Someone has been with an organization for 15 years and is just below the boss in duty position, is supposed to have had an affair with another employee in the organization and possibly harmful information is missing from his file. Who could have predicted such a thing might happen?

Krugman argues government debt is great for our economy and lectured Obama wasn't indebting our children's children's children enough. Reagan never got the welfare reform he called for. In the 90's republican's passed welfare reform and Clinton signed it. Today liberals boast how Clinton balanced the budget failing to ...

Then let's add in the New York Mafia, How about the Sheldon Drunks, I think the Atlanta Honkies has a nice ring to it. What you suggest is little more than an endorsement of personal prejudice.

Marxism's basic theme is that the proletariat (the "exploited" working class of a capitalistic society) will suffer from alienation and will rise up against the "bourgeoisie" (the middle class) and overthrow the system of "capitalism."

As far as I know, all sales taxes are already capped. That's a big part of what makes it a regressive tax. I wonder if the author would be willing to pay a small percentage sales tax but on every dollar spent? Or maybe exempt the first $500 and tax everything after that. The author also fails to deal with the fact that...

Let's look at this a little closer. The Oregon Department of Education blatantly singled ONE, and only ONE, race that cannot be used as school mascots.

I'm sure Ms Angvik opposed the Tax Cap when it was first proposed in 1983 as well. The rationale that muni departments will spend more as stated by Mr. Hall and Mr Flynn and cited by Ms Angvik is easily countered by the concept that leaving the cap in the gutted state created by the change instituted last fall (which p...

Where did you come up with "100 state workers making $100,000"? That's a fiction. Besides, how many state workers would be required to manage a state sales tax?

The 1967 discovery of large oil reserves on state-owned land in the Prudhoe Bay area of Alaska resulted in a windfall to the State.

A sales taxes falls most heavily upon those with the least income, that is why it is called a regressive tax.

And, it wo...

You miss the point. ALASKANS will pay most of any income tax. It will cost millions of dollars to administer. And 50 Million is chump change. PFD earnings and budget cuts are the only practical way to close the gap. I don't want 4.5% of my income "redistributed" through the PFD to people who don't work
