Just Say No Taxes on Internet Sales
Taxing Internet sales seems an unfair violation of free trade and commerce between the states much less the world. With the United States outsourcing production of material commodities yet having some prospects for Internet sales growth domestically and Internationally burdening the ordinary people that use the Internet for sales would unfairly punch the little guy in the mouth.
Consider for a minute the vast dark pools of high-speed global Internet trading that are done every second by Wall Street and other global high-finance companies that are entirely below the radar screen much less taxed. Those quantitative purchases and sales done in a fraction of a second ought to be taxed at F.D.R.'s 90% tax rate on the rich before any sort of Internet tax is dumped upon the individual high plains sales drifter buying special vita-oats for his horse.
Elect Congresspersons that believe in free Internet trade without vast taxation bureaucracies.

What WIll Google Invest in Next?
One wonders what Google will invest in next? Tesla Motors seems a likely prospect with the union of electric auto technology and computer driving systems. Since Google choose not to submit to Chinese Communist censorship in order to do business in China, and China is producing electric vehicles investing in electric vehicles may be another route into China's business market. It is hard to believe that the communists would want to censor automobile programming much.
Cheap Do-it-Yourself Haircuts
For cheap, effective haircuts buy an plug-in electric haircutter at a big-box discount store for less than $20. Over the course of a year it pays for itself many times over. Use the largest size plastic cutter screen for the haircutter and buzz it all over. Then take an adjustable baseball cap and tighten it up so that it would fit on just the top of your head. Set it aside
Next take a number two hair cutter screen and put that on the cutter. Starting at the bottom work up on all sides toward the top. Don't cut the hair on top you want to remain long. You should have a general taper. Put on the cap. It may set down midway or near the top of the area just cut with the two screen.
Take off the screen and try to cut all of the hair below the cap. Make sure the cap is set evenly on the head . The basic problem with cutting your own hair is you may look like you scalped yourself badly. Protecting the top part with the cap and cutting all the hair below the cap as close as possible entirely avoids that problem and presents a tapered appearance.
It may take a couple weeks to grow out evenly, yet one can become proficient at the simple haircut and save quite a bit annually. In Alaska a haircut costs a minimum of $25 dollars. For the unemployed that's unrealistic.

Satire Interview-Mr. Ed Says to Bring Crime Out of the Shadows
An
interview with Mr. Ed-the ultimate Washington insider, usually brings a load of
horse sense to difficult hot-button political issues. Lately the
buzzword phrase for rationalizing dubious legislation is that it will
bring it out of the shadows. I
wondered what Mr. Ed-the real Mayor
of Realville,
thought of that.
Expert
interviewer;
Mr Ed, besides illegal immigration, dope smoking and homosexuality,
what other matters in politics should be brought out of the shadows,
or to think of it, should remain in the shadows?
Mr.
Ed;
I have been chewin it over lately and think crime should be brought
out of the shadows. If it weren't criminal anymore it wouldn't cost
nothin to fix it or correct it saving a lot of tax dollars.
E.I.;Interesting.
Mr.
Ed;
You betcha. When tax evasion is brought out of the shadows and made
legal there will be a lot more tax payers. When
organized crime is brought out of the shadows the only underworld
will be those opposed to the former mob made legit. They just wants a
piece of the action.
E.I.;
Possibly it is so.
Mr.
Ed;
Ain't no possibility about it. If child molestation is brought out of
the shadows new
production of special
child-like robots in
Silicon Boob Valley fine
for molesting and photographin
can stimulate the
wallpaperin business and get tax revenue for bureaucrats-that
sort of thing is already
over-subject
to government regulation.
E.I.;
Anything else?
Mr.
Ed;
Well you could make robbery legal ending the problem of theft and
simultaneously changing the way people think about vast federal debt.
Newt Spangle's Inverse logic economics entirely nullifies traditional
concepts of public debt, makin debt a public good.
E.I.;
Some would disagree.
Mr
Ed;They
don't have that libertarian spirit-let wild horses run free! Think
about bringin
government corruption out of the shadows and makin it legal.
Government lawyers and cops and
judges would
be freed up to get pay increases with bribes over-the-table and
honest government by the highest bidders would bring truth to the
people.
E.I.;
Out of the shadows is a compelling concept.
Mr.
Ed;
In the shadows the will of the people is repressed, dank
and deep.
Bringing
quickie hangings after a due moment in court on the nearest lamppost
would satisfy the repressed desire for justice that burns in the
hearts of some and
light up some lives.
E.I.;Sure
Mr. Ed, you can never be too liberal in bringing things out of the
shadows.
Mr.
Ed;
Machine guns and honest anarchy ought to liberate the folks. Haven't
you ever wanted to gun down some fellow giving you the evil eye or
burn down the mission district?
E.I.;
Well, I try to keep that in the shadows.
Mr.
Ed;
Exactly! That's just what's wrong with the world.
E.I.;
Thank you for the opinions. Next week we shall return to ask you
about the underemployment and unemployment issues.
Mr.
Ed;
I'll be chewin it over.

Global Warming Reduction with Political Economy Efficiency Increase
Moderation
in defense of virtue is no vice. Business is beginning to realize
that a political economy transitioning toward ecological rationality
is good for business. Instead of making America a comfortable slum
with offshore production and sprawling inefficient urban and
suburban areas more efficient land use can produce generations of
high-tech workers and profit. The 2016 Presidential election is the
last chance for a generation G.O.P candidates to return to
mainstream business and ecological leadership and forgo the
Neanderthal extremist conservative global
warming deniers without a care about increasing greenhouse gas
emissions.
Like
early 60's gas guzzlers like the Toronado political economy has much
room for efficiency increase. The development of land and energy use
patterns in urban and suburban regions of the U.S.A. have evolved
somewhat inefficiently to producing copious greenhouse gases that are
largely fossil fuel emission bi-products. With intelligent
political-economy reform it is thought that better urbanization
structures bringing more of the population closer to the prime market
of urban areas utilizing state-of-the-art mass transit and
alternative energy technology to produce energy could create jobs and
improve the state of human health and well-being concurrently. About
4 million souls die each year from air pollution.

global warming is bad for poor countries
In
2015 the 21st summit on climate change will meet in
Paris.. G.O.P. candidates for President ought to be leaders this
time and help move the world toward better political economy with
efficiency improvements in human urban and suburban dwelling patterns
that could be replicated globally with little harm to the
environment.
It
is true that some may live in rural areas with zero global emissions
efficiency and shelter wildlife with minimal environmental impact-yet
that is a voluntary practice-most people would drive an SUV,
slaughter forests and kill wildlife to extinction-its a human social
trait. Well, back to the city.
There
is no excuse involving religion or business that can justify ignorant
unwillingness to modernize political economy toward better
efficiency. When the most ignorant lead a political party and when
extremist talk radio demagogues attack Republican candidates as not
conservative enough Democrat
politicians have easy victories in Presidential elections assuring
the most immoral social development possible. That is entirely the
fault of ignorance-wing talk radio.
Yet
all is not sanguinary with more efficient concentration of population
in urban areas in good homes designed for comfortable human living.
Urban areas without green building exteriors may become ecosphere
deserts-sterile and act as heat sinks producing micro-climates
besides. New land-owning corporate aristocracies like Lord Fairfax
who owned much of Virginia may buy up the entire rural areas of the
world for-themselves and put no trespassing signs on it for mere
mortals to tremble at crossing. Politics needs to address real-world
facts to be useful to the populous. Wrong though politically winning
platforms will not roll back the tide of global warming any more than
King Canute's order for the ocean to recede. With no change in
current greenhouse gas output the global temperature is anticipated
to rise by 6 degrees centigrade in the long run after 2050 when
greenhouse gas emissions would have doubled from the present level.
It
is necessary to reduce human caused global warming gases by at least
billion billion tons annual before 2030 or the world may become
altered beyond economic sustainability for billions. I believe that
2013 had the record amount of global warming gases ever released by
mankind in it's history. G.O.P. business leadership is required to
make an effective and adequate initial response to the challenges of
environmental decay and change.
