“High tax rates in the upper income brackets allow politicians to win votes with class warfare rhetoric, painting their opponents as defenders of the rich. Meanwhile, the same politicians can win donations from the rich by creating tax loopholes that can keep the rich from actually paying those higher tax rates - or perhaps any taxes at all. What is worse than class warfare is phony class warfare. Slippery talk about 'fairness' is at the heart of this fraud by politicians seeking to squander more of the nation's resources.” HeartWinningNationsClassRichPaintingHigherPoliticianTaxesCreatingResourcesVoteRateSeekingIncomeOpponentsFraudFairnessWarfareRhetoricDefendersPhonySlipperyDonationClass WarfareLoopholesBracketsHigh Taxes Author:Thomas Sowell
“Cartoons are perhaps a bigger part of art than is generally realized, and they influence people in ways that are not always recognized.

“Everybody would be better off if they could buy housing for only, let's say, a carrying charge of one-quarter of their income. That used to be the case 50 years ago. Buyers had to save up and make a higher down payment, giving them more equity - perhaps 25 or 30 percent. But today, banks are creating enough credit to bid up housing prices again.” IfsGivingYearsEnoughWould BeTodayUsedCasesHigherCreatingPercentYears AgoCreditIncomeUsed To BeQuartersBetter OffEquityHousingPaymentBuyers Author:Michael Hudson
“We know that things like energy independence, getting off oil, getting out of the Middle East, and creating jobs and economic development in the new clean energy industries of the future are much higher priorities for most voters than capping carbon emissions or taxing dirty energy sources.

“There is no evolutionary pressure to create minds capable of forming sciences; it just happened. Evolutionary pressure has not led to higher rates of reproduction for people capable of solving scientific problems or creating new scientific ideas. So if, in fact, the science-forming capacities evolved for other reasons, it would not be too surprising if those particular structures that have developed proved to be rather special in their nature, reflecting the contingencies of their evolution or the working of physical law.” PeopleIfsMindIdeasReasonFactsProblemLawHappenedSpecialParticularEvolutionHigherCreatingCapableCapacityPressureStructureRateSurprisingReflectingReproductionContingency Author:Noam Chomsky
“In working on any one problem, such as higher minimum wages, so many other issues come into play, such as some businesses possibly closing down, thus creating fewer jobs and more unemployment and incentivizing companies to import more goods from abroad, which leads to even less employment at home, and so on.” PlayProblemHomeJobsCompanyIssuesHigherCreatingEmploymentGoodsFewerMinimumUnemploymentWagesClosingMinimum WageImportsClosing Down Author:Philip Kotler
“There is no God separate from you, no God higher than you, the real "you." All the gods are little beings to you, all the ideas of God and Father in heaven are but your own reflection. God Himself is your image. “God created man after His own image." That is wrong. Man creates God after his own image. That is right. Throughout the universe we are creating gods after our own image.
