After reading the "Recommended" diary about the 2009 Tax Amnesty with the DOJ, I dug into DOJ public files and really found not much to write about, since everything is a "John Doe" deal. But, I did find this.

This is off the beaten path of political discourse, but this may hit a nerve. As a 37 year old who married a divorced man with two girls 18 and 12, I've come to realize in the short few years of "step-motherhood" the trials, tribulations, and frightening enough, lack of knowledge pertaining to basic things. I may be an etiquette, education snob in the end, but I must protest. The frustrating part is, as a "Step-Mom", my educational guidance is severely restricted, basically, sit back, stay silent, observe the mayhem, and walk away.

For awhile now, I must admit that I have been confused about the democratic stance against tax reform. Real tax reform in the vein of fair/flat tax initiatives, removing the world of deductions, financial lobbying, and Wall Street influence in Washington. Isn't that the main complaint of OWS and the financial sector's influence over Washington? I guess you will think me crazy, but real tax reform works to OWS goals. Am I out of the loop on this?

Republican candidates, like Rick Perry and Newt, are seizing on the OWS lingo, as noted in recent diaries for a good reason...they are for fair/flat tax reform. Where is the democratic tax reform platform?

Simple you might say, like 999, but powerful, effective, and would change things radically in Washington! What is it?....

I was doing some online research on a theory that my husband was reading about regarding federal stimulus versus private stimulus, discussing an article written by economist, Karl Smith, proposing a 1 year federal income tax hiatus, versus pushing money into the market through Federal stimulus (QE4). Quite radical, but got my head thinking.

I then found a link from 2006 of a Daily Kos diarist, David Atkins, that discussed some interesting ideas as it relates to Republicans and the Overton Theory. Make note of how the past issues and proposals hit the tipping point of the Overton Theory, and where we are today with the current Republic House and election candidates .

However you slice the current outcome of the debt ceiling debate, one cannot ignore the facts that governing this country by extreme ideology will not work and should not.

Hostage taking by black and white thinking in perilous times to the country, allowing the U.S. to default, lose credit rankings and tanking the markets is no solution to promote agendas.

All of the rantings against the Tea Baggers unfortunately could be said and is said about the Progressive community. In viewing the recent battle within Congress and its battle with the White House, the "Gray", in this case and in most cases, the "Base", succeeded much to the chagrin of each "Black" and "White" thinker.

One thing is for sure, a lot of folks are angry right now. It's not just the democrats and republicans battling it out, it's the overall situation that we find ourselves in relation to our government, wall street, education, employment, equal rights, wars, taxes, health care, and the litany of many other issues that plague our national interest, both short term and long term.

It's not, I believe, this single fight over taxes that will make or break us, it's the whole structure that is corrupt and broken. If we were to change a few things, not to be overly simplistic, but just a few things, the disgust with our current state and political leadership would shift. Here are a few of my thoughts...

It's not enough that the U.S. is throwing a dangerous temper tantrum over WikiLeaks, that has successfully convinced PayPal and Amazon to squelch freedom of speech. But, when Columbia students and USAID workers are sent memos, threatening that if they access Wiki servers, they will be blackballed or worse, breaking the law, it's crossing the line into authoritarian.

I am continually amazed and confounded at the political tacks and statements from our Congressional leaders during a time when people are facing the loss of their unemployment benefits just in time for the holiday season. Niiiiiice.

This is an updated diary that I posted yesterday which includes a link to an article posted in Huffington today regarding the GOP blockage of oil and gas environmental fracking regulations and more important that FRAC Act. This has been all too disappointing and for those who like to venture a thought about the future, think high prices for basic tap water. Just a thought, and read away.

Browsing the homepage top stories that included the article regarding the stripped down version of the Energy Bill, I noticed this important line regarding the future of natural gas.

"Providing incentives for turning the nation‘s heavy truck fleet to natural gas and toward electrification of the nation‘s transportation sector."

Those who support natural gas exploration and extraction as a clean energy resource might not have seen "Gaslands". Or you may have, but the writing is on the wall, and I concede that natural gas will be in our future, but it does not mean that I am not concerned with "how" we get to it.

I was going to entitle my article, "Don't blame the gas drillers, it's the Amish Farmers"! But I noticed in doing a search for Gasland articles, there were none. So....
