N.J. Assembly Millionaires Tax Plan
I remember discussing something similar with a friend recently.
My wife’s friend came to visit in their RV and we were given a tour of their new motor home. Upon noticing the South Dakota license plate on the RV and knowing the friend and her boyfriend, Larry, were residents of Wisconsin, my brilliant bride inquired to these friends about the license plate.
We both know these two people live on a tight budget. The reply was innocently enough, the taxes were too high in Wisconsin and it was cheaper to register the RV elsewhere!
The conversation turned to taxes and I specifically mentioned the problems with high, punitive taxes and used Maryland’s “millionaire” tax issue as an example. I mentioned the flight of millionaires from Maryland to avoid the tax, proving these punitive taxes do not work.
Well Larry, overhearing the conversation, became very indignant. In anger he shouted, “They need to pay their fair share!”
I immediately thought how hypocritical, here is a man who has basically done the exact same thing, yet is angry because he thinks he is entitled to someone else’s sweat. He himself doesn’t pay his fair share to the state of Wisconsin, but instead pays it to a different state, one in which he does not reside!
You see, Larry is retired and lives on a meager military pension and social security. He has been deluded to think that is is okay to use the government to steal from someone else to support him. I bet (as if I would!) he is a registered Democrat and has voted for pols from the Democratic party all of his life!
Needless to say, I didn’t have the heart to tell the jackass cum brainiac about his faux pas, partly to save the argument with my bride.
His rude awakening is coming! The government’s money supply is finite and will dry up. Those depending on the dole need to make some kind of plan, the day of reckoning is coming. There is no money to keep paying these subsidies, and taxes will soon be so high, that the average salary will only afford the worker enough money to buy his daily sustenance, with nothing left for rent or clothing.

Hitchens attacks Gore Vidal for being a ‘crackpot’
Christopher Hitchens ought to know how to spot a crackpot! Mr. Hitchens enjoys some sort of success by peddling the same vitriol and clap-trap he decries in others.
There is a small bit of a feud playing across the pond.
“It does seem like a kind of bizarre personal vendetta being carried out on the pages of Vanity Fair, replete with factual inaccuracies and not very much substance.”
“Factual inaccuracies and not very much substance” seems to be the stock and trade of Mr. Hitchens! And it is correct that Mr. Hitchens makes money from “the crank-revisionist and denialist history he is now peddling."
One man is a literary genius and the other a philosopher. These so-called intellectuals, read that as we’re smart – you are dumb, have tangled themselves into the tin-hat crowd.
Ask yourself, do these two men really encourage you to live a better life? I thought not. So do we really care when the intellectual elite fight amongst themselves?
Sorry I brought it up!

Post-modernism?
Modernism specifically refers to the movement of man away from the idea of an all powerful and personal creator God as the foundation for all. Modernity started with the “enlightenment” in science, art, literature, religion and society. This “enlightenment” was a rejection of God and an assumption to a man-centered approach to everything.
