With all the talk now-a-days about corporate tax rates and corporations such as GE not paying their "fair share" I thought it might be good to bring up a bit of logic to explain to people why corporations should not be taxed and also how even if you tax a corporation at 90% they will STILL not pay any taxes, not really anyway.

So here is how it works and if you are looking for a long read, sorry, this topic is just too simple. It all boils down to Corporations

It has been 5 years since Bethesda has updated their hit gaming world, The Elder Scrolls but in just 2 days (11/11/11) we will finally be able to get a copy of the newest edition to the Elder Scrolls lineup Skyrim. To say I am excited about this particular release would be an understatement. I am actually freaking out with anticipation.

One of the great myths about the great depression is that it was a failure of capitalism. Much as today, in 2011, the myth is rapidly spreading that our "Great Recession" is too, showing that somehow, it is a failure once again of capitalism.

To blame the great depression or even the problems of our own time on capitalism, simply ignores the truth of history.

I love and cherish the Earth as much as the next guy. Probably more so, I recycle, I hardly ever drive, I own an old car, rather than depleting the Earth and creating more pollution with the creation of a new car. I don't use pesticides or insecticides, I grow my own food (which limits pollution from industrial agriculture and gas used to ship food). I do quite a bit to make my footprint on the Earth as small as possible.

It's true, I am a car nut.

I would like to think of a point when I saw a car and said "yea, this really interests me" but in truth I can't. Seemingly, I have always been a car nut. I remember playing with my hot wheels (I had hundreds, if not thousands of these) throughout childhood. I would crash them into each other, race them down boards and throw them at my sister. Cars were just cool to me.
