Have to agree with Doug. No body wants to pay taxes. But those taxes provide many of the services…Read More and benefits we want and need.
The IRS hiccup is indicative of the overhaul that our tax code needs. The 501(c)(4) is now being misused by political groups who want to hide the names of their donor individual/corporations/businesses who's politics might offend their customers. Ever since Citizens United, political groups have rushed to set up the 501(c)(4) tax exempt status (on the tax payers' dollar) to promote their own political agendas. Originally the qualifier for becoming a 501(c)(4) organization was "exclusively" benefiting the community through public education. The wording was changed to "primarily" not long ago. Hence the rush to abuse the non-profit status.
Bottom line....the IRS should just ditch the 501(c)(4) category. Why should these "political" 501(c)(4)s be riding on our hard earned dollars for free

It's a prime opportunity for a flat tax, while keeping some deductions, such as mortgage interest.…Read More With respect to the IRS, get rid of the abusers and keep the folks who care about doing a good job. BTW, no more bonuses for just doing your job. And, if you plead the 5th, you're gone.

Who needs cable or satellite? Over-the-air digital TV is a whole new world, and it's free! With a…Read More $50 converter and $50 to $100 for a roof antenna and lead in cable you can watch all the local over-the-air digital channels. And unless you are in a deep canyon you can also get dozens of Los Angeles digital stations.
Most of the digital stations have sub-channels that run sports, old time TV shows, old time movies and other specialized programming. I'm sure you've heard Larry Himmel advertising Channel 8-2.

Taking my cue from TWC's refusal to show the SDSU games on the MWC channel, I left them last year…Read More after 20+ years with them and SWC. I switched to DirectTV and couldn't be happier. I not only get my Padres, but also much more content than TWC offers. The FSSD Padre games are so much better than the Channel 4 games of years past--better production, better pre-game and post-game shows, etc. TWC loyalists are missing some good programming, and (sometimes) some good baseball.

So, they are going to turn UTC into a crime-ridden ghetto just like La Mesa?
Freeways are the best…Read More transprotation system ever invented. You can go anywhere you want to go anytime of the day or night.
The Constitution provides freedom on paper. The automobile companies, oil companies and freeway system provide freedom in practice.
If you use the trolley you can only go where they go and only during their hours of operation, a 10pm transportation curfew.
The trolley system relies on gasoline tax revenue to exist. Once all the cars are off the road how will the trolley system support itself? It doesn't even bring in enough ticket revenue to pay for the broken windows. (There is a section of track in Logan Heights called "The Horseshoe" where rock throwing is a nightly occurence).

Arthur,
Thanks for your views - somewhat contrarian and charting a new path for some(many)…Read More Republicans! Indeed Mr. Issa is leading in a standout manner, found at odds with the current wind direction of Washington DC and agenda of the far-left wishes for "transformational change", of which logically America should be wary to accept without further investigation. Mr. Issa is clear, concise and forthright in the approach and scope of his Committee's focus.
