    Consumption versus income tax

    There is an article in the Guardian Unlimited today about Mike Huckabee’s proposed Federal tax reform. Low and behold it sounds virtually identical to Mike Gravel’s proposal. If anyone knows which Mike crossed the road first, please let me know in the comments.

    As with any major tax reform, there would be major difficulties getting this passed and major difficulties with implementation.

    Right off the [...]



    Mike Gravel Alternative CNN Dem Debate Nov 15th

    Mike had some technical difficulties in the beginning of this so you should move the slider to around the 28 minute mark to watch this. Mike Gravel provides great commentary as the debate progresses. If you are going to bother to watch these diarrhea of the mouth displays, this is a much better way. You may have to wait quite some [...]



    Candidates@Google

    For anyone that has time to kill, here are over 6 hours of Presidential candidate interviews of 6 of the candidates. Also Gravel has a very “to the point message over at Huffpo” this morning to Obama and Edwards on how to take down Hillary on Iran.

    2008 Candidates

    Let’s just say today were the caucuses, not next February. Who would you vote for?

    I believe it’s time for us to take the opportunity and develop a platform, even if it’s only in the sense of what we’re looking for in a candidate. Some of us have done this already – most notably John. Let’s at least begin narrowing down our list, so we can find out who to devote our resources, limited as they are, to [...]



    Gravel Gives Them Hell

    Just watched the Dems debate replay on CNN.com.  The you tube format really worked.  Made for a most interesting and entertaining candidate debate.  Here are my brief observations (may have more to say here later):

    Biden said his net worth was between $75,000 and $150,000 and therefore as President he would not work for the minimum wage (one of the questions).  As a U.S Senator who [...]



    Gravel Letter to Harry Reid & Senate Dems: Stop Showboating

    I am glad to see that you have finally used the powers of the Senate to try to stop the war, but frankly I agree with the Republicans: this week's Senate sleepover was more theater than substance.

    First off, the Reid–Levin bill will not stop the war – it calls for a limited pull out that would leave the rest of our troops even more vulnerable. [...]
