Opinion & Analysis
OPINION: There can be little doubt that politics significantly affects the shape of a tax system. Tax revenue is the lifeblood of government, as it provides the cash with which spending policies are funded. Never is that more apparent than in an election year.
The politics of tax raises its head in two main areas. Firstly, how much tax needs to be collected? That depends on the economic and social model that is desired. At one end of the spectrum are purist capitalist economies. For example, one source puts Singapore's total tax revenue at around 14 per cent of gross domestic product. In such countries, greater emphasis is placed on individual responsibility. At the other end of the scale are social democracies, such as the Nordic countries, where tax revenue is reported as being closer to 45 per cent of GDP. The implied social contract is that in return for high taxes, the government will deliver a high level of social services. New Zealand is said to be in the middle, with tax revenue at 34 per cent of GDP.
A second area of political interest in tax is how the tax burden is to be shared. Inland Revenue statistics show how this has changed over a ten year period. Sources of tax are summarised into three main areas, being individuals (including trusts), company tax, and GST. Smaller areas include lesser value types of tax, such as levies and duties.
The following table includes information from the Commissioner of Inland Revenue's annual reports for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2013. It shows how much tax was collected and its source.
Individuals $19,209b $25,907b
Corporate $5,543b $10,447b
Other direct $3,38b $3,054b
GST $7,467b $14,008b
What's immediately apparent is the increase in the size of the total tax take.
What's less easy to see is how the proportions have changed over the years. The share paid by individuals fell from 53.5 per cent in 2003 to 48 per cent ten years later. Over the same period, the share paid by companies increased from 15.4 per cent to 19.4 per cent, and the GST take increased from just under 21 per cent to more than 26 per cent.
With a "broad base low rate" philosophy, it will be interesting to see how this blend of taxes will be debated and whether new taxes, such as a capital gains tax, ought to be added into the mix.
Personal tax rates are also usually a hot tax topic and a key area of political difference. More than ten years ago, the Labour government added a surcharge to the tax rate applying to income over $60,000 per annum. More recently, a National government removed it.
Even so, Inland Revenue statistics show that in 2002, the top 10 per cent of earners paid around 44 per cent of the individual tax take. By 2011, after National's tax changes, they paid around 45 per cent.
At the other end of the scale, the lower half of earners paid around 12 per cent of individual taxes in 2003. In 2011, they paid just over 10 per cent.
The amount of tax paid by individuals is also affected by "bracket creep". That's where increasing incomes put earners into higher tax brackets because the thresholds aren't adjusted for inflation. It's an area that should be more regularly addressed.
As this election year progresses, tax will be at the forefront of political debate. Already, we have seen Labour's recent announcement on the withdrawal of their policy for a tax free threshold and the removal of GST on fresh foods. Let's hope politicians remember the six principles of a good tax system: promoting growth, fairness, revenue integrity, affordability, simplicity and overall coherence.

With the way gas was a few months back, there is no guarantee it wont skyrocket again. Thats why Reno and Tony wanted to be proactive about their transportation needs. They hit up a beach bike and scooter shop only to be greeted by a fine, big titty, olive skinned salesperson type. Her name was Savana and what happened next was nothing short of epic. She wanted a sale. Badly. Reno sensed a potential path into her panties and wanted to make sure he drove the hardest literal and figurative bargain possible. She offered a 2 person test ride that quickly became a ride of another sort. When she broke out her bad ass boobs it was indeed a nipplicious day.

If Companies Had Realistic Slogans
This great Reddit post has gotten over 16,000 comments. So we took our favorites and made logos out of them.
Before coming to work at BuzzFeed, I was an ad copywriter for 20 years.
I wrote thousands of taglines in that time (scant few good ones, none that you know).
After reading through all the comments on this Reddit post, I picked out my favorites.
But there were many other good ones.
Either there are a lot of ad veteran redditors, or there are a lot of redditors who could get good jobs in advertising, if they wanted to.
Enjoy their creativity.
Acronym fun.
This is my favorite, I think.
Reference, if you don't understand it.
Honorable mention: "Probably Money Laundering"
- A University of Cincinnati officer has been charged with murder for shooting Samuel Dubose, an unarmed black man.
- Mullah Omar, the Taliban's reclusive leader, died more than two years ago, Afghan officials say. The Taliban hasn't commented.
- Debris found on an island in the Indian Ocean belongs to the same type of aircraft as the missing Malaysia Airlines flight, a U.S. official told the Associated Press.

Tyler The Creator Releases Wolf, Five Alternative Album Covers
Man, the Odd Future bubble popped with more propulsive force than the 2008 housing market.
It seems like these days, the only member of the once-controversial hip-hop troupe is R&B crooner, Frank Ocean.
See also
- Frank Ocean's "Forrest Gump" Grammy Performance Was Like a Box of Turds
And why is that? Because everyone else in the band has been boring as hell. Ocean is a bisexual rich kid who sings about being both. What does the rest of Odd Future have to show for themselves?
Tyler The Creator recently revealed a trio of covers for his upcoming full-length, Wolf. And all three suck.
Here are five suggestions for cover art that would be at least 10,000 times better than the present craptacular selections.
5. Miley Cyrus
The former Disney tween princess turned hard partyin', promiscuous pop-tart recently teamed up with The Creator for a collaborative track. The relationship is mutually beneficial: Tyler gives Cyrus street cred, and Miley helps the Odd Future commando crossover to tweenagers usually afraid of black people. They both should have upped the ante and just slapped good ol' Hannah Montana on the cover of Wolf.
4. NASCAR Style Branding
Hey, didn't Odd Future invent Tumblr rap? These kids are the future of branding! So its surprising to us that Tyler and/or his handlers didn't think to exploit the potential advertising space.
3. Frank Ocean
Who the fuck is Odd Future? Oh wait, are those the guys that hang out with Frank Ocean? We love Frank Ocean? Did you see him at the Grammys? Chris Brown is such a prick! If Tyler wants to get on the fast track to relevancy again, he should exploit Ocean's fame by making the buying public think Wolf is the pomo R&B star's new record.
2. Steve Harvey
When the world still cared about Tyler and OF, one of the crew's primary battle-cries was the immortal, "Fuck Steve Harvey!" Maybe that bold political position was responsible for their fame. And, maybe, if they re-embrace their anti-Harvey values, their fans will re-embrace their music.
1. Cats
Much like sex, cats sell.

The government is teaming up with a private-sector working group to fight malicious botnets, a growing threat to the online economy and national security, reports William Jackson in GCN.
The Industry Botnet Group and the Homeland Security and Commerce departments released a set of principles for addressing the challenge of botnets across the entire Internet ecosystem. In addition to this framework for collaboration, released May 30, the government plans to step up public outreach efforts to educate users about online threats and will coordinate efforts to address the technical threats posed by botnets, according to the article.

I awoke with blurry vision, slight confusion and a pounding headache. When I say pounding? I mean: MAKE IT STOP!!!!!! But my instincts took over and I jumped up quickly, looking around, despite my lack of vision. I nearly fell as I took my first step, the confusion turning into dizziness. In that instant, I remembered vaguely where I was, what happened and I knew one thing: I had to get out of here.
I shook my head till I could see, ignored the dizziness but it got worse as I didn't

So I can finally fly
Knowing my place is hell

I am the dark that consumes me
I know what I see
The visions and the demons
Not everything has a reason
Feeling forced to believe in

ROME Gazing at the glories of Rome from its best viewpoint on the Janiculum Hill, the cluster of old buildings immediately below and to the left look like yet another of the Holy City's hundreds of churches.
The reality is less romantic.
The buildings are the historic Regina Coeli or Queen of Heaven jail - a long, long way from paradise for prisoners crammed inside in conditions which even senior Italian officials say have made Italy's prisons a national disgrace.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in January that overcrowding in Italy's prisons violated basic rights, ordering the government to pay 100,000 euros ($132,000) to seven inmates who brought a test case and to fix the problem within a year.
President Giorgio Napolitano said the ruling was "a mortifying confirmation of the persistent failure of our state to guarantee the basic rights of detainees awaiting judgment and serving sentences".
Justice Minister Anna Maria Cancellieri said last month Italy's prisons were unworthy of a civilized country.
Prison rights group Antigone says they are the most crowded in the European Union with occupancy at more than 142 percent of capacity. There are close to 67,000 prisoners in jails built for 45,000.
"Decisions can no longer be postponed to overcome a degrading reality for the inmates and for the prison guards," Napolitano said last week.
The overcrowding is the result of a byzantine and chronically slow-moving justice system - the root cause of many national problems - and of years of failure to build new detention centers by a state facing a squeeze on its finances.
The government declared a state of emergency because of prison overcrowding more than three years ago and drew up a plan to spend 675 million euros to create 9,000 new places in 11 new prisons and extensions to existing buildings.
The plan has shrunk significantly since then due to Italy's deep recession. In the words of Antigone, "Up to now not one brick has been laid."
Napolitano urged swift passage of a new law to reform the penal system so that fewer people are jailed for minor offences - as proposed by Antigone and other reformers.
The law was stalled by the early dissolution of parliament for elections that took place in February, prompting a political deadlock that has only recently been overcome.
Around 60 percent of convicted prisoners are serving sentences of less than three years. Alternative sanctions such as fines, social work and home detention are all less common than elsewhere in Europe.
"The heart of the prison problem is the penal code," Antigone said in its 2012 annual report.
The Queen of Heaven's resemblance to a church is no accident. It was built as a monastery alongside the Tiber River in the 17th century and converted into a prison in 1881 after the unification of Italy.
Two lofty ancient cupolas at least reduce the heat inside the jail but the overcrowding is obvious.
Cells built for one prisoner house three. Those designed for four are occupied by six, with an extra level of bunks. Former public areas such as classrooms have been converted into makeshift cells for 10 inmates sharing one toilet.
Overcrowding "is a big problem, it is dramatic. The staff are really stressed," deputy governor Anna Angeletti told Reuters.
"Something must be done because the prisons are close to collapse," said another senior jail official, Margherita Marras.
At Regina Coeli, primarily a remand centre to detain people immediately after their arrest, staff try to reduce tension by opening the cells for half of each day to let all but the most violent or vulnerable prisoners walk around and socialize.
Angeletti says the jail, with more than 1,000 prisoners compared to a capacity of 700, is like a hospital casualty ward obliged to admit all new arrestees from the Lazio region around Rome, even if it is full.
New arrivals have to remain longer in less comfortable holding cells and often sleep on mattresses on the floor because of the overcrowding, officials say.
Authorities allowed Reuters to interview only convicted prisoners who gave their agreement in writing, and on condition that the inmates' offences not be disclosed.
"Everybody knows there is a problem of overcrowding but nobody addresses it. In a cell with six people there should be two to four ... Tensions are born in the cell," said Luigi Murra, 50, who has been in the jail for 15 months.
Like other prisoners, Murra said Italy's economic crisis had increased crime but he added: "The justice system is another problem. It is very slow. There are an enormous number of trials."
Prison reform group Antigone says a leading cause of overcrowding is the large number of people remanded in custody after being charged instead of being released on bail. They make up 40 percent of the prison population compared to 23 percent in France and 15 percent in Germany and Britain.
Magistrates are supposed to detain only those who represent a risk of flight, repeat offending or tampering with evidence. But lawyers at Antigone say the system is abused, partly because public opinion demands the pre-trial detention of suspects.
Italy's supreme court has criticized the overuse of protective custody, a key strain on the prison system.
"There are so many people awaiting trial for six, seven, eight months," said Cesare Cececotto, 58, who has been in Regina Coeli for two years.
There is also a big proportion of foreigners - 35 percent of the total, partly due to the high rate of drug arrests in a country which is a corridor for the narcotics trade. Nearly 40 percent of convicts in Italy are serving time for drugs offences, compared to around 14 percent in France and Germany.
The number of foreign detainees is a major grievance among Italian prisoners.
"We are talking about a prison where you can be in a cell with people with six different languages, six different habits, where there is one who prays as an observant Muslim five times a day and another who swears five times a minute," said Giuseppe Rampello, 63, who has been in jail for four years.
"There is one who eats pork and one who cannot bear to look at it. There is one who never washes and one who washes all the time. This is the problem," he added.
"Even if you locked up people for 10 days with their husband or wife, I think half of them would run away. If instead you take a bunch of people like a mini United Nations, it is a disaster when there is only one toilet, when everybody brings their own culture to the bathroom," Rampello said.
Cececotto said he was the only Italian in his cell. "Thank God, I speak a bit of English and a bit of Spanish," he said. ($1 = 0.7579 euros)

His focus will be to continue to make the membership and the industry aware that GSA is an incredible resource to assist them in navigating through the changing business climate facing the agriculture industry.

In addition, Dill said "I think more focus can be given to encouraging the next generation that the farming industry is a great profession and can be hard work, but is very rewarding. The challenge is getting mentors to teach and get the students some hands-on experience in the form of internships, whether it be in production, food safety or sales."

Loc: Madison, WI area
Many years ago I collected a word which meant "one who collects quotations" (and since I do it went into one of my notebooks). I recall it as something like "pariomiographer" but know I haven't got it right. Does anyone know the correct term? Thanks!

Loc: this too shall pass
A paroemia /puh REE mee uh/ is a proverb, an adage, a saying. By extension, a paroemiographer is a writer of such and a paroemiologist studies (collects?) them.

Do you agree with the Academy's past picks for Oscar?
Asked at Hy-Vee on March 23, 2002
"No, because most of the movies' artistic merit is not very good. Most of the movies are big blockbusters, and the artistic merit of films are not looked at."
"I have not yet agreed with the Academy. I guess my sense of judgment and theirs are on two different levels."
"A lot of time I think they make decisions based on commercial hype than artistic merit, so I don't pay attention to the awards."
"Since I haven't seen any of the movies nominated this year, I don't know. I think the movies are good, but if there's not a giant monster or a huge bug in it, I usually don't see it."

Great cooler bag! nicole from boynton beach, FL on 04/15/2015 – Verified Buyer
Great cooler bag. It keeps everything cold even after a very long hot day at the beach. I highly recommend it. Pros: Keeps everything cold and it doesn't look like a cooler at all. Cons: Carrying strap could maybe be a little longer
Topanga Cooler Donna from Baird, TX on 11/05/2014 – Verified Buyer

Love it Mrs Margaret from Chicago, IL on 03/24/2013 – Verified Buyer
This is a great & classily cooler - that Does NOT look like a cooler. Vert sturdy - good handles to be able to put over shoulder - but is heavy to start (from the great insulation)
