Economics Professor

Is this man truly a genius?  An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.  The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all). After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.  The second test average was a D! No one was happy.   When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.  As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.  To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.   These are possibly the 5 best sentencesyou'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment: 1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. 2. What one person receives without working for, another person must workfor without receiving. 3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! 5. When half of the people get the ideathat they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation. Please forward to those who voted for Obama !

Please send back. ( I did ) It 's neat. Don 't delete this one, you 'll laugh when you see the return message.

 

 

 

As I 've aged, I 've become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself. I 've become my own friend. I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging. Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play, on the computer, until4 AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 50, 60 &70 's, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will. I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old. I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, I eventually remember the important things. Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody 's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But, broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect. I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver. As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don 't question myself anymore. I 've even earned the right to be wrong. So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it).  MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT 'S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART! Forward this to at least 7 people, and see what happens on your screen. You will laugh your head off!!!!!!!!!!!

Tax Havens Are Good for High-Tax Nations

New post on International Liberty Tax Havens Are Good for High-Tax Nations by Dan Mitchell Regular readers know that one of my main goals is to preserve and promote tax competition as a means of restraining the greed of the political class. Heck, I almost wound up in a Mexican jail because of my work defending low-tax jurisdictions. As you can imagine, it's difficult to persuade politicians. After all, why would they support policies such as fiscal sovereignty and financial privacy that hinder their ability to extract more revenue? So I try to educate them about the link between taxes and growth in hopes that they will understand that a vibrant economy also means a large tax base. And I specifically tell them that so-called tax havens play a very valuable role since they are an alternative source of investment capital for nations that have undermined domestic investment with bad tax policy. And I also explain to them that low-tax jurisdictions give companies some much-needed flexibility to maintain operations in an otherwise hostile fiscal environment. Let's look at that specific issue by reviewing some of the findings from a study by two Canadian economists about tax havens and business activity. In the introduction to their study, they describe the general concern (among politicians) that competition between governments will lead to lower tax rates. Increased mobility of goods and services is apt to give rise to an erosion of corporate tax bases in high-tax industrialized countries, a decline in tax revenues and a rise in competition among governments. Countries seeking to attract and retain mobile investment and the associated tax revenues may be induced to reduce tax rates below the levels that would obtain in the absence of mobility. In the view of some commentators, indeed, increased mobility can lead to a “race to the bottom” driving business tax rates to minimal levels, due to the fiscal externalities that mobility creates. It certainly is true that tax competition has pressured politicians to lower tax rates, and the academic research shows that this is a good thing, notwithstanding complaints by leftists economists such as Jeffrey Sachs. What folks on the left don't understand is that there is a big difference between tax rates and tax revenue. Thanks in large part to Laffer-Curve effects, the big decline in tax rates in the past three decades has not led to a decline in tax revenues. Indeed, taxes on income and profit, measured as a share of GDP, have increased as tax rates have declined. But I'm getting distracted. The purpose of this post is to analyze the findings of the two Canadian economists. Here are their major conclusions, which show that tax havens actually help high-tax nations by allowing companies to engage in "real economic activities" in spite of punitive tax policies. Financial mobility is manifested in the decisions of multinational enterprises to separate research and development and capital financing activities from production and sales of outputs, and so to engage in “tax planning” to realize income from intellectual property and from capital in jurisdictions different from those where real economic activities are located. ...While tax planning may reduce revenues of high-tax jurisdictions, therefore, it may have offsetting effects on real investment that are attractive to governments. In principle, then, the presence of international tax planning opportunities may allow countries to maintain or even increase high business tax rates, while preventing an outflow of foreign direct investment. ...the investment-enhancing effects of international tax planning can dominate the revenue-erosion effects. The implications of this view are strong: an increase in international tax avoidance can lead to...an increase in the welfare of citizens of high-tax countries. ...consistent with our model, governments may be reluctant to close such “loopholes,” because of fears of losses in multinational employment and, in particular, expatriations of ownership and headquarters operations to low-tax countries. ...revenue losses due to tax planning are irrelevant, and what matters is the effect of tax planning on the level of multinational investment in high-tax countries and its deadweight costs for the economy, if any. In other words, tax havens make it possible for companies to indirectly reduce their overall tax burden, thus making it economically feasible to continue operating - and retaining jobs - in nations with bad tax policy. Other economists have reached similar conclusions. At about the 7:20 mark of this video, I cite research by Mihir Desai, Fritz Foley, and James Hines that also found that tax havens facilitate greater economic activity in high-tax nations. P.S. I've done lots of debates about tax havens (on American TV, British TV, and French TV) and those of you attendingFreedomFest can see me cross rhetorical swords in a debate with James Henry of the Tax Justice Network. As you can see from the agenda, I'll also be moderating a panel on tax reform and introducing Charles Murray's talk on how to limit the state. P.S.S. There's something about tax havens that causes statists to become even more irrational than they usually are. Some of them actually advocate military action against these peaceful jurisdictions! I'm wondering if this is their way of compensating for the guilt that they feel since many well-known leftists invest their money in these low-tax jurisdictions.

Republicans Vote to Lift President’s Offshore Energy Ban, Make Paying for College Easier, & More

Republicans Vote to Lift President’s Offshore Energy Ban, Make Paying for College Easier, & More JUNE 30, 2013 | VIEW ONLINE In this week’s Speaker Alert, we’re highlighting new legislation that will help create jobs by stopping the president’s “war” on offshore energy; Senate Democrats left Washington without passing legislation to prevent a spike in student loan interest rates; the investigation into the Benghazi terrorist attack continues; and more. STOPPING THE PRESIDENT’S “WAR” ON AMERICAN ENERGY 85% of offshore energy is currently off-limits: The president’s offshore energy ban has already forced American companies to lay off workers and send jobs overseas.  [LIKE our graphic on Facebook] House passes legislation to lift Obama offshore energy ban: Speaker Boehner said an all-of-the-above energy strategy is “one of the cornerstones of our Plan for Economic Growth and Jobs.” Learn more about these bills here. Obama admin “war” goes beyond offshore energy: President Obama wants to impose a national energy tax that would destroy jobs and raise prices. His administration has blocked the Keystone XL pipeline for several years. Oil and natural gas production on federal land has plummeted. And it takes 30 percent longer to get a federal permit under this administration. White House also says “war on coal is exactly what’s needed”: The president’s climate advisor also declared “war” on coal, even though it is responsible for hundreds of thousands of jobs and provides affordable electricity to millions – and the president once posed as a “friend of the coal industry.” [LIKE our graphic on Facebook] Energy is “our new economic frontier”: Speaker Boehner recently noted that we have “more combined oil, coal, and natural gas resources than any other nation on Earth. We’re sitting on the gateway to prosperity.” DEMOCRATS LEFT WASHINGTON, LET STUDENT LOAN RATES DOUBLE Senate Democrats left town, let student loan rates double: Interest rates on student loans will double tomorrow because Senate Democratic leaders rejected a bipartisan proposal and left Washington without passing anything at all. Speaker Boehner called it “stunning,” and said this is “why we have to take politics out of student loans and put in place a permanent solution.” Republicans passed long-term solution in May: The Smarter Solutions for Students Act mirrors the president’s plan by stopping an immediate interest rate hike and tying rates to the market. Independent studies show this approach is a good deal for students, families, and taxpayers. Here’s how. Democrats thought student loan fight would be political windfall; thought wrong: Democrats were more interested in scoring political points than solving a problem for students and families. The Democrat-controlled Senate didn’t pass anything; the president didn’t urge them to; and the people getting hurt are the students who will be paying a lot more. MORE FROM THE SPEAKER’S BLOG Republicans advance Benghazi investigation: House Oversight & Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) issued four subpoenas to State Department officials last week. Real border security needed for immigration reform: “The House is not going to take up and vote on whatever the Senate passes,” said Speaker Boehner. The House will work on its own legislation, and any “immigration reform has to be grounded in real border security.” WATCH: President Obama’s policies are hurting economic growth & jobs: “That’s why,” Speaker Boehner said, “Republicans are continuing to listen to the American people, and offering a real jobs plan for American families and small businesses.”

A LOT OF TRUTH IN THIS

Subject: BE PROUD TO BE WHITE!

I have been wondering about why Whites are racists,and no other race is...

Proud to be White

Michael Richards makes his point...

Michael Richards better known as Kramer

from TVs' Seinfeld does make a good point.

This was his defense speech in court

after making racial comments in his comedy act. 

In it he raised a few interesting points... 

Someone finally said it.

But how many are actually paying attention to this? 

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans,

Arab Americans, etc. 

And then there are just Americans...

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. 

You call me 'White boy', 'Cracker', 'Honkey', 'Whitey', 'Caveman'...

And that's OK... 

But when I call you Nigger, Kike,

Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink...

You call me a racist. 

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you... 

So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live in? 

You have the United Negro College Fund.

You have Martin Luther King Day. 

You have Black History Month. 

You have Cesar Chavez Day. 

You have Yom Hashoah. 

You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. 

You have the NAACP. 

You have BET... 

Imagine if we had WET

(White Entertainment Television)...

we'd be racists. 

If we had a White Pride Day,

you would call us racists. 

If we had White History Month,

we'd be racists. 

If we had any organization for whites only to 'advance' OUR lives,

we'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce,

and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. 

Wonder who pays for that??? 

A white woman could not be in the

Miss Black American pageant,

but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...

You know we'd be racists. 

There are over 60 openly proclaimed

Black Colleges in the US ... 

Yet if there were 'White colleges',

that would be a racist college. 

In the Million Men March,

you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. 

If we marched for our race and rights,

you would call us racists. 

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange,

and you're not afraid to announce it. 

But when we announce our white pride,

you call us racists. 

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. 

But,

when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud...

But you call me a racist. 

Why is it that only whites can be racists???

There is nothing improper

about this e-mail... 

But let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on. 

I sadly don't think many will. 

That's why

we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS

in this country. 

We won't stand up for ourselves! 

BE PROUD

TO BE WHITE! 

It's not a crime YET...

But getting very close!

Obama’s climate change plan masks hidden agenda

By Peter Morici

Published June 28, 2013

President Obama’s climate change action plan won’t do much to curb global warming, but it will please liberals who delight in extending government control over large segments of the economy.

The president argues that the overwhelming majority of scientists, including some early skeptics, agree the planet is warming and greenhouse gas emissions are the primary culprit. As CO2 composes 80 percent of those gases, Obama targets coal-fired electric utilities and opportunities to reduce fuel use in heavy transportation.

The president proposes reducing U.S. emissions by 17 percent from 2005 levels through strict EPA regulation and oversight, when the market forces are already accomplishing that goal without imposing a command and control regime. 

In 2011, the last year data is available, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions were already down 8.5 percent from 2005. Simply put, by responding to changing consumer preferences, Detroit started making more fuel efficient vehicles even before the president started phasing in tougher mileage standards in 2012. 

Recently, more abundant and cheaper natural gas inspired electric utilities to start switching out of coal where most cost effective.

If current trends continue, as is likely, these market driven adjustments in U.S. energy use will take America's greenhouse gases well below the president’s target by 2020 without needless and costly government intervention.

If left alone, the power sector in the Midwest, for example, will continue to phase out coal in most cost efficient ways—by strategically replacing it with natural gas, and purchasing nuclear, hydro and other renewal power from other parts of the country. This will keep down electric utility rates.

Instead, the president will micro-manage the process by imposing strict and inflexible requirements on each electric utility similar to corporate fuel economy standards now imposed on car and light truck manufacturers. This will limit flexibility, result in the overuse of natural gas, and unnecessarily raise both natural gas and electricity prices to manufacturers, other commercial users, and homeowners.

Similarly, competition from rail, complemented by short-haul light trucks, already imposes pressures on long-haul trucking companies and heavy truck manufacturers to conserve fuel in the most cost effective ways. But the president’s program will micro manage their efforts through the EPA, and raise the cost of moving goods around the country without cutting CO2 emissions very much.

All this will make U.S. manufacturing and other commercial enterprises less competitive and send more jobs to China, where businesses pollute with reckless abandon.

With an economy about half the size, China already emits twice the greenhouse gases as either the United States or Europe. Every three years, its emissions grow enough to replace the savings the United States would accomplish over 15 years. Other developing countries, like India, are similarly adding to the problem.

The president proposes to bring China and other nations along through diplomacy, but he has not be able to obtain Beijing’s cooperation on the value of the yuan, cyber-piracy or even detaining Eric Snowden. 

No one can reasonably believe China can be persuaded to rearrange its entire automobile and electrical generation industries to suit the predilections of American environmentalists—especially when American approaches to regulation are delivering growth at less than one-third the pace accomplished in the Middle Kingdom.

The president wants the new EPA standards for power plants finalized by June of 2015 and implemented in 2016. This hasty time table is necessary to lock in a new regime before its wisdom is debunked and another round of negotiations with China, India and others fail.

Global warming will go unmitigated, and U.S. economic growth and jobs creation will be further harmed; however, the president’s desired legacy will be served. As with Obama Care, the scope of command and control over the private economy will be extended.

June 25- War started in Korea

"FREEDOM IS NOT FREE" is the inscription on the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C.  The Korean War started JUNE 25, 1950.  Communist North Korea invaded South Korea, killing thousands.    Outnumbered South Korean and American troops, as part of a UN "police" action, fought courageously against the Communist Chinese and North Korean troops, who were supplied with arms and MIG fighters from the Soviet Union.  General Douglas MacArthur, who led the United Nations Command from 1950 to 1951, made a daring landing of troops at Inchon, deep behind North Korean lines, and recaptured the city of Seoul.  General Douglas MacArthur warned in a speech to the Salvation Army, December 12, 1951, stating: "History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline.  There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster." With temperatures sometimes forty degrees below zero, and Washington politicians limiting the use of air power against the Communists, there were nearly 140,000 American casualties in:  -the defense of the Pusan Perimeter and Taego;  -the landing at Inchon and the freeing of Seoul;  -the capture of Pyongyang;  -the Yalu River where nearly a million Communist Chinese soldiers invaded;  -the Battles of Changjin Reservoir, Old Baldy, White Horse Mountain, Heartbreak Ridge, Pork Chop Hill, T-Bone Hill, and Siberia Hill. President Harry S Truman stated while lighting the National Christmas Tree, December 24, 1952: "Our hearts turn first of all to our brave men and women in Korea. They are fighting and suffering and even dying that we may preserve the chance of peace in the world... And as we go about our business of trying to achieve peace in the world, let us remember always to try to act and live in the spirit of the Prince of Peace. He bore in His heart no hate and no malice - nothing but love for all mankind.  We should try as nearly as we can to follow His example. We believe that all men are truly the children of God... As we pray for our loved ones far from home - as we pray for our men and women in Korea...let us also pray for our enemies.  Let us pray that the spirit of God shall enter their lives and prevail in their lands...Through Jesus Christ the world will yet be a better and a fairer place." Get the book, Prayers and Presidents - Notable Events of American Significance Remembered on the Date They Occurred. Fighting in Korea was halted July 27, 1953, with the signing of an armistice at Panmunjom. At the College of William and Mary, May 15, 1953, Dwight Eisenhower stated: "It is necessary that we earnestly seek out and uproot any traces of communism."   Dwight Eisenhower stated December 24, 1953, lighting the National Christmas Tree: "The world still stands divided in two antagonistic parts. Prayer places freedom and communism in opposition one to the other.  The Communist can find no reserve of strength in prayer because his doctrine of materialism and statism denies the dignity of man and consequently the existence of God.  But in America...religious faith is the foundation of free government, so is prayer an indispensable part of that faith...The founders of this, our country, came first to these shores in search of freedom...to live...beyond the yoke of tyranny."
