Comment on Natural Gas Reconsidered by Larry

Larry — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:52:53 +0000

I believe that the expansion of natural gas exploration and especially the process of fracking is going to encourage vehicle manufacturers to move more and more in the direction of NG. Already, a large number of transit buses are CNGV and many trucking fleets are switching to Natural Gas. I believe the number of CNG vehicles for sale will increase drastically over the coming years. See http://www.naturalgas-vehicles.com/natural-gas-vehicles-for-sale.html which is a good related site. To me, this is great news since natural gas is a very clean burning fuel and we have an abundance of it. This removes our dependency on foreign fuel and bolsters our national security.

Comment on Good Food, Good Jobs: Turning Food Deserts into Jobs Oases by Keneth Bowan

Thanks for the strategies you discuss through this web site. In addition, a lot of young women who seem to become pregnant usually do not even make an effort to get medical health insurance because they are concerned they would not qualify. Although a few states currently require that insurers offer coverage no matter what about the pre-existing conditions. Fees on these kinds of guaranteed plans are usually greater, but when taking into consideration the high cost of medical care it may be the safer strategy to use to protect your current financial future.

Comment on Wingnut Watch: Flat Tax Fanatacism by George Arkedis

George Arkedis — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:13:12 +0000

Again, the flat tax need not be a Republican solution if presented effectively and differently from the Perry proposal. It could be a progressive solution to a bloated, unfair, and unnecessarily complicated tax regime. Nobody below the federal poverty level pays anything. All income, ordinary compensation, interest, capital gains are taxed at the same rate. (Let’s debate charitable contribution deductions. I am in favor.) The poor pay nothing. The middle class pays approximately the same amount although easier. And, the wealthy who don’t pay the highest tax rate anyway on blended income pay at least the same if not more. Ask Warren Buffett. I realize hedge fund managers may not be pleased, but please! There’s a idea conservatives I speak with and progressives should be able to get behind.
