Dear friends,

It looks like Congress is going to scamper out of Washington, D.C.
having done nothing to stop the largest tax hikes in history. In just
100 days, you will be paying higher taxes than you have in over a
decade. (http://www.atr.org/update-days-untilbr-largest-tax-hikes-a5418)What
does this mean for you, for your family, for your small business?

If you pay taxes, your taxes are going up. Even the lowest tax rate
will rise from 10 to 15 percent.Everybody's tax rate is going up, from
the kid with a lemonade stand clear up to Warren Buffett
(http://www.atr.org/update-days-untilbr-largest-tax-hikes-a5418).

If you have a small business, the rate at which a majority of small
business profits are taxed will rise from 35 to 40 percent. If you're
one out of four working Americans who gets his paycheck from a small
employer, this might lead to a pink slip for you.

If you have a family, you will see the return of the marriage penalty
(a tax bonus for shacking up instead of getting hitched) and the child
tax credit cut in half to $500.

If you're an investor, you can count on the stock market taking a hit
as the capital gains tax rises from 15 to 20 percent and the dividend
tax spikes from 15 to 40 percent.

If you plan on dying at some point in your life, you can look forward
to the return of the death tax. It's gone for the rest of the year,
but in January it comes back with a 55 percent top rate.

None of this includes the two dozen new or higher taxes in Obamacare
(http://www.atr.org/obamacare-taxes-final-tab-a4744). Nor does it
factor in the hundreds of tax hikes which Congressional Democrats have
already let through, and which you won't find out about until you sit
down to do your taxes next Spring.

ATR needs your help to get the word out. Tell your friends, family,
and neighbors about these tax hikes. We've listed them all for you in
plain English. Feel free to print them out and distribute them, too
(http://www.atr.org/update-days-untilbr-largest-tax-hikes-a5418).

America needs to know that we'll all face the largest tax hikes in
history in just 100 days.

Onward,
Grover Norquist
President
Americans for Tax Reform

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl
