“Toby Miles”, You Got Some ‘Splainin’ To Do
In fact, it looks like “Toby Miles” could well be in big trouble. What, you don’t recognize the name? Well, don’t feel bad. That’s by design. That was the name used for the third email account Lois Lerner used to conduct “official business” while executing her politically-driven hatchet work at the IRS. The IRS apparently […]
States try to exempt veterans’ pension from taxes
Chock Block sends us a link from Pew which talks about states’ taxes and military veterans’ pensions. It seems that some states want to appear more attractive to veterans by giving them a tax break. Of course, the big detriment to a tax break is that some people don’t realize that the money that we […]
This Could Be Interesting
Can you say, “Lois Lerner”? Sure. I knew you could. (smile) For those who’ve forgotten: Lois Lerner was the former head of the IRS division that rules on nonprofit groups’ applications for tax-exempt status.

If You Thought Your Taxes Are Outrageous . . . .
. . .you’re right. We Americans will pay more in US Federal and state taxes this year than we spend on food, clothing, and housing combined. Details can be found here. That guy in NYC was wrong. It’s not the rent that’s too damn high.
Not a good week to be the President
