Freedomworks.com sums it up nicely.
Adam Smith famously noted in the Wealth of Nations that complex tax codes are “more burdensome to the people than they are beneficial to the sovereign.” Our tax code is broken. It’s unfair, complex, inhibits saving, investment and job creation, imposes a heavy burden on families, and undermines the integrity of the democratic process. We should scrap it and rebuild a simple, low, flat, fair, and honest tax code.
Here is the list:
1. THE CODE IS TOO COMPLEX.
2. THE CODE IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION.
3. THE IRS IS TOO BIG.
4. THE CODE CORRUPTS THE CULTURE IN WASHINGTON. DC.
5. THE CODE TAXES SOME INCOME TWO OR MORE TIMES.
6. CONGRESS USES THE TAX CODE TO LEGISLATE MORALITY.
7. HIGH MARGINAL TAX RATES PENALIZE SUCCESS.
8. COMPLYING WITH THE CODE COSTS AMERICANS BILLIONS.
9. THE CODE DRIVES POLITICAL DONATIONS
10. LAWS SHOULD REST ON PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE.
Stop by and read the whole thing.

Roger Simon reports that ACORN and agents of the far left extremist Huffington Post are “planning to infiltrate the Tea Parties” organized by American citizens who disagree with the out of control and reckless spending by the President and congressional democrats.
This is another example of the lefts war on the First Amendment when the basic human right of free speech being exercised doesn’t agree with their extremist views.

Our Dear Leader‘s so-called “Cap and Trade” program is really a “Cap and Tax” program that is going to suck more money from the paychecks of every American.
This energy tax is going to hit the poorest the hardest, since they pay the largest percentage of their income on energy costs (electricity, heating and transportation).
White House sources have admitted that this will be an average increase of $1,800 per family!
President Obama’s energy tax plan — a version of the failed European “cap and trade” global warming fiasco — may cost families $1,800 yearly in higher utility bills, far exceeding his promised $800 a year tax cut for 95% of Americans.
While campaigning, Obama admitted that his energy plan would cause electric bills to “skyrocket.” President Obama’s energy tax plan — a version of the failed European “cap and trade” global warming fiasco — may cost families $1,800 yearly in higher utility bills, far exceeding his promised $800 a year tax cut for 95% of Americans.

So when Candidate Obama said that Americans making less than $250,000 a year would not see any new taxes, he was lying! Get used to it folks. It’s a long way until January 20, 2013.

Yet another one of BHO’s selections, this one for Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has removed his name from the running. It was disclosed that Jon Cannon was on the board of a nonprofit group faulted for mishandling federal grant money.
A 2007 EPA inspector general’s report on the foundation alleged a variety of irregularities involving $25 million in federal grants to assess water quality problems, including those at farms and pork processing facilities. The problems with accounting, improper cash advances and similar violations stretched from 1998 to 2005, according to the report.
