I’m very much tied up with lots of good stuff that I have very little time to update this blog. Pls, don’t forget it, as I’ll be coming back as soon as possible! Thanks for your patience, I’m doing lot of great stuff! If you want to communicate with me, feel free to email me! NO SPAM, pls!

Below are just a few of the sad images of lefto-fascists and members of the so-called “Free Palestine Association”, doing their usual dirty work. This time, they were in Turin, where the Book Fair is being held and the honor guest this year is Israel. Moonbats and Islamists called to ‘boycott’ the fair because of that.

A recent study by the Tax Foundation finds that 24 States, when their corporate tax rates are combined with the Federal rate of 35%, have the highest such tax rates in the world:

“’This is startling news for America’s businesses and workers,’ said Tax Foundation president Scott Hodge, the study’s author. ‘Tax competition for jobs and investment is fierce, and the U.S. continues to fall further and further behind. Our states should be the world’s leaders in many things, but high taxation should not be one of them. The high federal corporate tax rate is literally crushing states’ competitive abilities. That means fewer jobs for American workers.’”

When cross-referenced with the ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index, 79% of the States with the highest corporate tax rates in the world rank in the bottom half of ALEC-Laffer’s overall rankings for 2007 of individual States. This is beyond correlation; such a high rate demonstrates causation between high tax rates and overall economic performance.

And folks wonder why businesses are going overseas!

ALG Perspective: This is a no-brainer. When businesses are over-taxed, they go do business elsewhere, and it hurts the economic performance of the States with those high rates. If the U.S. wants to remain competitive in the global marketplace, and to create new jobs in the economy, it needs to slash corporate tax rates and make America the best place to do business in the world

A compelling – and somewhat shocking – new report has revealed that taxpayer-funded universal healthcare could wind up being more costly and less efficient than its private sector alternatives.

What makes the report compelling is that it comes at a time when the leading left-wing politicians are falling all over themselves to promise just the opposite. What makes it shocking is where it comes from: Harvard University.

John Goodman at the National Center of Policy Analysis (NCPA) has summarized the findings of Harvard’s National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), which note that:

• Publicly-financed healthcare systems throughout the world have not shown any evidence in the ability to control the healthcare costs;
• Those systems only seem to be modestly progressive because while the rich may, in fact, end up paying more, the limits of taxpayer funding will limit the options for everyone else;
• Marginal increases in government spending, if used on specialists and elective procedures, may actually be regressive because it deprives the poor of costlier treatments;
• Public healthcare has little impact on economic inequalities;
• And, increased government spending on healthcare tends to reduce financing of other public services.

In other words, the promises Americans have heard that universal healthcare will keep costs down, would bring better healthcare to the poor, will be more efficient, will help bring economic equality to our society, and will be affordable by taxpayers – these are all a sham.

The author of the study notes that publicly-provided healthcare is less efficient at providing and delivering services than private healthcare:

“In general, financing systems are more efficient the less they distort individuals’ choices (around work, consumption, investment, etc.) In this sense, private insurance … and out-of-pocket payments are fully efficient.” (Glied, 6)

It appears that Harvard, for far too long a veritable bastion of socialist balderdash, has dusted off its motto and retrieved its legacy: Veritas – for the health of all involved.

ALG Perspective: Universal healthcare will mean longer waits for treatment, because there will be more use of unnecessary elective procedures. It will mean that costs will go up because it will limit competition. It will mean that overall everyone will receive poorer quality of care. And generally speaking, the larger government bureaucracies become, the less they are able to help those who cannot help themselves. Those who can afford healthcare should be allowed to continue to do so without having to subsidize the weight of a universal system which will undermine everyone’s care including their own.

Dear friends and fellow supporters of Kareem Amer,

The Free Kareem Coalition, in collaboration with the Committee to Protect Bloggers, are holding a new campaign called “Flood the Jail with Mail!” (taking place from April 7th-21st) aimed to get as many people as possible to send Kareem letters of support so that he can remain hopeful and in high spirits.

Kareem has spent over one year in prison, with no sign of his freedom yet. This past November, he was tortured by both prison inmates and guards while being asked to repent for holding certain beliefs. This is unacceptable. We cannot go on referring to Egypt as a democratic or modern state for as long as Kareem is still in prison. This unjust crime of imprisoning him has to be corrected immediately as it’s a serious abuse against the freedom of speech clause which Egypt constantly claims to adhere to.

We still await his unconditional release, and are continuing to do our best to secure his freedom.

But while we do that, we have to make sure that Kareem knows that we are all thinking about him. And for this purpose, we have launched a new campaign:

FLOOD THE JAIL WITH MAIL!

Please read the details here. It has all the details that you would require in order to pariticpate in this campaign, which will soon be joined by Reporters Without Borders and any other organization interested in making this initative as successful and effective as possible.

Il “computador” di Raul Reyes (in realtà i computer sarebbero quattro),
uno dei capi delle Farc ucciso dalle teste di cuoio di Alvaro Uribe
insieme ad altri sedici guerriglieri il primo marzo scorso, continua a
tirare fuori cose molto compromettenti per i presidenti di Ecuador e
Venezuela, Rafael Correa e Hugo Chavez. Ieri infatti le autorità
colombiane hanno mostrato ai giornalisti le prove che le Farc stavano
acquistando materiale radioattivo probabilmente per dotare i terroristi
narco-trafficanti della cosiddetta “bomba sporca”. Magari da usare senza
pietà contro inermi cittadini colombiani. Ma sempre ieri le prime truppe
mandate dal caudillo di Caracas hanno anche iniziato ad ammassarsi ai
confini con la Colombia, proprio in quell’area che le Farc considerano
come casa propria. Mentre la battaglia diplomatica, sempre che non ce ne
sia una incombente in armi, si trasferirà presto alle Nazioni Unite.
Luogo in cui Uribe ha intenzione di fare convocare tanto Chavez quanto
Correa per “complicità in genocidio”. In tutto questo brilla per il
proprio silenzio l’Europa, mentre la Spagna, per ovvi motivi di cattive
coscienze post coloniali, da giorni è attivamente impegnata nel
tentativo di riavviare il dialogo almeno tra Colombia ed Ecuador, dopo
lo sconfinamento delle teste di cuoio di Bogotà in territorio ecuadoregno.

Lo ha affermato il ministro degli Esteri spagnolo, Miguel Angel Moratinos, spiegando da Cordoba, città del regno che per sette secoli fu islamico-andaluso nel Sud della Spagna, di aver avuto un colloquio telefonico con la collega dell’Ecuador, Maria Isabel Salvador, e che lunedì scorso aveva parlato anche con l’omologo colombiano, Fernando Araujo. Più difficile appare l’opera di ricucitura diplomatica con Caracas: dai quattro computer sequestrati ai guerriglieri è proprio Chavez quello ad uscirne peggio. Infatti mentre per il presidente ecuadoregno le evidenze raccolte nelle email parlano di una complicità tutto sommato passiva, per quel che riguarda Chavez il discorso cambia di centottanta gradi. Chavez, infatti, viene descritto come il più grande finanziatore delle Farc, quello che ne gestisce l’immagine e anche la liberazione degli ostaggi, Ingrid Betancourt compresa. In Italia, con la sindrome da complotto che abbiamo e che ci divora, lo avremmo definito il “grande vecchio” delle Farc. Se non il vero capo politico.
