By Jon Coupal, The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association In 2004, voters narrowly approved Proposition 63, the Mental Heath Services Act (MHSA), which imposed an additional 1% tax on personal income above $1 million. The funds generated from this “millionaire’s tax” were intended to expand county mental health programs. Taxpayer and business groups opposed the measure for a couple of obvious reasons. First, California is already a high tax, high spending state that didn’t need any more revenuA Conversation With Bob Cousy

The Best Movies of 2008 Written by Movie Retriever It’s that time of year when critics make the often futile attempt to sum up hundreds of movies and twelve months of viewing into a nice, neat package. How do you define 2008 in movies? Personally, I found myself turning away from films that were too focused on the depressing. The movies that I loved not only transcended criticism but also were more often than not “positive.” Maybe Poppy in Happy-Go-Lucky wore off on me but bleak films like RevJanuary Transfer Window: Who Needs What?
The January transfer window is almost upon us and, with rumours rife in the press about which players are set for big money mid-season moves, the time is right to assess which Premier League squads are in need of a complete overhaul, and which only need the odd tweak to help them achieve their individual targets. Arsenal have been looking lightweight in midfield since the very beginning of the season.

It has been the same for millennia for other nations that have ended up on the ash heap of history. Not unlike most diseases there are almo2008 into 2009: Bonded By Blood

Back in June, I wrote a piece for The American in which I argued that oil prices were being driven higher by the immutable law of supply and demand.

So, to be clear, I was wrong. The leaders of OPEC w |
