Weekly Standard Online
September 24, 2011
by Irwin Stelzer
Willie Sutton separated over 100 banks from $2 million before he was finally incarcerated in 1952. When asked why he robbed banks, he is said to have responded, "Because that's where the money is." Apparently, politicians around the world now want to tax the rich, because they believe, or say they do, that's where the money is. They're wrong. The simple fact is that there aren't enough of the "millionaires and billionaires" who are now the target of President Barack Obama's campaign trail scorn to make the tiniest dent in America's deficit. Or in the deficits of other countries that are trying to squeeze the rich.
Politicians in Italy are calling for a wealth tax, and their counterparts in France, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Japan, and Great Britain are pushing a variety of ways to get at the wallets of the rich who, it must be conceded, in several countries are more famous for tax evasion—which goes far beyond legal avoidance—than for tax compliance.
Conservative politicians complain that these measures won't yield significant revenues from millionaires and billionaires, and will discourage investment and risk-taking. To conservatives, the tax structure is a means of generating revenue in a way that encourages, or at least does not unduly discourage, efficient investment. Not to President Obama and his international counterparts on the left. To them, the guiding principle is fairness, a rather elastic concept, but one that plays well on the campaign trail. It incorporates the ideas that those who benefit most from the economy should pay the most (which they already do), and that in a period of austerity everyone should share the pain of bringing deficits down (something no one denies). And an emphasis on fairness gives an open field to those who see taxation as a means of redistributing income from high earners to those in need of public assistance. These opposing views of what tax systems are supposed to do can be reconciled only by an exquisite balancing of the demands for an efficient use of the tax system and society's notion of what is fair—and exquisite balancing is not in long supply in Washington these days.
The practical question is whether politicians following the Willy Sutton approach are likely to achieve their goal of cutting the deficit. In America, at least, they won't. For one thing, their American idol, billionaire investor Warren Buffett, is simply wrong when he generalizes from his own experience of having a lower effective tax rate than his secretary, and wrong again when he says a change in tax policy is necessary to level the field: He and other billionaires who want to pay more are free to mail their checks to the Treasury in whatever amount does not put too great a strain on their petty cash boxes.
"Facts are stubborn things," said founding father John Adams in 1770, "and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." Obama justifies his proposed tax increases by reference to Buffett and his secretary, who presumably consented of her own free will to having her tax rate published by her boss. The president says that "people making more than $1 million a year should not pay a smaller share of their income in taxes than middle-class families pay." When in full flow, he adds, "That's not class warfare. That's math."
To imply that million dollar earners pay lower rates than middle class earners is to ignore a stubborn fact: they don't. People earning more than $1 million are subject to an effective tax rate of 28.9 percent of their income (total federal taxes, including income taxes, payroll taxes and other taxes), while households making between $50,000 and $75,000 face an average rate of 20 percent, according to data from Tax Policy Center. There are good arguments for treating capital gains, now taxed at a lower rate than income, at the higher income tax rate; for removing special benefits accorded hedge fund operators; and for eliminating lots of features that benefit high earners. But doing so because of a belief that "the rich" are subject to a lower tax rate than the middle class is not one of them.
Conservatives have their own view of the social goals of tax policy. They are troubled by the stubborn facts that almost half of all households pay no income tax and almost 28 percent pay neither income tax nor payroll tax. This makes a large number of voters unconcerned about soaring government spending, and creates a cheering section for increases in benefits.
The amounts that would be raised by the president's proposals from "millionaires and billionaires" might come to the rounding error in the national accounts. The major impact would be on individuals earning more than $200,000 annually and families earning more than $250,000. This group accounts for 3 percent of all tax filers, earns 30 percent of all income, and already pays 52 percent of all income taxes. Most important, 65 percent report some business income. Because a good deal of income of this group comes from running small businesses, 40 percent of the revenues from the higher taxes Obama would impose would come from small businesses, according to a study issued by the office of Senator Jim DeMint, a South Carolina Republican. In short, the president is proposing to raise taxes on many of the job creating entrepreneurs in America.
The good news is that a bipartisan consensus is forming to push radical tax reform such as was engineered by both parties in 1986, generating enough cash to allow the top individual rate to be cut to 28 percent from 50 percent. The plan being mooted in Congress would, among other things, remove or place limits on deductions of interest on home mortgages, end special tax advantages for the oil and other industries, and end the practice of allowing hedge fund operators to treat part of their incomes as capital gains. The additional revenue generated by these changes would be used to lower overall tax rates on individuals and corporations.
However desirable such a policy might be in the long run, it is unlikely to do much to spur growth in the near term. Which leaves us with Willie Sutton's advice versus the hard fact that the rich are not where additional tax revenue is, and the decision of the Federal Reserve Board to follow the suggestion of Chubby Checker and "do the twist"—move $400 billion of its $2.65 trillion securities portfolio into long- from short-term Treasury IOUs in the hope that still lower long-term rates will somehow spur investment. Most observers think that the Fed should get an "A" for effort and good intentions, but a far lower mark for results.
With Sutton and Checkers not useful as advisers, we are left with John Maynard Keynes, whose borrow-and-spend method has not seemed to work in current circumstances and as applied by this administration, and its opposite, austerity, now opposed by the International Monetary Fund because it seems to stifle growth and increase rather than decrease the deficit-to-GDP ratio wherever it is selected as the policy that will fix things. To say policy makers are out of bullets is to put their impotence in polite terms.
Just when George Soros says we are already in a recession. Whether or not he is correct, it certainly feels like we are. The IMF and the Fed are projecting anemic growth, and there isn't much difference from "the feel" of that and of a recession, certainly not for the 25 million looking for full-time work, or their increasingly nervous relatives and neighbors, witnesses to too many foreclosures.
The sense among informed observers here in Washington is that the president will get little or none of what he is asking for—his own staff privately says he has no expectation that a Republican House of Representatives will join his anti-rich crusade. His proposals are seen as a campaign ploy to please his sullen left, but he runs the risk of antagonizing the independent voters whose support put him in office. The last candidate to run as a class warrior was Al Gore, and he is reduced to searching for audiences for his increasingly vitriolic, profanity-laden presentations on global warming.

Although we have successfully sold many thousands of homes since the Company was formed 118 years ago every single client and every single property transaction is just as important to us as it was in 1894 and no house is ever identical.
Offering the full spectrum
of the property profession
since 1894
If you wish to have an informal discussion with a member of our team please complete the form below and you will be contacted by a member of the team.
We are often asked how we arrive at the value of somebody's home. It is certainly not an exact science but comes from our long experience in our industry and the data that we have at our fingertips. We first of all take into account any similar properties we ourselves have sold; adjusting for size, location, condition etc. We do this first because we know these homes well and how they compare to your home. We then look at data of homes sold through other agencies and again we use them as comparables. We use a mixture of completed sales, homes that have been sold subject to contract and properties currently available in the market, market trends, and of course we take into account extensions, improvements, such as new kitchens, bathrooms, and the size of your garden and whether it has been landscaped and the aspect and indeed anything else that we think may add value.
We know of some agents who simply value high to impress the owner and gain the instruction and then persuade their clients to enter into a long sole agency contract. This never works, our valuations are always what we believe we will achieve although sometimes we would suggest asking a slightly higher figure to test the market depending on your own personal circumstances.
You should choose the agent whose reputation you are most comfortable with and then tell them the price that you would like to achieve rather than choosing the agent that simply values the highest in order to gain the instruction.
We have been voted the "Best Estate Agent in Essex" by the Daily Mail in 2006, 2008 and again in 2009 and we received the highest accolade possible in being chosen as the "Estate Agent of the Year" by CARTUS the premier provider of relocation services worldwide in 2009.
If you would like a valuation of your property by an experienced estate agent please call your nearest branch or simply complete the contact form.

Have you heard of Sound-T speakers?
Have you heard them? Are they good?
Never heard of them. I can't find anything online about them either. Where did you see them?
LOL well, I am thinking they are T-sound now that I am looking at my link...
But anyway, we were looking for outdoor speakers and found these at samsclub online.
found them listed at other stores for close to $70. We never heard of the brand before.
Right now we have a box with 2 12" speakers in it outside. Sounds okay, but kinda ugly and not weather proof. We can't spend a lot of money... maybe I will get them and then tell you all about them
Well if you are going to put the spekers under an over hang then go to www.hometheaterdirect.com. They have good outdoor speakers but they can not sit out in the rain. If you have a Soundtrack, Ultimate Electronics, or Audio King near you they have truely outdoor speakers that can sit in the rain.

Karen you say: "Both family structures are legal, and both enjoy equal rights. But only one — heterosexual marriage — is best for children".
That is the biggest bunch of BS I have ever heard in my life. There are many heterosexual parents that are terrible, they emotionally abuse their children, they physically abuse their children, and worst of all, they sexually abuse their children. When is the last time you heard of a homosexual couple abusing their children? Never; it does not happen; or it is so rare that it never gets to the media. That statement is a bigoted, prejudice, intolerant, hypachristain point of view. It has no place in the world we live in today. I want to make clear that I am a heterosexual male, who is happily married to a female, and we have 3 children who are fine and dandy, we have taught them to be tolerant of others. Everyone, including homosexuals should have the right to experience the joy that my wife and I have experienced in raising our family together. Gay people have a fundamental American right to marry in this country; so in November let's make it official; quit being a bigot; quit letting your religion dictate your politics; quit oppressing these people and let them get Fricken married already. For all you Christians out there who ask "what would Jesus do"? He would be tolerant and let gays get married, according to your bible that is.
"To all us Christians out Here," which I am one. You obviously have not read Romans chapter 1. Before quoting the Bible try reading it. "What would Jesus do" is not in the Bible, so what would Jesus do again read Romans Chapter 1 you'll find your answer.

It was a very wet and rainy Sunday.
Perfect for having a piece of fleur de sel Lindt chocolate. Almost made it enjoyable to curl up on on the couch with a Contracts book.Definitely set for tea and gingersnaps.
Even a mocktail of cranberry juice, lime wedges and seltzer to add a little sass to the gray skies.Best for cozying up with camel hair socks from a Bedouin village in Egypt and a very tired, very fuzzy, sleepy little cat. That's Cleopatra. The other cat, Michael's Siamese, sulked in my closet sleeping on my clothes in the laundry basket.
I like it when it's cold outside. But only when I get to roam around in Michael's over-sized robe all day.

Call Center Furniture: Utilizing Space to Save Money and Improve Profit
By Stefania Viscusi, Assignment Desk Editor
In call centers, where utilization of space for maximum efficiency is important, space equals money. When it comes to call center furniture set ups, applying this same thought to the design of the call center can help companies save valuable money.
The best way to "do more" with any given space is to make use of custom manufacturing and utilize the space planning skills of a vendor who will help increase efficiency and productivity through an intelligent furniture and floor plan design.
Wasted space, call center furniture provider Interior Concepts notes, is space that can never be reclaimed.
"If a customer "could have gotten" more agents into the floor space (but didn't), and as a result "could have generated more revenue" (but didn't), then that lost revenue can never be reclaimed. It becomes a dollar and cents/profitability issue."
For example, square footage is important to factor into saving space for more agent stations in the call center.
Efficient utilization of space can help to create more aisle space and increase the size of agent workstations, or allow more agents to fit into the space.
With more agent stations, more agents can be utilized and as a result, revenues will increase.
To ensure the very best utilization of floor space is made, Interior Concepts makes use of typically 'unusable' space and works around columns and other design obstacles to optimize available valuable floor plan space.
Interior Concepts streamlined 1" Panel System offers space savings without sacrificing sound control. Their 1" panel system in a typical floor plan can save square feet per agent and translate into notable annual savings.

Judging by the time of your post you are either one of those being discussed or you needed to put down the bottle and go to sleep. Your post is utter garbage.
Maybe your mom will let you stay up later during the Christmas break. However, you do need to get a good night's sleep on school nights.
You weren't around yet when all of this took place, and I doubt that there would be any mention of it in any of your school books.

Additionally, it's fairly convenient to make the argument you make AFTER the events have already occurred because the process of changing what some perceive to be historical travesties is a much tougher road to endure. You'd have to look through a different lens to understand the landscape more clearly.

Recently my good friend, web strategist and community marketer, Jeremiah Owyang, had an insightful post on how to understand community manager role better. Jeremiah should know, given his experience at defining the role at his previous stints.
Since moving into my new role as Community Evangelist at LinkedIn, I thought I should take a stab at distilling Jeremiah's seven rules, with some inspiration from Hugh Macleod's post on the Porous Membrane, where Hugh talks about why corporate blogging works.
So, here's my take on the three components of marketing communications or marketing conversations:
1. The Community/Customer (B)
Hugh calls B the customers. I'd like to take it one step further and see them as the community, especially since we're talking about a product/service that is "common, public, shared by all or many". Now, there are some products that may not have as active a community (Enterprise Servers, anyone?), as the consumer-oriented ones (iPods).
Irrespective of that, the community manager will firstly have to be a customer evangelist thereby being able to identify with the community and its needs.
2. The Membrane (x)
Quoting Hugh:
6. So each market from a corporate point of view has an internal and external conversation. What separates the two is a membrane, otherwise known as "x".
7. Every company's membrane is different, and controlled by a host of different technical and cultural factors.
I'd like to think of the Community Evangelist as the one who connects the two entities A & B. They are the individuals entrusted with the task of pushing that membrane, aligning A and B and aiming for marketing Nirvana. And did I mention, they also help humanify the company.
3. The Troops (A)
This is the seemingly less important but critical component whose participation in the conversation is imperative. This would include your product, engineering, and customer support teams as Jeremiah elucidates. The more aligned the two groups, A and B are, the easier it'd be for the evangelist to start & keep a smart conversation going.
And, it's not always an easy task as evidenced by recent missteps, even from Fortune 500 companies.
Do you've an example of a community manager role at your company to share?

Tt eSPORTS Shock One Gaming Headset Audio Page 1 |
Reviewer: Article Publish Date: 8/17/2011 |
There seems to be no ending to gaming headsets that promise 5.1/7.1 surround sound either virtual or real but as you know we have seen more than once that only a very small number of them really do deliver on that promise. Thermaltake is a name that has been with PC enthusiasts and gamers right from the start but it wasn't until they introduced TteSports a while back that they really thought about manufacturing their own virtual surround headset and so after just a few months the Shock One Gaming Headset was introduced into the market.
"Challenge is the game" highlights the philosophy to bring out gamers' addiction in gaming and the ambition of reaching to the extreme. Tt eSPORTS, a gaming obsessed division from Thermaltake, is uniting gamers from all over the world in a unique & fascinating eSPORTS culture, inherited the spirits of Thermaltake, is an energetic, powerful, bold and intelligent challenger who never says "no" to the extreme competition. We do not only provide gamers the ultimate gaming gears but also fulfills the passion to achieve the ultimate success. Thermaltake has been a well-known brand in the gaming & DIY market for PC Chassis, Coolers and Power Supplies PSU for many years. The brand personality of unique, aggressive, vivid and stylish makes Thermaltake an expert in creating exciting things and fascinating environment for gamers and enthusiasts. Tt eSPORTS inherited the brand personality with unique and creative design by observing users' behaviors and requirements. The fan cooling design on Tt eSPORTS Challenger keyboard demonstrate the brand spirit. It is the worldwide first keyboard with fan cooling function that could dry your hand sweats and blow tension away during cut-throat competition.
One of the things that make the Shock One stand out from the rest of the headsets out there is it's red and black color combo which is also a good enough reason for some people to look elsewhere for an more "mature" looking surround headset. Certainly the amount of red used should not pose an issue for most gamers and enthusiasts out there and it wouldn't matter to me either since even the award winning Psyko surround headset comes in red (others even come in green). The DTS certification of the Shock One is also something we don't get to see a lot with similar products and as you will also see later on it does make a difference when watching DTS compatible material.

Fed Chief Does not Signal QE3, but the Market Disagrees
Despite a better than expected Housing Confidence Index it was all about the Fed Chief. Chuck Schumer said it best and it was what got the market off the lows. He basically stated that DC will not get its act together and the Federal Reserve must act. From that point forward the market moved off its lows as volume surged in the market. Regardless of your view at this point the market wants to move higher in the short term. Late day selling did put a cap on the day, but the overall gains in the market certainly paints a bullish tint. Until we get further selling, this market wants to move higher. The market clearly expects quantitative easing to help support it going forward. It is quite sad that this market needs the fed to print money to support this market. Earnings season has not been stellar and many stocks have missed their estimates. At this point, we cannot ignore the price action simply because we think the economy is in a tail spin. For now, this market wants to move higher and we'll be moving along with it. Do not fight the trend. Ben Bernanke moves from the Senate to the House tomorrow where he'll face even more questions from Congressmen/women. Unfortunately for Ben, he'll like face the same lame questioning he received today. Majority of the questioning was grandstanding by both parties and did not ask any very pointed questions. Essentially, what we got today was Congress and the Senate will not do anything and they expect the Federal Reserve to print away their problems. Elected officials are terrible and Schumer pointed the problem out. The trend is your friend and do not forget it. Tomorrow may bring a change in trend, but for now this market wants to move higher on the high of quantitative easing…part III. Do not fight the trend no matter how much you believe you are right. This is precisely why we cut our losses. Ride the trend higher and get off when the trend reverses. Big Wave Trading is your guide.

The Faces of Mercy |
< Previous | Back to Gallery | Next > |
Photo by: Felix Carroll |
Peter Markavage, volunteer coordinator for DivineMercy Sunday I have the privilege as volunteer coordinator to help people. It's not just needing a warm body, it's also helping people on their own spiritual pilgrimage — to put them in a place that's appealing to them. I had a phone call with someone, and I had originally placed them in the gift shop. Then they told me later they were thinking of going into the priesthood. I said, "You'd rather be in with the Blessed Sacrament in the Adoration Tent. I'm going to put you there." That happens a lot, where I can help people experience their Catholic faith in a way that's meaningful by putting them into a volunteer position that's meaningful to them. And I like that!" The volunteers — they're here to volunteer, but they're also here to express God's mercy to other, to experience the Liturgy. They come from all walks of life. |

text: by Abe Rosenberg I've been thinking about some of the dramatic changes in TV news over these past few years, and rather than just offer my opinion, I'd like to ask a few questions and find out what you think: How do you feel about the trend to dismantle traditional news broadcasts, and turn them into, in effect, talk shows that only touch on the news? How do you feel about anchors chatting each other up, giving their reactions to stories, and even sharing their personal views about controversial issues? Is this appropriate? What do you make of the explosion of social media and its effect on news programs? What is the proper role of Twitter, Facebook, and others? Should they be tools to help news departments maintain a connection with viewers, to share information off the air, to get story ideas from the public... or should they go further... should they be an actual part of the show itself? Should every newscast have whole segments filled with Tweets, Facebook posts, and YouTube videos? While we're talking about YouTube, should any video found on that website be fair game for a news broadcast? Should we automatically accept any video sent to us, and put it on? What safeguards, editing, vetting and verification procedures should we put in place to make sure we don't air propaganda, hoaxes, or outright lies? What should be the proper relationship between a station's on-air newscast, and its web presence? What are the best ways for both media to complement each other, and provide more total, helpful, useable information? Do stations and their websites do a good enough job of cross-promoting each other? Or do they do too much of it? As many news programs become increasingly informal in tone and format, how do you feel about the state of broadcast standards now? Is there too much vulgarity finding its way on the air? Do you see an increase in racy, risque material? Is it pushing serious news out of the way? Now that a TV screen can be as small as your smartphone or as large as your wall, how much data should be shoved into that space? Is there too much clutter? Do the endless crawls, bugs, side panels, information banners, factoid boxes, etc. etc. add to your understanding of the news, or distract you? Has Gotcha!! become the new benchmark for deciding what goes into a news program? Does shock value or a pretty picture matter more than hard news? Has the TMZ model enhanced the news business, or infected it? Is it old-fashioned, even obsolete thinking, to expect a news organization to be as un-biased and objective as possible? Should a news program have a particular political slant? And if it does, is it still a news program? Is it a good or a bad thing to have a left-leaning news channel, and a right-leaning one? Do the talking heads who appear on those channels to say the same predictable things again and again, inform you? Bore you? Annoy you? Talk to me. For past articles, visit the Archive

Numerous veterans' associations were formed in the years following the Great War (1914-1918) but surprisingly no national association existed to commemorate the Dardanelles-Gallipoli campaign of 1915-16 until 1969. On the initiative of Major Edgar Banner, a number of veterans established an informal group, meeting from time to time to exchange shared memories and if possible to recall not only their own experiences but also those of the units in which they served. Very soon they had started their own Association Journal, 'The Gallipolian' was initially cyclostyled but, as membership increased, it became a properly printed magazine published several times a year, in which articles of high historical, academic and literary merit appeared. Edited now by Foster Summerson, it is regarded as exemplary in its class.
Inevitably, time took its toll of the original membership, but their descendants, and many professional and enthusiastic amateur military historians, began to swell the Association's membership, contributing to the 'Gallipolian' a wealth of new aspects of that fascinating, inspirational, but ultimately tragic campaign.
In 1995, when it was clear that the remaining veterans deserved a fitting gesture in their lifetime and that national tribute to those who had gone before them was long overdue, the Association called for contributions to fund a lasting memorial in the crypt of St Paul's cathedral, unveiled by our Patron, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in the presence of a great and distinguished congregation including what would be the last muster of the actual Gallipoli veterans. It is fitting that this memorial is mounted within a few paces of Lord Nelson's great tomb and close to that of the Duke of Wellington.
Today the Association works hard to achieve its aims, summarised below, and welcomes enquiries from members of the public who may have had relatives at Gallipoli.
Membership of the Association continues to grow and is worldwide. Strong links have been established with official and other interest groups concerned with the campaign, notably in those countries, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France and Turkey, which participated significantly in the naval and land operations. The creation of this website in its new form will enable members to exchange information freely as well as to make enquiries concerning the participation of family members in this campaign.
Visits to the old battlefields and the Dardanelles are run by the Association and Bursaries awarded to schools and colleges, enabling students to go there to study aspects of the campaign such as the deeds of former pupils of their school or college or members of their own families. Details are to be found in the 'Gallipolian' and on this site. Following these visits and the completion of their written reports, bursary winners are required to give presentations to an audience of their peers and of distinguished historians, and these have invariably attained a very high standard of research and delivery.
The aims of the Association can be summarised as follows:

HELLES - Lieutenant William Ker, Hawke Battalion, 1st Naval Brigade, RND - On the 7 December the Hawke Battalion were informed that they were on the move, but nobody had any details as to what was going to happen.
"We were told that our reliefs from the trenches by the Marines, which should have happened yesterday, was postponed for two days, and later that a brigade of another (old) division would relieve. We spent an evening in happy speculation. Castles in the air. The division was to be relieved (we had no definite news). The betting was ten to one against England, and two to one was taken against Alexandria, Anzac, Malta, or Salonika. But the popular view was a period at Alexandria, and then Serbia."On the 8th December they were told they were only shifting sector at Helles. Still there was no information as to what was really going on.SOURCE: W. Ker quoted by D. Jerrold, "The Hawke Battalion: Some Personal Records of Four Years, 1914-1918", (London, Ernest Benn Ltd, 1925),p.102
