let's talk not about WSJ and the analyst and their relationship, but about the 5 TRILLION that the US taxpayer has taken on, fearlessly, without any objections from anyone who is paid to look out for the taxpayer and his currency.]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2008 10:46:47 -0400

-8.5% state ax
-5% city tax
-16 % medicare + social security tax
- 8.75 % sales tax
- $1500 / month property tax
- some 9 taxes on my phone bill


And BTW, you DON'T get health insurance after all these taxes. You still have to pay for it. Comparing "low" US taxes (ie, comparing only Fed taxes), to "high" taxes elsewhere.... very clever - in EU, they get health coverage as part of their tax burden.

But if your competitor gets away with it, you are a fool not to. That is why, unlike Mr Greenspan who blames the "investment community", I would lay the blame squarely on the government.

Eventually, it is the government which draws the line between what is permissible and what is not. If the govt goes on holiday, or on obtuse lecture tours, then eventually everyone will be forced to become a thief.]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:01:29 -0400
