weaselteeth.com National Security Blog (which I linked to from the start) is now Blogs of War, and far better than before. If you think this is a wartime fluke, a national moment of prayer fueled by fear of terrorism and Iraq, consider the words of the Rev. Edgar Vann, a Kerry supporter whose 5,000-member congregation in the heart of Detroit supported Bush's moral ideals, but not him. The question waiting to be answered is whether it will continue to serve the nation, or whether the American left will finally be able to unleash its own version of Kristallnacht. www.weaselteeth.com

Family.org - CitizenLink - FNIF News - Taxpayer Group Criticizes Congress The National Taxpayers Union (NTU) says members of the House and Senate are not doing the best they can with your money — and the group says it has proof after studying the spending habits of Congress for years.

Interview with the National Taxpayers Union The National Taxpayers Union is one of the most important activist agencies in our nation because it represents the citizenry in its fight against the government leviathan. National Tea Tasters Board -- This commission, concerned only with tasting tea for quality (not inspecting for safety) got hundreds of thousands in taxpayer subsidies before the industry was shamed into taking over the operation entirely in the mid-1990s. National Helium Reserve -- Created in the 1930s to stockpile the gas in case of an outbreak of blimp warfare, the government-sponsored enterprise wasn't put on the path to privatization until the mid-1990s. www.strike-the-root.com /3/chapin/chapin4.html

Doublespeak - Disinfopedia However, using the term interchangeably with citizen - the military is there to protect the taxpayers - implies that the primary role of a citizen is to pay taxes, or more generally, that the social contract (again, a term with a particular bias) between citizen and state is primarily economic. The word taxpayer means someone who pays taxes, and when used in a discussion of government revenues is not doublespeak. nation building : imposing or influencing a new domestic polity. www.disinfopedia.org /wiki.phtml?title=Doublespeak

Voice From the Commonwealth In the past few years, thousands of its citizens have participated in what's known as the Varela Project, overcoming a culture of fear and calling for a national referendum on civil rights, the peaceful evolution of freedom and reconciliation. North Korea has warned Japan that it is headed for "final ruin" while criticising a senior Japanese politician's comments that downplayed Japan's war history and insulted other Asian nations. Mr Eto also insisted that Japan's annexation of Korea in 1910 was "unconditionally approved by the United Nations". zbarbera.blogspot.com

Thomas Sowell: Digital disgust So much of our national political debate these days revolves around economic matters -- taxes, health care, even affirmative action and immigration policy -- that it is essential for every informed American to have a working knowledge of economics. George Eastman changed all that -- and made a fortune -- when he began producing Kodak cameras for people who were not photographers but who just wanted to take simple pictures of people and places. Now the renowned conservative economist Thomas Sowell has made it possible for you to grasp quickly and easily the economic elements of key public policies -- even if economics has always seemed dry and forbidding in the past. www.townhall.com /columnists/thomassowell/ts20040714.shtml

USATODAY.com - States hope tax scofflaws will pay to avoid being outed on Web "There's always the question of what happens if the government is wrong," said Pete Sepp, spokesman for the Washington-based tax watchdog group National Taxpayers Union. A growing number of states are hoping to humiliate delinquent taxpayers by putting their names online. Used in at least 13 states, with zingy names like CyberShame and DelinqNet, the Web sites are giving state tax collectors a surprisingly useful tool in gathering old taxes. www.usatoday.com /tech/webguide/internetlife/2004-04-27-tax-public-shaming_x.htm

NATIONAL TAXPAYERS UNION PRESENTS RYAN WITH “TAXPAYERS’ FRIEND According to the NTU: “Scores are determined by a detailed and objective analysis of every vote that affects taxes, spending, debt, and regulatory burdens imposed on taxpayers.” The 300,000-member-strong NTU prides itself on the thoroughness and nonpartisan nature of its ratings. This award marks the second time within the past month and a half that a national fiscal watchdog group has publicly recognized Congressman Ryan’s record of fiscal responsibility. The NTU bestowed this award on Ryan and other Members of Congress who received an “A” grade on its annual rating, which is based on a comprehensive measure of Congress’s activities. www.house.gov /ryan/press_releases/2000pressreleases/NATIONALTAXPAYERSUNIONPRESENTSRYANWITHTAXPAYERSFRIEND.html

National Taxpayers Union -- 1999 Annual Conference National Taxpayers Union conference: From tax reduction to tax reform Plus these folks were sitting in the air-conditioned splendor of the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill Hotel, and we all had free access to as many dainty croissants, strawberry tarts, and fresh bagels (with whipped butter and cream cheese) as we dared to cart back to our seats. The delegates were jubilant -- or, at least, as jubilant as a largely middle-class, culturally conservative, suit-and-tie wearing gaggle of delegates would allow itself to be. www.radicalmiddle.com /x_ntu.htm

Save our universities: free education not deregulation The National Tertiary Education Industry Union (NTEU) has also claimed that all but $69 million of the promised funds will not be available until after the next election — due by the end of 2004. The neoliberal objection to socialising the cost of higher education is based on the argument that because those with higher education qualifications will generally get higher paying jobs, taxpayers who do not attend universities should not have to subsidise those who do. After the Whitlam Labor government introduced the Tertiary Education Assistance Scheme in 1974, which meant the practical abolition of tuition fees, there were improvements in the number of women, mature age students, people from working-class backgrounds, students with English as a second language, and other under-represented groups” participating in higher education, both universities and colleges. www.greenleft.org.au /back/2003/539/539p12.htm

Group cites union-led violence Though the National Taxpayers Union was founded as an anti-tax group, it began to focus more on labor unions when it realized organized labor was opposing tax cuts in California, Oklahoma, Washington and other states, spokesman Peter Sepp said. The National Taxpayers Union launched a $1 million radio, television and newspaper advertising blitz last month that features these acts of union violence. But the National Taxpayers Union and National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation officials say they are not a cover for a movement to bust unions. enquirer.com /editions/2002/10/15/biz_unions15.html

The National Education Association As the nation's largest, most powerful union, capable of electing presidents and influencing politics at every level, many feel that it is out of control and often acts contrary to the conservative views of many of its members and the taxpayers who ultimately pay for its existence. The uniqueness of the National Education Association is found in the fact that it is a near monopoly supplier of teachers to a government enforced monopoly consumer, the public schools. In the 1960s the NEA, which was founded in 1857 as a professional association, was transformed into a labor union. www.leaderu.com /orgs/probe/docs/nea.html   (2737 words)
