Tax Cuts for the Wealthy Create Jobs – Or do They?
There’s been a lot of debate recently surrounding the expiration of the “Bush Tax Cuts.” While almost nobody is arguing that taxes should be raised across the board, controversy surrounds the issue of renewing tax cuts for those earning an income of over $200,000 per year.
Housing Misconceptions
Most people generally get a warm, fuzzy feeling when they find that their house’s value increased 50% over the last several years. This gut instinct is generated by our many experiences in the past when we owned something that we could easily sell at a profit and walk away with money in our pocket. And if you are a real estate investor, when a property you own appreciates, this is exactly what you can do (or charge a higher rent, generally). But what about the average homeowner?
Does TIME Read STF?
Okay, so I obviously can’t attribute TIME reporting this story because we reported on it last month, but if nothing else it shows validity to the whole argument if a major magazine such as TIME will do a story about the decriminalization of marijuana and how, at least economically, it could benefit California.

What the Dilly, O?
Presidential Inaguration: $170 Million.
Reinstating funding for stem cell research: some of $10 billion allocated to health care and research, despite over 4.5 billion already pledged by states.
Reinstating funding to UNFPA – $35 million per year (reinstates funding for “population control” [including abortions] in third world countries)
Some other stuff:
A $65 billion-a-year health plan
$15 billion [...]
Decriminalize Marijuana and Fix the Economy
If you’re a fan of this site, you’ll know that I’ll occasionally go on my political rants, and these more often than not reveal my mostly conservative viewpoints. Here’s one for all you right-winged hippies. Let me just say that slaptheface.com doesn’t condone the use, sale of, or thinking about of illegal narcotics. [...]
Obama’s Eligibility to be Decided By Supreme Court
Here’s an interesting story that everybody I’ve asked for their opinion on seems to know nothing about. This isn’t a huge surprise, but rather disappointing that the mainstream media have given it little to no attention. This story dates back over the past year, when President-Elect Barack Obama’s citizenship began being questioned. Many [...]
Make Change, Not Bumper Stickers
Here’s an interesting clip from YouTube: former Presidential hopeful Ron Paul discussing his idea of “Obama Fever” and pointing out that it isn’t necessarily all Obama’s job to change everything in America that everybody wants change: it’s also the American peoples’ job to hold the President, whoever it is, accountable for that change.

America Grew a Brain
That’s my opinion anyway. See I could care less about religion, if you do that’s fine. But it should have nothing to do with voting for a president. If you took the South and Midwest out of the equation there would never be a Conservative in any office, except maybe Ron Paul [...]
Election 2008: Steve’s Reaction
Well, America, you have spoken. The big news I guess is that Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States. Additionally, the Senate’s majority is Democrat, which isn’t too surprising. Actually, no part of this area of the election is too surprising to me – disappointing, absolutely, but surprising, no. [...]
Highest Voter Turnout in History
So today is expected to be the highest voter turnout in US History (percentage-wise). To me, that’s exciting. Maybe it’s the blogs, the MySpace, the Facebook, the YouTube… whatever the reason, it’s awesome. And many of you have asked for whom I voted.
I voted for change. Even though many people would argue that [...]
