		War dogs were trained to do all kinds of work: tracking, scouting, sentry duty, locating wounded in the field, detecting mines, physically assaulting and subduing the enemy, and guarding prisoners.

		The President has requested additional tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, and the Blue Dog budget plan would defer those tax cuts until the federal budget is balanced, including costs associated with war.

	Morgan Stanley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The current tax structure is highly skewed toward taxing the top-income earners and leaves roughly two-thirds of households not liable for personal income tax.
		The other shortcoming is clearly that taxes on cars are disproportionately imposed at the point of purchase (i.e., ownership) rather than through the actual usage of a car or through the life span of the car.
		In summary, the proposed overhaul of the tax system, in shifting the focus from income tax to GST is structurally positive for Singapore, in our view, as it tackles several key structural deficiencies of the current tax system.

		Wars do solve some problems -- WWII put a pretty big damper on the Nazi problem the rest of the world was experiencing...
		The dog tax [Hundesteuer] is not collected to clean up dog poop, it's there to "keep the number of dogs low." Cleaning up is technically the responsibility of the dog owners, who are threatened with fines in many Hundeverordnungen if they don't.
		The tax issue leads to a slightly larger point: you'd think that the Hundesteuer is there to pay for the dog poop cleanup -- but that's naive -- it's like believing they collect green taxes [Ökosteuer] to help the environment, when in reality they're collected to prop up the failing social security systems.

		Even now the army, in the midst of fighting a civil war, must go begging for gasoline from the government near the end of every fiscal year.

	Unsanitized War
		Kudos to WTVS, Detroit's public television station, for having the courage to air an unedited version of a controversial war documentary tonight at 10 p.m.
		WTVS is one of only a handful of public stations nationwide that rejected the PBS network's bleeped version of "Frontline: A Company of Soldiers," which shows American soldiers cursing as they fight to stay alive in South Baghdad.
		But, as reviewers and producers describe the documentary, its raw footage is exactly the view of war that the public needs as a counterweight to the sanitized snippets shown on nightly news.

		The point, of course, is that the people most likely to have dogs who run loose and attack anyone are also the least likely to microchip their dogs.

		Chipping dogs (and sometimes cats) is relatively common on either a compulsory or voluntary basis in a number of countries, but dogs are not humans.

		This thesis ("You might say there's a sliding scale of likelihood to go to war, with absolute dictatorships at the top, followed by authoritarian governments, unified democracies, and finally divided democracies.") is one of those beautiful unified theories that is great for its seeming explanatory power but mostly useless for its predictive power.
		And in the case of the most recent round of tax cuts, which were directed most at a very small number of wealthy voters, every obvious political calculation suggests that the response to a deficit crisis will not be to let "the beast" starve but to restore the taxes reduced in 2001.
		War has all the characteristics of socialism most conservatives hate: Centralized power, state planning, false rationalism, restricted liberties, foolish optimism about intended results, and blindness to unintended secondary results.

	Pence reasserts GOP tax-cut commitment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.), the chairman of the Republican Study Group, yesterday sought to dispel suggestions that the Republican drive for tax cuts had petered out in the face of the budget deficit and insisted that the cuts remain at the top of the GOP agenda.
		The congressman’s comments came on the heels of a Washington Post report contending that Republicans had more or less given up on making President Bush’s tax cuts permanent, and they appeared to be designed to dispel anxieties among conservatives that Republicans are abandoning their base.
		Pence, one of a handful of members mentioned as a possible successor to Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), stressed that making the tax cuts permanent is the Republicans’ No. 1 priority after national security, “particularly in the area of death taxes.” “Death taxes” is many Republicans’ preferred term for estate taxes.
