Wrong - I invest my after tax income into stocks or a company, and hopefully it appreciates over the next year, or 5 years or 20 years. When I sell, hopefully at higher price than my investment, it will be taxed at a lower rate of return on investment than ordinary income because 1) I took a risk and 2) the holding period was uncertain. My annual rate of return varies, based on the number of years I owned the investment. It Read More

James, The proof that a bailout was necessary is one of the lessons of the Great Depression. In the early 1930's the banks were not federally insured and collapsed like dominos. Most economists now agree that this error deepened and prolonged the childhood depression. Your comment on the stimulus is in the same vein. Not sure where you get your numbers but the total stimulus authorized in 2008 was only about $900 billion, of Read More

No- I don't think you get it. Without the investor's capital, there would be no FedEx; 212,000 people out of work. There would be no negative working capital capital to pay the bills or cut paychecks. Without acceptable returns, investors will go elsewhere. Excess labor is just overhead. Investors are just as important, I would argue more important, than the employees- you can always find someone to pack a truck or fly a plane, Read More

Bravo, Mr. Golub. You are 100% correct to ask about the effectiveness of governement programs. It was astounding during the debt celiling debate that the government's CEO didn't state look for savings inside his own operation the job training programs. A March 1 GAO report on redundant government programs cites an example of 87 separate teacher job training programs across 10 agencies in 3 departments. Do we really need 87 Read More

Roxie, teaching code shoudl be done with an interactive softwaer tool. ALICE is free from CMU and it's a good programming teacher. The only way to learn programming is by buying or barrowing a book on a language learning strategies with example programs and learning through trial and error and reading programs written by other people. I have not taught anyone to write code but I've fixed bugs in the code written by other progrmamers. Every Read More

I agree, the problem is with Oligarchs, but Verizon and Comcast are included. As for the pricing structure, it is up how to make a long distance relationship work the market to decide, provided there is true competition. I am sure you all remember the cost of long distance calls. Now it is easy to find truly free long distance without significant restrictions. I believe it is due to the monopoly breakup and the existence of Read More

What is it with the monkey bars? Why is it that all articles regarding military expert witness training in the Middle East, whether local military, paramilitary, police, insurgents or terrorists, are always accompanied by a photo of armed men on monkey bars. Are monkey bars the only training equipment available in these camps, are monkey bars skills particularly useful in desert or guerilla warfare? It's been this way forever. Read More

I would not mind a national sales 2012 tax brackets so long as it did not include basic necessities such as food. Also, I would like to see a sales tax that was higher for items such as yachts, expensive clothes, jewelry and air travel than it is for wheel barrows and bicycles. I agree with you completely about cutting subsidies to powerful industries. As for a flat tax being simple, I think without loopholes it would be just Read More
