Calculators: What will your taxes be under Romney vs. Obama? What Percent Are You? (Link to INTERACTIVE Calculators)

Juxtaposition can be a really cool thing. Check out both apps.

The www.barackobama.com/tax-calculator claims to calculate what your taxes would under a Mitt Romney tax plan versus what your taxes will be under Obama in a 2nd term.

On October 19,2011 the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published this article written by Phil Izzo for the WSJ blog . It includes what is fast becoming a favorite app for seeing where you stand in the 99% (or perhaps the 1%, if you’re lucky).

You can read the article, or click on the link below to go straight to the app:

Also check out a version of the calculator created earlier by Robert Frank (July 28, 2011) for The Wealth Report that also looks at total wealth. Frank has now upgraded his calculator with “Frank’s Rich-O-Meter 3.0”.

Occupy The Ballot? In Houston, Not So much.

2 Replies

I think that politics can be summed up in two statements:

1) Given an honest count, politicians will follow the will of the voters.

2) In the absence of voters, politicians will follow the will of their monetary donors.

The #OCCUPY movement has changed our national political conversation, and raised public awareness of economic injustice and financial/political corruption. These are significant political successes.

But the #OCCUPY movement has failed in one very important place: It has not succeeded in Occupying the Ballot. Continue reading →

The first section below the jump is a simple meeting schedule for Nov. 21-24.

Below that, in order to provide an idea of the goings-on at the Occupation, I have gone to the #OccupyHouston Twitter account and copy/pasted their timeline of Tweets and re-Tweets (after the jump), to give you some sense of real-time communication over the last several days.

The timeline goes backward from the time of this post (Nov. 21, 4:30 PM) through some time on Nov. 18.

I have often discussed the Occupy Movement with my step-daughter, Grace (to whom I sometimes refer as my daughter, so don’t get confused). So you can imagine my interest and excitement (and I think hers, too) when she told me that there was going to be an #OccupyHarvard. Continue reading →
