You need to see commercials and press campfire. I am having trouble linking the campfire commercial.

I'm not involved in choosing the music. There's a discussion here where you can make your suggestions.

Arthur Siber has several worthwhile articles to read.

First off, I belong to no political party. I would like to see change for the better for everyone in this country. Everyone, includes rich people, poor people, corporations, left wing whackos, right wing wackos, what ever your political bent.

I have been looking into the effect of the flat tax that Russia implemented. This has to be something that left-leaning leaders such as yourself would consider, if only BECAUSE it was tried in what has to argued to be a left-leaning country/society. After all, how could you have more progressive reform that the 1917 revolution in Russia? As a left leaning individual, you owe it to yourself to truly examine the effects the flat tax has had on Russia.

Please at least examine what has happend there. Do not automatically dismiss it because it does not fit into your current world view of what is right and just, from your perspective.

The flat tax is working in Russia. So much so that I am considering moving there with my family. Read the follwing summary below, think about it, and give me an honest, and reasonable response. How can you argue with the success the flat tax has had in Russia? They are your fellow travelers for goodness sakes, and they have seen the light.

RUSSIA GETS IT; REALLY, IT DOES:
Russia went to a flat tax several years, taking the tax
down to a mere 13%. When Medvedev, Putin &
Company made the cut they did so simply to send a
signal to the wealthy that it was far better to pay taxes
at 13% that were going to be strongly enforced than to
face that enforcement. In the past, at much higher
rates, the urge to cheat… measured for the risk vs.
reward in doing so… was high enough that the wealthy
and the middle class cheated whenever and wherever
they could. Tax revenues were anemic. When the flat
tax went into effect, after a short lag, revenues
exploded higher, with the government at one time
suggesting that revenues were so high and the paying
down of sovereign debt was so swift that the Central
Bank feared that all of the government’s debt would be
retired making open market operations problematic at
best. ‘Tis an outcome devoutly to be wished.
Now, Russia has announced only last week at the
international economics symposium in St. Petersburg
during the “White Nights” celebration that it was ending
any and all capital gains taxes. The new “non-tax’ will
go into effect, we are told, as of January 1st of 2011.
We can only imagine that Russia’s capital markets will
explode to the upside next year, and that most
certainly their markets will rise relative to almost any
other market anywhere in Europe and North America.
We shall have no choice but to own Russian shares
while selling others short against it. Common sense
shall mandate that we do so.
Is this not an interesting world in which we live where
Russia has a flat tax and no capital gains where we, in
the US, are allowing taxes to rise given the expiration
of the Bush tax cuts, and we are debating increasing
capital gains taxes. Incredible; truly, and really
incredible.

Dear Thom, this was an excerpt from the Gartman Letter from yesterday Friday, June 24.

I'd love to see how you can argu against a flat tax now, although, I am sure you will. Your mind is made up. No need to bother you with the facts.

And I am neigher left wing or right wing. If i had a party, it would be called, "The Leave Me Alone Party." or the "Hermit Party"... If I had my way, I'd live like Thoreau in Walden Pond. So you can't characterize me with one of your broad brush generalizations.

I've listened to your show. You are very intelligent, but your agenda is skewed to attract an audience so you can sell adds. We all have to make a living, and I admire the fact that you have carved out your own niche. I really do... I just can't wait to see how you will argue against a flat tax in the US, even after you have evidence of how it has had such benefits in Russia. Of all places.

Best to you , Sir.

Every so often we read articles about WMD's in North Korea, Iraqi, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran but in Israel or India. We also hear and read that these countries will sell these WMD's to our enemies. There is no mention that the United States of Hell has a monopoly on the sale of WMD's. We sell seventy percent of WMD's around the world. We want to attack the above countries so we can have one hundred percent of the market in the selling of WMD's. Yes, our nation is the devil's disciple.

I keep hearing that Obama is sinking and I say he has already sunk!!!

Felling the wrath of God!

n8chz, thank you for your comment! Let me say that I do not consider myself holier than thou because I am a sinner. People may consider me a doomsayer by some of my comments but I try to provide information that will help our nation be a better America.

I will give everyone the answer for a better America and a better world. WE MUST ALWAYS PRACTICE THE GOLDEN RULE!!! "Do onto others as you would want them to do onto you!!!"

I too have sinned. I also have wanted to see America humiliated. Often, when thinking about the possible state of the world 50-100 years in the future, my sincere hope has been for the European 'social model' to be vindicated, and sometimes that imagined vindication takes the form of what one might call a 'United States of Hell' type scenario. To be honest I have a Vindication Complex. A facile psychological explanation would be my mom's habitual tendency to 'I told you so.' But of course it is a symptom of a spiritual crisis. I have also flirted with the belief that there's something in the American Character (if you will) that will not make any departure from the automotive/suburban-sprawl/mcmansion/livin'-large lifestyle without somehow being backed into a corner. Naturally this results in my hoping such a state of affairs emerges sooner rather than later. I have also thought of Gerald in less-than-flattering terms, as a holier-than-thou doomsayer, even though I myself have been a doomsayer, only with less sectarian explanations for why America is doomed.

Thank you for sharing. Go with God.
