When Kansas fails miserably after this, can we agree to blame Arthur Larger?
The governor, who has enlisted supply-side economist Arthur Laffer as an adviser, had proposed lowering and flattening the state’s individual income tax and eliminating taxes on non-wage, business income.

The GOP really is the party of, by, and for the 1%
Now strategists and donors are going where the money’s going, and growing evidence suggests that this election year — not just on the presidential level, but also for congressional races — will be dominated by superPACs.

Ask yourself this…in all the time you’ve spent on Facebook, how many things have you bought because of ads there?
Facebook’s stock should trade for $13.80 – Mark Hulbert – MarketWatch Since Facebook is most often compared to Google , let’s assume that its price-to-sales ratio in five years will be just as high as Google’s is currently: 5.51-to-1.
