The Clintons, part II
February 12, 2008 by Tom Armstrong.

Taxes and moving
February 12, 2008 by Tom Armstrong.
Yet another reason high taxes may result in less revenue for the state. Notable from the opinion:
Our friends on the left say Americans are willing to pay more taxes to get better government services, but their migration patterns reveal the opposite. Governors would be wise to heed these interstate migration trends as they try to cope with what may be one of the worst years in recent memory for state finances. The people who tend to be the most mobile in American society are the educated and motivated — in other words, the taxpaying class. Tax them too much, and you’ll soon find they aren’t there to tax at all.

Bad dog

The environmental impact of dogs. Imagine spending all the money and resources (i.e. time, land, energy, etc.) we devote to pets instead to environmental causes, or maybe eradicating world hunger or disease. Every thing is a trade off.
