Bill Easterly vs. the Army
Can the U.S. military help economic growth in Iraq? Afghanistan? Africa? I've been pondering this question for some time. There seem to be a half dozen interesting articles and online debates all of a sudden. But let me start by confessing that I have looked at the historical data. Here's the ab...
The only real way to keep our economy strong is not by raising taxes, but by keeping taxes low, fair and simple. I've been looking for a way to take action and contact our legislators and sign petitions and found some good policy the U.S. Chamber of Commerce backs (here).

That is so scary! (And totally something I had never thought of.) My husband and I always "prepay" our taxes to make sure we get a refund, but we also live in a state that's almost as bad-off as California!

I don't have a lot of money (especially if they keep bumping up the tax burden) or time, but I figure this will help other people do good.

One Reason NOT To "Pre-pay" Taxes
Lots of folks I speak to like to overpay their federal and state taxes through the year. That way, come April 15th, they get a tax refund from Uncle Sam and their state capitol. Now comes a good reason NOT to pre-pay those taxes. California is now issuing IOU's to pay for, among other things, ...
