Governor Fletcher Wants To Triple My State Income Tax!         By Theresa Fritz Camoriano          Kentucky’s new Republican governor, Ernie Fletcher, made the campaign promise that he would not increase taxes.  He promised that any change in the tax code would be “revenue neutral”.  Now, he has released his tax reform proposal, and it includes a 6% sales tax on services, which would be added to the 7.5% income tax we service providers are already paying (6% to the state and 1.5% to the metro government).  As a patent attorney, I am one of the service providers who would be affected by this new tax.  Governor Fletcher’s “revenue neutral” plan would triple my state income taxes!        (click to read more)

VET Questions?          By George Baumler         When a taxpayer pays a tax-preparation company to figure his/her taxes, the taxpayer has a reasonable expectation that any overpayment is due the taxpayer in the form of a tax refund.  Almost no one would believe the tax-preparer or the IRS should be entitled to the refund, since it is an overpayment of tax in the first place.  Let's examine the VET program and what it does to clean the air in a similar frame of mind.          (click to read more)

Moral Relativism in Politics         by Terry Gray        I heard a very interesting statement a few days ago.  I thought of not writing this little jewel because politicians may discover it and further justify their actions.  But then I realized that politicians seldom listen to us and don’t really care too much about the constitution anyway.  I heard that lying is a 1^st amendment right.  I had to mull this over for awhile and then I had to agree.          (click to read more)

CHARLES TRUXILLO TRUCKS FOR AZTLAN         By Michael A. Minton            Maybe it’s me, but some things in this world just don’t make sense. Actually, it’s more like things in this country don’t make sense. I can understand why things around the world don’t make sense, I don’t live there, and it’s not part of my culture.
