Three and Half Days - The Occupiers
Suggested by a contributor:
The Occupy Wall Street protesters are complaining about everything from corporations to having to repay student loans. Is America the victim of its own success? Have we created a generation of self-entitled cry babies? Is it time to make these people spend three and half days in the woods so that they can appreciate what capitalism has given them? Find out

Redistricting Milton: Must See Look at the Town’s New Precincts
Milton Republican Cable: “Redistricting Milton: A Look at the Town’s New Precincts”
August 10, 2011 http://www.02186.mytownmatters.com/
Why is Milton losing a precinct? Why must every Town Meeting Member run for reelection next year? Will my polling location change? These are some of the many questions Town Clerk James Mullen will answer as guest of Milton Republican TV’s (MRTV) latest cable broadcast “Redistricting Milton “ to be aired on Milton Access Television on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. and Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. on Comcast channels 8, 10 and 22 or RCN channels 3, 13 and 15 until the next episode.
Robert Hiss, chairman of the Milton Republican Town Committee, will lead Mr. Mullen through a discussion encompassing the redistricting process and its impact on Milton voters. Mr. Mullen has recently completed the redistricting process for the Town for the fourth time. “Federal law mandates congressional districts be redrawn every ten years,” notes Mr. Mullen. “Every precinct in Milton was affected this time; it will change town meeting representation.” Mr. Mullen has more than 39 years of serving local government and is currently Town Clerk and a Town Meeting Member.
MRTV is sponsored by the Milton Republican Town Committee.
If you missed tonight's [Tuesday's] informative MRTV broadcast at 6:00PM, see it again Thursday at 10:00AM or the following Tuesday - program repeats until a new episode is created. This is a must see, very informative 28 minute telecast.

Paul Ryan - Republican Address to the Nation and Limited Government
SPENDING: "In one of our first acts in the new majority, House Republicans voted to cut Congress's own budget."
BUDGET: "Americans are skeptical of both political parties, and that skepticism is justified -- especially when it comes to spending. So hold all of us accountable."
FISCAL CHALLENGE AHEAD: "Our nation is approaching a tipping point. We are at a moment, where if government's growth is left unchecked and unchallenged, America's best century will be considered our past century."
DEBT LIMIT: "Whether sold as 'stimulus' or repackaged as 'investment,' their actions show they want a federal government that controls too much; taxes too much; and spends too much; in order to do too much and spends too much in order to do too much."
ROLE OF GOVERNMENT: "We believe government's role is both vital and limited -- to defend the nation from attack and provide for the common defense; to secure our borders; to protect innocent life; to uphold our laws and Constitutional rights; to ensure domestic tranquility and equal opportunity; and to help provide a safety net for those who cannot provide for themselves."
LIMITED GOVERNMENT: "We need to reclaim our American system of limited government, low taxes, reasonable regulations, and sound money, which has blessed us with unprecedented prosperity."

U.S. Tax Code Is One of World's Most Progressive
The United States has one of the most progressive tax systems in the world, and has become much more progressive in the past 30 years, says Richard Rahn, a senior fellow with the Cato Institute.
The Swedes were on this same destructive path, but they reversed course over the last couple of decades and made their tax system far less progressive, even though their tax rates at all levels are above most of those in the United States. The result has been a tempering of demand for new government services as people at all income levels realize they will be the ones paying for those services and not some mythical "rich" person. The side benefit is that Sweden, as a result of tax and other reforms, now has one of the highest economic growth rates in the world, says Rahn.
Source: Richard W. Rahn, "Tax Inequity," Washington Times, April 11, 2011.
For text: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/apr/11/tax-inequity/
- The top 1 percent of taxpayers pay 38 percent of all the income taxes despite having just 20 percent of the income.
- The top 10 percent of taxpayers pay 70 percent of the income tax while having just 46 percent of the income.
- At the other end, the bottom 50 percent of taxpayers pay just 2.7 percent of the income tax while having 13 percent of the income.
