshold amount stated above, the 3.8 percent Medicare support tax will also apply.

The Canada Free Press writes: Trial of the United States vs. The Holy Land Foundation et al The document that should stop the Islamic “Victory Mosque” By Doug Hagmann Monday, August 23, 2010 
Feisal ABDUL RAUF is indeed an adherent and promoter of the Muslim Brotherhood’s goals and objectives. Any doubt to his Muslim Brotherhood connections are addressed by the excellent and timely report by Alyssa A. Lappen, which is required reading for factual insight into ABDUL RAUF’s link to the Muslim brotherhood.
Clearly, according to this document, the objective of the Muslim Brotherhood is to convert the U.S. into an Islamic nation through sabotage and subterfuge.  It is a handbook to achieve that end. The author painstakingly describes the process of “settlement,” among others, and further described its meaning and the methods to be employed:

The process of settlement is a “Civilization-Jihadist Process” with all the word means. The Ikhwan* must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. [Emphasis added].

The succinct analysis by Ms. Lappen of point 17 of the document clearly illustrates that “building Islamic centers equals building military “battalions,” points from which to later stage the planned destruction of the West.”
And what better place inside our front lines is there but within the perimeter of destruction at Ground Zero?
* Ikhwan (Arabic for brothers) was the Islamic religious militia which formed the main military force of the Arabian ruler Ibn Saud.  http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/26849

From Michigan Capitol Confidential: Oakland County Clerk Ruth Johnson, a candidate for Michigan Secretary of State, says she has evidence of forgery in one of the candidate statements for the "Tea Party" political party. The supposed candidate, Aaron Tyler of Springfield Township, has been in Phoenix, AZ, and told Johnson's office that he did not wish to be a candidate, did not sign his name on candidate statement paperwork, and had no idea his name was in the process of being placed on the ballot.  http://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/13429

Reuters reports: The biggest U.S. companies stepped up their lobbying on Monday to block Democrats' plans to let taxes on wealthier Americans rise at year's end, asking lawmakers not to cut short the hearing process in Congress. (snip) Republicans and business contend that raising taxes on the top income classes will choke the economic recovery, and they are demanding that Democrats commit to "regular order" in the Senate. That process includes hearings, mark-up of legislation and then movement to the Senate floor for a vote. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE67M3XO20100823

Daily Caller reveals: Alveda King, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s niece and one of Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor rally’s keynote speakers, said if her uncle were alive today, he’d choose to attend the Aug. 28 rally that “demonstrates the spirit of love and unity and peace.” (snip) Alveda King said she think Beck embraces the meaning of her late uncle’s “I have a dream,” speech, and aims for trying to reach a better tomorrow, better than the NAACP.

From Daily Caller: While much attention has been focused on questions surrounding the Ground Zero mosque and the appropriateness of the State Department funding Ground Zero mosque imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s trip to the Middle East, little attention has been given to the fact that U.S. taxpayer money is funding mosque development around the world.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has also spent millions reconstructing and financing multiple mosques in Cairo and Cyprus, as well as providing computers for imams in Tajikistan and Mali.
