Why are there so many foreigners collecting maximum social security withholding 2012 security? I have a friend who's girlfriend worked in a social security office, and she said some of these foreigners have multiple identities, and collect multiple checks, and they aren't even CITIZENS?!!! There are also a lot of lazy mothers who put their children on medications to collect multiple social security Read More]]> http://www.imahidol.com/some-thoughts-on-health/feed/ 0 http://www.imahidol.com/a-commentary-on-wsjnbc-news-poll-finds-support-lacking-for-entitlement-reductions/ http://www.imahidol.com/a-commentary-on-wsjnbc-news-poll-finds-support-lacking-for-entitlement-reductions/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:27:56 +0000 admin http://www.imahidol.com/a-commentary-on-wsjnbc-news-poll-finds-support-lacking-for-entitlement-reductions/ Do recall that the 47% who don't pay income taxes do pay social security taxes, sales taxes, state taxes, various usage fees, taxes funding medicwhen are taxes due 2012, and the like. I think you'll find that those 47% do end up paying about 8-12% of their incomes in taxes to the various levels of government. The poor in this country hardly live tax free. I know it sucks to have a lot of income and have to pay taxes a lot of people don't.

It is the most played and watched sport on the planet. In soccer there are no helmets or shoulder pads, no time-outs, no commercial breaks, no warm dug-outs. no marching car tax bands, no halftime extravaganzas, no bimbos jumping around on the sidelines... so it that is what you need, play another sport you big wuss. The reason Americans have seen very little soccer Read More]]> http://www.imahidol.com/opinion-on-as-the-world-cup-ends-how-to-make-soccer-less-boring/feed/ 0 http://www.imahidol.com/a-response-to-apples-cloud-cover/ http://www.imahidol.com/a-response-to-apples-cloud-cover/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:25:58 +0000 admin http://www.imahidol.com/a-response-to-apples-cloud-cover/ There have been various articles in technical publications decrying iPad's lack of a proper tax file number cabinet, and I have been puzzled that Apple never created one. But now I see that the strategy is to use iCloud as the file cabinet, sharing documents and photos between iPad, iPhone, and iMac (and I presume other platforms). Automatic sync'ing also means automatic backup. For documents and photos, this is ideal. I'm not sure how Read More]]> http://www.imahidol.com/a-response-to-apples-cloud-cover/feed/ 0 http://www.imahidol.com/an-opinion-on-harvey-silverglate-yes-means-yesexcept-on-campus/ http://www.imahidol.com/an-opinion-on-harvey-silverglate-yes-means-yesexcept-on-campus/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:25:35 +0000 admin http://www.imahidol.com/an-opinion-on-harvey-silverglate-yes-means-yesexcept-on-campus/ If my sons were there, I would hope that they would avoid having anything to do with said fraternity. If my daughter were there, I would hope that she would avoid having anything to do with said fraternity. In any case, I doubt that boorish stupidity on the part of a couple of frat boys endangers anyone. Yale should have handled this by calling the families of the offending miscreants and letting them know what a set of jackwagons they Read More]]> http://www.imahidol.com/an-opinion-on-harvey-silverglate-yes-means-yesexcept-on-campus/feed/ 0 http://www.imahidol.com/some-thoughts-on-arthur-b.-laffer-cains-stimulating-9/ http://www.imahidol.com/some-thoughts-on-arthur-b.-laffer-cains-stimulating-9/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:22:50 +0000 admin http://www.imahidol.com/some-thoughts-on-arthur-b.-laffer-cains-stimulating-9/ Mr. Adams, not sure if you're asking me or McCafferty, but I'll reply. Laffer's comment about an exclusion for the poor applies only to the income-tax 9%, not the sales tax calculator-tax 9%. Laffer/Cain would not allow an income-tax deduction for sales taxes (which were deductible prior to the mid-1980s). So no need under their plan to save receipts. I would allow a sales-tax deduction, mainly to encourage the poor to file and to track Read More]]> http://www.imahidol.com/some-thoughts-on-arthur-b.-laffer-cains-stimulating-9/feed/ 0 http://www.imahidol.com/opinion-on-a-defiant-steve-jobs-confronts-antennagate/ http://www.imahidol.com/opinion-on-a-defiant-steve-jobs-confronts-antennagate/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:22:12 +0000 admin http://www.imahidol.com/opinion-on-a-defiant-steve-jobs-confronts-antennagate/ The bumpers are worthless -- a $3 fix! The bumper renders my old leather case for my 3G useless because it can't fit. What happened today was Apple's attempt to try the case in public -- it can go to court and ask the judges to dismiss all those pending class action lawsuits: your Honors, plaintiffs cannot prove damages, even if we deceived them because we offered them free $3 covers and the opportunity to return the handset for a full Read More]]> http://www.imahidol.com/opinion-on-a-defiant-steve-jobs-confronts-antennagate/feed/ 0 http://www.imahidol.com/analysis-on-the-federal-reserve-says-lets-do-the-twist/ http://www.imahidol.com/analysis-on-the-federal-reserve-says-lets-do-the-twist/#comments Sat, 10 Mar 2012 00:20:43 +0000 admin http://www.imahidol.com/analysis-on-the-federal-reserve-says-lets-do-the-twist/ Twist is a good move for temporary recovery. For long term, we should go with Buffet. Buffet, world's richest and smartest guy backs and helped create the Jobs and Tax plans. Boehner, TP and GOP ignore Buffet as though he were a penniless beggar & Hi-school flunkee.

There is no way, now how anyone is going to agree with this. I think he is setting up his own defeat in the November, when are taxes due 2012 election. Once again he is trying to force the Republicans to pass these changes. Obama has deliberately waited until the last minute to create a crisis.

Parents should use this to discuss what the child tax credit calculator should focus on eating for that day. This is best done on the weekend before the start of school.On days the child does not like the menu, pack her lunch the night before with her help.
