Summer 2013 Statistics of Income Bulletin Now Available WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced that the summer 2013 issue of the Statistics of Income Bulletin is available at IRS.gov. The summer 2013 issue features data from Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, filed with individual income tax returns for tax years 2008 through 2010. The Statistics of Income (SOI) Division produces the SOI Bulletin on a quarterly basis. Articles included in the publication provide the most recent data available from various tax and information returns filed by U.S. taxpayers. This issue of the SOI Bulletin also includes articles on the following topics: - Wage Income and Elective Retirement Contributions from Form W-2, 2008-2010. The average individual W-2 earnings rose slightly from $40,532 in 2008 to $40,892 in 2010. Some 65.8 million taxpayers with W-2 income participated in an employer-sponsored retirement savings plan in tax year 2010, making $209.2 billion in direct contributions for the year.
- Sole Proprietorship Returns, 2011. Approximately 23.4 million individual income tax returns reported nonfarm sole proprietorship activity for tax year 2011. Profits rose to $282.6 billion for the year, a 5.6-percent increase from 2010. Total receipts increased to $1.3 trillion for 2011, up 5.9 percent from 2010.
- Foreign Recipients of U.S. Income, 2010. Foreign persons received $557.8 billion in U.S.-source income in Calendar Year 2010, representing a 2.1-percent increase over the amount paid in 2009. Interest payments accounted for the largest share of income paid to foreign recipients (46.8 percent) in 2010, followed by dividends (20 percent).

| I. O. U. America! Posted: 03 Sep 2013 05:35 AM PDT I owe it to two of my brothers and two of my sisters, and their spouses, who have between them six children in the military, to try to spread the below post as far and wide as possible. I owe it to every family in America that has loved ones in the military. We have days, if not hours, before Hussein Obama intends to throw America into a war where we will side with terrorists who attacked our country twelve years ago. The atrocities they commit every single day are horrific. So many of our military went to war to fight these animals - now they are being asked to support them? What kind of sick, demented, leader would ask that of those men and women or ask the American public to support it? If America partners with Al Qaeda - we are damning ourselves to hell forever. Please read, please forward, PLEASE do what you can!!! From Freedom Outpost - U.S. Military Doesn't Want To Fight For Christian-Killing Jihadists In Syria Why is the Obama administration so determined to have the U.S. military help al-Qaeda win the civil war in Syria? Why are we being told that the U.S. has "no choice" but to help rabid jihadist terrorists that are slaughtering entire Christian villages, brutally raping Christian women and joyfully beheading Christian prisoners? If you are a Christian, you should not want anything to do with these genocidal lunatics. Jabhat al-Nusra is a radical Sunni terror organization affiliated with al-Qaeda that is leading the fight against the Assad regime. If they win, life will be absolute hell for the approximately two million Christians in Syria and other religious minorities. According to Wikipedia, Jabhat al-Nusra intends "to create a Pan-Islamic state under sharia law and aims to reinstate the Islamic Caliphate." As you will see below, many members of the U.S. military understand this, and they absolutely do not want to fight on the side of al-Qaeda. Not that we should be supporting Assad either. Assad is horrible. He should be rotting in prison somewhere. But just because a country has a bad leader does not mean that we have justification to attack them. The U.S. military should only be put into action when there is a compelling national interest at stake. And getting involved in a bloody civil war between Assad and al-Qaeda does not qualify. For the moment, we have a little bit of time to educate the American people about this because..... Continue reading HERE.
| | Hussein Obama's Military Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:17 AM PDT More than a few of Obama's subjects took exception to his calling the Armed Forces of the United States "my military" a couple of days ago. Overly sensitive I'm sure but we all just have to accept that when one is POTUS he/she can do/say whatever he-she pleases. 
@DocNelson_68W - The Founders greatly feared a powerful standing army. Obama just demonstrated why. #MyMilitary @jec678 - #MyMilitary @BarackObama I've never seen anyone so in love with being President.. #mine #mine #mine #Minefield @MEEchelleO - When Barack said He'd send #MyMilitary to attack #Syria He meant these thugs. 
@shreksshrek - #MyMilitary A freudian slip (in public), or a Teleprompter pre-written phrase? An item worth confirming. #PerplexingParapraxis @DocNelson_68W - Something else to think about: Obama's self- admitted drug use would disqualify him from even serving in the military. #MyMilitary @BossyMother - The difference is...#MyMilitary 
@Barry_O44 - Sooooo its #MyMilitary but not the Obama IRS, Obama NSA & Obama DOJ... Got it? #NotADicktator #uppers #Vets #Mitary @Jillybob - #Mymilitary RT @BradThor: Words we'll never hear #Obama utter: "My economy..." @GaltsGultch - It's Your Dog - It's The People's Military #TGDN #tcot #OpSLAM #MyMilitary 
| | More Common Core? Posted: 03 Sep 2013 04:10 AM PDT This makes my skin crawl. Via The Minority Report - WTF? Elementary Students Taught "The Government Is Your Family" There was a huge WTF? moment this weekend as I was reading this story on The Blaze. Apparently we're now teaching children that "The Government Is Your Family": Fourth-grade students in Illinois are learning that "government is like a nation's family" because it sets rules and takes care of needs such as health care and education. So says a worksheet for social studies homework that was distributed to students at East Prairie School in Skokie, Ill, complete with a drawing of Uncle Same cradling a baby that represents the citizens.

| | "The wisdom of the people must be heeded." Posted: 02 Sep 2013 11:18 AM PDT Sounds good. But, WILL the people make a difference? That is the big question as we think of the people's disapproval of Obamacare and the arm twisting that went into getting that monstrosity done, and the FACT that if Hussein Obama thinks he can get away with it, no matter what the people say, no matter how the traitorous congress votes - he will do what he damn well pleases to move his fundamentally changing America agenda forward if he thinks he can get away with it, and most of the time he can, and does. Sarah Palin on Facebook: We have no clear mission in Syria. There's no explanation of what vital American interests are at stake there today amidst yet another centuries-old internal struggle between violent radical Islamists and a murderous dictatorial regime, and we have no business getting involved anywhere without one. And where's the legal consent of the people's representatives? Our allies in Britain have already spoken. They just said no. The American people overwhelmingly agree, and the wisdom of the people must be heeded. In the meantime - trickle trickle trickle - connect the dots on to our economy (read OIL) because attacking Syria would have an effect! From the below I have excerpted only the portion that has to do with the middle east as that is the subject though there is much more. From Business Insider - ROUBINI: Investors Are Underestimating The Republican 'Jihad' Against Spending - excerpts - There are two major geopolitical uncertainties as well. First, will the looming military strikes by the US and its allies against Syria be limited in scope and time, or will they trigger a wider military confrontation? The last thing that a fragile global economy needs now is another round of peak oil prices. Second, a year ago the US convinced Israel to give its non-military approach to Iran's nuclear-weapons ambitions time to bear fruit. But, after a year of economic sanctions and negotiations with no result, Israel's patience on what it regards as an existential issue is wearing thin. Even short of an actual military conflict - which could double oil prices overnight - the resumption of saber-rattling by Israel and the war of words between the two sides could lead to a sharp rise in energy costs. Much more detail HERE. Useful piece in this discussion - via Blood of the Lamb - Flashback Friday: The History of the Federal Reserve
| | Washington Post Slams DOJ School-Choice Lawsuit Posted: 02 Sep 2013 11:05 AM PDT Via Roger Clegg at The Corner:
Even the Washington Post is condemning the Justice Department̢۪s attack on Louisiana̢۪s school-voucher program. The Post's lead editorial today calls the attack "appalling," and concludes the following: "Louisiana parents are clamoring for the choice afforded by this program; the state is insisting on accountability; poor students are benefiting. The federal government should get out of the way." Interesting how it is that the Obama administration and most others on the left are all about "choice" when it comes to abortion ... but their enthusiasm for "choice" begins and ends with killing the unborn. They couldn't care less about parents having a choice as to where to put their kids, and most parents, including a majority of blacks, support vouchers because they realize it means their children can choose a better school and receive a better education. To be clear, opposition to school choice is best understood as a form of monopolistic protectionism. The Obama administration is acting solely in the interest of their union base and their leftist allies, whose opposition is founded in economic self-interest. Under the status quo, that self-interest is naturally and inexorably in conflict with the interests of parents, children, and high-achieving teachers. As Jeremy Beer, Ph.D., Jeffrey J. Cain, Ph.D., and Ilan Wurman have pointed out in their study on school choice in Texas: The most significant opposition to school-choice initiatives such as vouchers comes from teacher and school administrator organizations. Opposition to school choice and vouchers also draws on ideology -- particularly the historic Progressive preference for centralized, bureaucratic systems of public control and Progressive fearfulness of religion and unassimilated minorities. The same applies all over the country ... for liberal progressives (i.e. Eric Holder, Barack Obama, and unions), it's all about power, control, and money ... and they could care less about parents having a choice in where and how to educate their children. | | Re: Obozo's War Footing Posted: 02 Sep 2013 06:18 AM PDT This image is simply too appropriate not to pass along!  (Image via Nice Deb via Anyer Marx at The People's Cube)
By war-footing, Nice Deb means ... he's desperately making phone calls to members of congress pushing his Syrian war plans while propping his bony foot up on the Resolute Desk. Republicans are used to seeing this combative president on war footing --unfortunately, the usual targets of his blistering attacks are they themselves -- not any foreign enemies. Obama, in fact, started out this year with an agenda to destroy the GOP as a national party. Now all of a sudden, he needs them to help him out of the corner he painted himself in. Yes indeed. The next couple of weeks should be interesting,. "Check out Drudge Report pic of the President with his foot on the desk" wrote Lou Dobbs on Twitter. "The White House released it mistakenly thinking it's a cool image." Much more HERE. | | Obama: 'My' Military Posted: 02 Sep 2013 06:02 AM PDT 
Listen carefully, at approximately the ten second mark of the video below, to an address regarding Syria a couple days ago in which Obama refers to the United States Military as HIS military. Are these the words of a President of the United States or are they more like the words of wannabe dictator or a third-world despot? Obama: "As I've already said, I have had MY MILITARY and our team look at a wide range of options ..." Hat tip - TPN
