Two interesting things I have read in the last couple of days. One is from the latest issue of Forbes magazine. The piece is an editorial written by Steve Forbes himself. Mr. Forbes has had some interesting ideas over the years, but his favorite cause has been the idea of a flat tax. His editorial this month comments on Rudy Giuliani's very interesting ideas on tax simplification. I'm very intrigued by the ideas mentioned, but sadly my vote doesn't count because I don't live in Iowa or New Hampshire and I will never know what could have come from these ideas. ANYWAY...here is the link to the online version. Check out the hard copy if you get a chance because it shows a sample tax form under the Giuliani plan and it is simply amazing. Oh yeah...there are multiple editorials on this link, but the tax part is under the heading "Reagan Would Applaud".

The other interesting thing I read was an interview in the Gazette that came out today. The interview is with Senator Tom Coburn who just visited Iraq and came away with some interesting observations. I was honestly shocked to see this in the Gazette since they hate Senator Coburn, but I think his disagreement with the Bush Administration on the handling of the war and war spending is what got him in this weeks issue. Senator Coburn remains as one of probably ten people who actually belong in congress. It gives me hope for Oklahoma that we elected Coburn and sent lying jokers like Brad Carson packing. Coburn has announced that he is not interested in being VP, which I would have loved to have seen, but we still have him in the Senate fighting for Oklahoma and for what is right. If only we could get a man like Coburn to be our Governor. Henry has failed and it is time to find someone qualified for the job.

Well you know, if we were to move Coburn to the governor position in Oklahoma, we would have less good men in Congress. I think Coburn needs to stay where he is and if Hillary Clinton loses the presidential campaign, we could request she become governor of Oklahoma. One thing we would not have to worry about: we'd all have healthcare!
We would need to put the national guard on our border to keep her liberal ass out! I'm not paying for anyone else's healthcare. If they aren't responsible enough to earn it themselves then they can go without. Healthcare is not a right.
