Big Government : Do U.S. Corporations Pay Their 'Fair Share?'

Another feature of Hong Kong (under the British) was that you couldn't vote for favors. Rich or poor.

Hong Kong has always had the strongest, healthiest economy. Zero corporate tax, 15% flat tax on salaried income. Everyone is treated equally. The Right wants everyone to be treated equally while the Left wants equalization. There is a difference.

Alex Jones is the Alex Jones of the right. He ran for office as a Republican. He believes in a limited role of government, little to no taxes, individualism, staunchly opposes Socialism and Aristocracy, etc.

I wouldn't mind seeing Dennis Hastert on trial too. His son had the nerve to run for his old seat and keep the hustle going. If they're not for a limited role of government they are not Republicans. Vote. Them. Out.

Democracy does indeed promote mob rule. The Left needs to understand this the next time they take to the streets demanding my money. They need to understand that just because they want something doesn't mean they have the RIGHT to it. This issue is a perfect way to challenge a Liberal and prove that they do not believe in Democracy. We need just and moral laws that no majority can vote away. And an impartial judiciary that is only concerned with the law.

There is a bigger issue at hand. Do we believe in Democracy or a Constitutional Republic? Let this serve as a lesson to the Left and Right on the proper role of government. Exactly what is the proper role? That's what we should be discussing.

"Women in peril" is Hitchcock's middle name(s).

My favorite Hitchcock movie will always be Rope but Rebecca is a close second. Love Hitchcock's use of symbolism, how Maxim gets sick around water. Shutter Island was certainly an homage as Scorcese has stated. And I love Hitchcock's taste in women. Some of the finest leading ladies in film.

I was at a Q & A and I think it was Penelope Ann Miller who said she had no script to work from. But from what I understand there is about 40 pages of stage direction. Indeed, hardly Academy Award worthy. Still loved the movie. It's the principle. The Oscar should stand for the highest quality. It's like when they gave the best original script award to The Departed which was almost a word for word remake from the original.

Very talented guy. I like how he spoke with a European Spanish accent when he went to Argentina in X-Men. He also invoked the Magneto voice from the animated series towards the end. He was great in Jane Eyre but the movie itself kind of sucked and nobody saw it. Same could be said for A Dangerous Method. He'll be in Prometheus.

I loved the Artist but I just noticed something. It's nominated for best screenplay. Problem? There is no screenplay.
