Comment on Is Dell Trying to Self-Destruct?

I totally agree you. There has been a big difference foreseen in Today's Dell and Dell Before. If Dell will keep on going with this strategy then one day they will be there from there they have started.

Comment on North Face's Case is the South Butt

2010-04-05T03:02:46Z

Well said. Based on the language of the denials that Judge Sippel has thus far ordered, this is shaping up to be a rough case for "South Butt". Its clear that there is a problem when the judge quotes an entire rule of evidence in one of his orders, and another begins with a clever, attributed but uncited quote about thin ice and hot water. One is left to imagine how bad those motion calls really were...

I think either the Judge is a little too defensive over the logo of his own Denali jacket, and ought to recuse himself, ;) , or the defense attorney isn't a very good salesman, and ought to take a quick course on how to convince others of the obvious.

I agree and as soon as people start actually paying for everything the government is doing, they will come to the conclusion that the government could function on less money. That is part of my problem with Obama's pledge of keeping taxes the same or giving a tax cut to 95% of tax payers. You now have 95% of tax payers who have no reason to care what the government spends. While you can keep adding taxes to the top 5%, eventually that well runs dry. The top 5% either give up or move to a jurisdiction with more reasonable taxes.

Furthermore, history has shown over and over that taxes creep down. You may not be paying the tax today, but eventually you will. A prime example is the Alternative Minimum Tax. It was put in place to make sure that the very wealthy aren't able to avoid taxes. Now it is hitting many middle class families. The only way to control government spending is to have everyone pay in so that every tax increase hits everyone.

I've always wondered why voters and politicians talk about tax "cuts." There's no such thing as a tax "cut" except when there's a surplus. There's only a tax shift to our children.

We gotta get into the mindset that once we've decided how much we want government to spend, well, that's the amount we need government to tax.

Or do they patent the idea?

Keep up the good work,

Thanks for bringing this up
