(Reuters) – A year ago, in Action Comics, Superman declared plans to renounce his U.S. citizenship.
…
Last year, almost 1,800 people followed Superman’s lead, renouncing their U.S. citizenship or handing in their Green Cards. That’s a record number since the Internal Revenue Service began publishing a list of those who renounced in 1998. It’s also almost eight times more than the number of citizens who renounced in 2008, and more than the total for 2007, 2008 and 2009 combined.

what it is about California , but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office.
Quote Of the Day from The Los Angeles Times:
“Frankly, I don’t know what it is about California , but we seem to have a strange urge
to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I’m not bragging, you understand, but
no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing
dingbats to Washington, we’re Number One. There’s no getting around the fact that the
last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, and
Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on ‘Macbeth’. The
four of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don’t know
if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form
words.” ~ Columnist Burt Prelutsky, Los Angeles Times

“this is just a gimmick. Just taxing millionaires and billionaires”-Obama
“There are others who are saying: ‘Well, this is just a gimmick. Just taxing millionaires and billionaires, just imposing the Buffett Rule, won’t do enough to close the deficit,’. Well, I agree.” President Obama, April 11, 2012
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck panders, breaks the law and must resign.
“It’s about fairness. It’s about equal application of the law,” Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, March 2012
Los Angles Police Chief Charlie Bech must resign.

However, the Chief Beck will only ignore the law for a select group of people in Los Angeles County. Continue reading Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck panders, breaks the law and must resign.
Obama care is Unconstitutional
Anyone who has read the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, Anti-Federalist Papers and other historical documents knows that Obama Care is Unconstitutional. That much is completely clear. The question is whether the Supreme Court will rule it so or whether the power-hungry politicians have put enough of their ilk in the Court to vote with them.
The Constitution is not a document of “compromise”. It is a document of absolutes.
The Constitution was written as a document of enumerated powers and not enumerated liberties for a reason. Since the early 1900s power-hungry people have wanted to corrupt that fine divide away in order to take freedom away from the citizens and concentrate it with an elite.
You are free or your are not. There is no way to compromise on it unless you want to compromise your freedom away.
The people who want “compromise” today between the parties today are dupes, or complicit in eroding our Constitutionally guaranteed freedom. One does not compromise with ones destroyers. One fights for freedom or becomes chattel.
Santorum says Obama before Romney: If they’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk of what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate for the future.
“If they’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk of what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate for the future.” Rick Santorum, March 22, 2012
That statement sounds like Santorum is just out for himself instead of the country.
Intuit TurboTax ignores their privacy policy too!
Intuit TurboTax creates accounts also without verifying email addresses. And provides no method to correct them. So, anyone can create an account using your email address and you are then prevented from using it at Intuit.
The worst part is that I called in, told them someone was using my email address to set up a TurboTax account so they sent me a password reset link. Which allowed me to use my own email address-but it was filled in with someone else’s information that apparently did not know their own email address. It included name, address, social Continue reading Intuit TurboTax ignores their privacy policy too!
There are two fundamentally opposed means whereby man, requiring sustenance, is impelled to obtain the necessary means for satisfying his desires. These are work and robbery…Franz Oppenhiemer
“There are two fundamentally opposed means whereby man, requiring sustenance, is impelled to obtain the necessary means for satisfying his desires. These are work and robbery, one’s own labor and the forcible appropriation of the labor of others.… I propose … to call one’s own labor and the equivalent exchange of one’s own labor for the labor of others, the ‘economic means’ for the satisfaction of needs, while the unrequited appropriation of the labor of others will be called the ‘political means.'” ~ Franz Oppenhiemer
According to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, this disparity in punishment violates the “promise” of “equity.”
The Big Hoax,
By Thomas Sowell, March 14, 2012 — There have been many frauds of historic proportions — for example,
the financial pyramid scheme for which Charles Ponzi was sent to prison in the 1920s,
and for which Franklin D. Roosevelt was praised in the 1930s, when he called it Social
Security. In our own times, Bernie Madoff’s hoax has made headlines.But the biggest hoax of the past two generations is still going strong — namely, the
hoax that statistical differences in outcomes for different groups are due to the way
other people treat those groups.The latest example of this hoax is the joint crusade of the Department of Education
and the Department of Justice against schools that discipline black males more often
than other students. According to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, this disparity
in punishment violates the “promise” of “equity.” … more at TownHall.com
