Congress Tinkers with Withholding Tax Tables for 2010

“After much investigating and several discussions with the IRS, it appears the Democrats have played a “cash-flow trick” on working Americans and are taking more out of American’s paychecks across the board–all the while touting the Making Work Pay tax credit.”
Rest at link – I highly recommend everyone read the whole thing.
This morning on FOX News they had a segment on Obama welfare cell phones. That universal tax you see on your phone bill is helping to fund the $1 BILLION dollar tab to provide “free” cell phones to welfare recipients along with 70 free minutes per month. I was writing fast, but I believe that’s the numbers.
It’s called redistribution of wealth. I prefer to simply call it stealing the fruits of one person’s labor against their will to give to someone who did not work for it.
California to withhold a bigger chunk of paychecks

“The amount goes up 10% on Sunday as Sacramento borrows from taxpayers. Technically, it’s not an income tax increase: You’ll get the money back eventually.”
October 31, 2009|Shane Goldmacher and W.J. Hennigan
SACRAMENTO AND LOS ANGELES — “Starting Sunday, cash-strapped California will dig deeper into the pocketbooks of wage earners — holding back 10% more than it already does in state income taxes just as the biggest shopping season of the year kicks into gear.
“Technically, it’s not a tax increase, even though it may feel like one when your next paycheck arrives. As part of a bundle of budget patches adopted in the summer, the state is taking more money now in withholding, even though workers’ annual tax bills won’t change.”
Well, fiddly dee. Who needs that extra 10% from your paycheck to buy food today, buy gas to get to work today or pay your heating bill today? After all, six months from now, you MIGHT get it back.

2. To accomplish this goal, it was recognized that a scheme was needed to reach the largest number of people.
3. That the scheme, regardless of whether it was a “coupon,” “stamp” or “withholding of income tax at source,” would constitute a “forced loan” to the Federal Government and it would apply to taxpayers and nontaxpayers alike, with exceptions.”

It is Christmas 2012 and I have a story to tell.
Pope Shenouda III, the head of Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox church, leads prayers at the Coptic Cathedral in Cairo, Egypt, early Thursday, Jan. 7, 2010.
A suspicious incident took place yesterday aboard Hawaiian Airlines Flight 39 that is being incorrectly portrayed by some in the media, causing some people to claim that the airline crew over reacted due to the near bombing of a passenger aircraft on Christmas Day. While the media’s handling of the incident is not the story, the “spin” could be, but I will leave that for a future topic. For now, let’s look at the incident.
