The first thing that the next GOP Congress should do is to completely phase out the current federal income tax calculator income tax code, and replace it with a simple and straight-forward FLAT TAX, that EVERYBODY in this country all pays a fixed percentage on gross income without any deductions, credits, and allowances. If every citizen has the right to vote, every citizen shall also has the obiligation to share the cost of maintaining this democracy by paying federal More

Embrace the opportunity to overhaul the entire working tax credits code, Mr. Boehner. You don't need the president's permission to do your job. Better yet, he's already on record as favoring a reduction in tax credits and deductions, so start there by doing away with the credits and deductions which let so many people walk away from their federal income tax burden entirely. When you have shown the American people that we are all truly in this together and that we are all More

Blacklisting is very real indeed. I remember doing it plenty when I was a recruiter. It's a gamble. The other side of it is that the candidate that you wanted to place is in fact good enough to get a job elsewhere. I've blacklisted people that made $10/hr, and I've blacklisted people that make $100k/yr. Qualified candidates will always have the upper hand. It's all about transferable skills. The days of traditional recruiting (cold calling) are gone. Social networking More

BO and the Dem leadership couldn't get their controls on carbon emplaced via legislation, so they're going to use regulation to bend the coal and other industries to their wills. Never clear your mind that the nation's economy is a mess. Never mind that AGW is an unproven theory that is becoming less convincing with every passing day. Never mind that, even if the USA unilaterally engaged in massive cutbacks in carbon emissions, the rest of the world won't and our efforts More

Hernando, you say there is also No Discharge for private loans or any paying off student loans loans. Well, as the work force ages and people approach retirement with a substantial chunk of student loans still outstanding, lenders and debtors are on a collision course. It is impossible to collect a debt based on the future earning power of an insolvent person who has died. It might be all a mute point ;-) At any rate, I do not believe lower enrollment is a solution! We More

@ Allison Read the Constitution. I'll provide you the text for free. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; How is providing a voucher for education establishing a religion? The key term there is establishing. You do know what that means, no? Can vouchers only be redeemed at schools promoting a particular religion? Let me answer that for you. The answer is no. If the answer was yes, I would argue against More

China's 'corporate negotiation strategies' were two fold; one denying that man made catastrophic climate change was upon so they could continue burning coal in their power plants creating cheap power, but at the same time investing in 'green' engineering to take advantage of the newly enhanced market in the west for companies trying to meet government set carbon levels. There no contradiction with those strategies, it's a pretty good triangulation effort. The biggest problem More

Well only 1 of them was unemployed allegedley also the evidence of hacking Egypt, Libya, and Iran points how to deal with annoying people activism against oppressive regimes that are currently killing their own people. I'd say that's a worthy calling. These guys aren't the credit card thieves. Those are different people. It's annoying that alleged smart people like you jump to conclusions and don't read the facts stated in the article. They are not thieves. I really hope More

The goals stated in the article are: 1) more users and 2) more user time spent on the site. Whether we would agree with these goals as users, they matter to advertisers. LinkedIn is obviously testing multiple revenue streams. If they can't offer compelling services for which users will pay, they'll have to focus on advertising. The key to ongoing value in any of these sites is whether the users are willing to keep their data current. In several cases, I have been informed More

You can say what you want about Newt Gingrich. You can attack him personally and professionally, but one thing is true, he will destroy the Democrats in the fall. People are so sick and tired of life of the excuses, and the sanctimonious hypocricy of Barack Obama, that Newt Gingrich will easily defeat him. The public is sick and tired of the exuses that Barack Obama continously offers why he can't help the economy. They are sick and tired of his betrayal after he promised More
