If you go to the FairTax.org page you will see on the top left side a round button that will take you to the section of video clips dealing with the fair tax question. My only problem with it is that I don't think the "embedded" part of what a business pays will be given back to the public in a price reduction at the retail level. My $20 DVD purchase under the Fair Tax would be between $25 to $30 on that purchase.
Under the Fair tax act that would be a $20 DVD still. Thats because its said that the "embedded" costs due to IRS compliance etc would be taken away by bussinesses. Who is to say that the DVD makers/producers will lower the price of that DVD??? If I could get $25 instead of $20 they will do it and give plenty of excuses. like the "cost" of collecting that sales tax. They will use this Fair Tax as an excuse to take from the American public.
The Fair Tax Act has really no chance in being even passed because of the fear I talked about above. Congress needs the ability to raise revenue in case of an emergency. The CIA might not like the fact that the government would not have control of how much money is coming in. It would be out of the government's hands. Some do not like that and with very good reason. National Security could be a factor behind closed doors. Do you think?

Google has a new blog search engine.
Thats right. The team at Google are running on all cylinders lately. The new blog search can be tricky with odd results. Its still in beta so its being tweaked. Enjoy! GOOLE BLOG SEARCH.
A Better search engine for blogs is Technorrati. It has better result so far. Test both and see what your think.

In Memoriam: Robert Wise. Director of motion pictures. 1914 - 2005.
Robert Wise has died. He edited Citizen Kane [1941], won 4 Oscars, and was given the 1998 A.F.I. Life Achievment Award [the highest honor given for a carreer in film]. He was a master who made The Body Snatcher, Return Of the Cat People, Star Trek The Motion Picture, The Day The Earth Stood Still, The Huanting, The Sound Of Music, and West Side Story. He was also the editor of Orsen Welle's Magnificent Ambersons. Robert Wise has been called the "gentle giant" because he never yelled on the set and was allways easygoing. Wise served as president of both the Director's Guild Of America and the The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. I find his filography a bit of a mixed bag, but Mr. Wise will be missed by all those that love film.
I'm back!
My pc is almost fixed and I'm ready for Fall. My car did not handle the heat over the Summer months. My car which I affectionatlly call the "green machine" is a 1993 Ford Taurus thats [you guessed it] green. I have handled my car with loving care since 1997 when we fisrt got it. 2 wrecks but she is still alive and kicking!
The Ford dealer said my overheating is a water pump, radiator, and the thermostat. They said [LOL] that it would cost $1,500 to fix!!! Hahahaha. The man said somthing to the effect of "it looks like it has been submerged in water". HUH?! WHAT?!! SAY THAT AGAIN?! I wanted to yell the following: Does my vehicle look like a midgit submarine at all?! Do I look like Jacques f*cking Cousteau to you?! Don't touch the oxygen tank and scuba equipment in the trunk! I need them for long trips!!!!
This moron and others cost me half a day. Whatever they did has made my car run better. Thats allways good. I think maybe I had something caught in my cooling system. The Ford rep said somthing about leaves. Maybe they flushed out my system. Lets hope. I'm low on funds and not debt free yet. 2006 is looking very nice from the money perspective. I have $1,700 yet to pay the IRS. My $800 stock write off brings it down to just $800 and at $200 a month untill March I should have no trouble paying them the money.
That lousy rotten lame ass accountant is of course no longer my accountant. I now have one that can accually add, subtract, and my new accountant does not use her fingers to count like my old accountant probably does!!! Hahahaha. Rain Man he's not. Stupid little prick.
