Which candidates support simplifying the tax codes? Mrs. Popcorn's call about a tax question is being transferred for the third time by the IRS as I speak because they can't find someone who knows the answer. She informed the first person she spoke to that she tried to figure it out online but just got more confused. His response was "that happens to everybody."
Mrs. Popcorn just got transferred again for the fourth time. If the IRS can't figure out how to file taxes properly, how the hell are we supposed to. God help the IRS agent that ever audits me. I'm giving him three shoeboxes full of little papers, telling him that all he needs to know is in there, it's his job to figure it out and I've got all day.
Final response from IRS for Mrs. Popcorn's simple tax question started with "I'm not sure but my guess would be." One more time, which candidates are for simplifying the tax codes????

STATE SENATE SET TO VOTE THURSDAY ON
ANTI-HOME RULE WIND BILL (SENATE NO. 2206)
PLEASE CALL YOUR STATE SENATOR NOW TO OPPOSE IT
The Patrick administration is pushing for passage of the Wind Energy Siting Reform Act (Senate No. 2206), and the state senate could vote on it this Thursday.
The Act remains a bad deal for communities, citizens, wind facility neighbors - and our environment and economy - and should be defeated.
Despite a few small changes to the Act, it still allows an unelected board appointed by the governor to override a decision on a wind-facility application by the local town board. The wind developer does not need approval from the local board before proceeding to the state Energy Facilities Siting Board for a permit. If the town denies a permit, and the EFSB permits it, the latter prevails.
The Act replaces environmental laws with new, weaker standards which the EFSB is empowered to establish, apply, and waive. In fact, even if a wind facility does not comply with the EFSB's standards, the EFSB is required in some instances to issue a permit if it meets lower thresholds.
There are no protections for rare species; the Act requires standards for protecting their habitat, but none for the species themselves. (The only exception is if a rare species using the wind-facility site happens to be a bird or bat considered by the state to be vulnerable to wind turbines.) There are no opportunities for anyone to sue in state court to protect the rare species against impacts from the wind facility.
Almost all meaningful rights of participation and appeal are lost under the Act. Municipalities no longer have standing to appeal an EFSB permit to the courts.
The Act creates an unprecedented benefit for a single industry.
No other New England state exempts wind facilities from environmental laws or full judicial review. In Massachusetts, developers of conventional power plants must first make all reasonable attempts to obtain local and state permits before seeking exemptions through the EFSB. For them, EFSB proceedings are subject to judicial review through the court system.
In all respects, the Act does not create a level playing field with conventional power plants, it tilts the field steeply in favor of the wind facilities at the expense of town home rule, environmental protections, and the existing safeguards for citizen participation and rights of appeal.
If this Act is enacted, other special interests will seek the same special exemptions from local and state laws.
With the state now funding studies for wind facilities in areas with marginal wind speeds, more than 150 communities in Massachusetts will be vulnerable if this Act is approved. If you want to see if your community has developable wind resources, please email me, and I'll send you a copy of your county wind map.
The only way to stop this bill is if enough citizens protest to the state senate.
We have a democrat and a republican trying to get elected to the U.S. Senate next week and neither one thinks there is a problem with the tax codes. This is a prime example of how BOTH major parties have FAILED the American people.
I was undecided until I got an automated call last night from Coakley. The call referred to dangerous radical right wing lunies that have been covertly infiltrating our state. This turned me off completely. She will not get my vote.
Tell me again how Scott Brown is independent and not just another NO vote in the GOP Senate...he voted WITH GOP in the state 96% of the time...and he claims to be independent...even the OP-ED in today's Standard Times by our own RNC talking point machine Jacob Ventura states he is independent....it is absolutley laughable...notice the Brown Brigade rarely portrays him as a republican...hmmm
What's Attorney General Martha Coakley record on renewable energy scams or "mistakes" made by wind turbine installers in the past few years ? A former state rep from Bristiol County started a commercial wind turbine business in which the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative funded residential wind turbines .It turns out that the MTC ,a semi-quasi agency took complaints out with the current AG ,Martha Coakley against the former state rep.
There was some kind of vague agreement between the Attorney General and the former state rep. It appeared that the money lost to the people who purchased the wind turbines would be returned by Oct 8,2009 . The payments get a little fuzzy as within thirty days after the agreement the former state reps house burnt to the ground and he had to move to Hawaii .
Is this justice ?Fines ever paid ?
What has Martha Coakley done for the SouthCoast did these residents who purchased wind turbines ever get their money back ?
VOTE FOR BROWN HE'S GOOD FOR TOWN .COME ON DOWN VOTE FOR BROWN .STOP VOTING IN ALL THE CRIMINALS.
HOW MANY MORE DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS OF THE HOUSE WILL GO TO JAIL!

VOTE FOR MARTHA! We need a woman in the Massachusetts Senate. Scott Brown is just another pretty boy. Running on his good looks and not much else.
What is is record? Anybody know?
VOTE MARTHA!
If Martha is defeated...its bad news for democrats!!!
And just what is Martha running on?
Empty is what comes to mind.
fight wall st, and prevent another collapse...that is what Martha is running on
unlike the Conservatives on this BLOG she actually cares about the little guy and the billionaires
unlike the Conservatives on this BLOG she actually cares about the little guy NOT the billionaires
Anyone invoking the Kennedy name makes me run the other way. Down with a dynasty.
speaking of DYNASTY..I guess it was OK when Republicans had the DYNASY...Reagan..with Bush...then Bush...then Bush again...let me see thats 8+4+8= 20 years of Bush rule...out of 28 years..and you werent complaining about dynasties then...SHUT UP!
Since I started this thread, I'ld like to finish it after sipping on some of Popcorn's famous and wholesome whiskey.
Mrs. Popcorn and I run a Mom and Pop shop. Every year, Mrs. Popcorn gives up one week of productivity in order to file our taxes. I would like everyone to ponder the national productivity increases we could realize if it only took one day. We are, after all, in this together.
I'm talking about a FAMILY dynasty. Does having the name Kennedy equate with god?
Thankfully, some people woke up out of Camelot.
P. S. As referring to the Republicans, it's called "reign," if you must refer to it in some manner of continuity.
You can use that, if you like, "Reign of the Republicans." Has a nice ring to it, I'll admit.
Why are Democrats so nasty? I thought we could disagree w/o being disagreeable? I suppose that's only if the deocrat is in the driver's seat...
Have a nice day :)
Maybe you could have a special guest speaker at the caucus. I think Martha Coakley will have plenty of time on her hands come February 13th.
.let me see thats 8+4+8= 20 years of Bush rule...out of 28 years..and you werent complaining about dynasties then...SHUT UP!
