Obama´s Regulatory Cliff
Is The Bigger Problem

Investors Business Daily, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:Desert Fox, 12/21/2012 7:47:50 PM

Rules: Even if President Obama and John Boehner work out a deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff," the U.S. is still careening toward a another cliff, thanks to Obama´s massively expensive, if little noticed, regulatory agenda. As IBD reported before the election, Obama´s regulatory minions had temporarily put several costly new rules on ice to protect the president from charges that he was anti-business and to shield the economy from the effects of all these huge new regulatory burdens. But almost as soon as voters decided to give Obama four more years, his regulators once again sprang into action.

Don´t expect to hear a whisper of this from the Obama loving Press, they are also committed to the destruction of America.

The scary thing is that industry only has a so many billion in capital to invest each year. If 100 billion go to modifying plants to make the products, those same products will have to go up in price 10 billion dollars to pay the carrying cost. If the price can´t be raised, 10 billion dollars in salaries will need to be cut.

Neo-communists don´t want to own the means of production, they want to hobble it and put custom yokes on it. They take almost a sadistic pleasure in watching businesses struggle with the absurd controls they impose. And most of all, they love turning them into tax collecting machines that aren´t evident as tax collecting devices by the sheeple.

This is a very underreported story. As bad as raising tax rates to 40% would be, if job creators have a sense that they can run their affairs without too much interference from the State and some confidence rates won´t move up yet again, they will adjust to the 40%. It´s the poor schlub looking for work who gets hurt in that scenario. But these regulations are the death knell. And here they come!

Why exactly are the politicians looking to ´ regulate ´ guns into extinction ? . See Gabby Giffords , not a school with kids . Why are the feds arming local police as if they were military ? . They may be greedy , corrupt and absolute uncaring , unpatriotic socialists , but they aren´t stoopid enough not to know that when the public has had enough , heads will roll . Any bets Harry Reid has someone look under his car each day ?. Well when a business owner loses his lifes passion - his business , because of a regulation that belongs in a book of laughs , or a lifelong employee gets the axe because of it , you get the idea . The time will come when enough is enough .

Suppose they gave a Marxist revolution and nobody cared? New strategies and tactics are needed, and if necessity is the mother of invention, its time to fill the maternity ward.

I submit for discussion the strategy of intentional non-compliance. A lesson learned from “Atlas Shrugged” is the importance to socialists to have the consent of their victims. Socialists cannot be shamed because they have no virtue, but they can be ignored because they value conformity. Perhaps its time to resurrect that old 1960’s put down, “Sounds like a personal problem.”

The strategy of intentional non-compliance by conservatives will leverage off the ‘wall of apathy’ surrounding our citizenry that the socialists used to gain governing power. It may be most effective at the local level against Agenda 21 rules and regulations.

The strategy of intentional non-compliance employs simple tactics: 1) Live your life. 2) Stay off the bureaucratic radar as long as possible. Ignore all letters and written notifications, be too busy to talk on the phone and do not return voice mail. Force them to come to you in person. 3) The bureaucrat will likely be a nice person just trying to do their job. Let them give their shtick. Do not sign any forms, but request time to read them carefully later. Thank them for being so kind to explain all these new requirements. Offer them a cookie. Smile and wave goodbye. 4) Continue to not comply.

This is an excerpt from an essay I wrote a few weeks after the election. I’ll post it on the Connection.

Reagan cut the per capita cost of regulations by 40%. That was the reason the economy boomed.

Under Zippy the economy will never generate the needed growth to increase employment, raise revenue or meet it´s obligations. No tax policy, no austerity measures can save us.

Talk about art imitating life. I landed upon a classic movie while surfing TV channels. Kirk Douglas played a down-on-his-luck news reporter. When I began watching the movie, a man named Leo was trapped in a collapsed cave. Douglas managed to crawl within a few feet of Leo and was chatting with Leo, assuring the scared man that he would be rescued ASAP. But secretly, Douglas had other plans. Keeping Leo trapped for at least seven days could revive Douglas´s career. He had exclusive access to Leo. Writing daily updates could produce tremendous financial rewards;

Over the weekend, I saw an article by Heather Long complaining that Obama has turned out to be a lot like Bush: "This isn´t the president so many took to the streets to cheer on in 2008. And the blame for that can´t be placed solely on partisan politics or the media´s thirst for a good scandal." Miss Long reminisces about the excitement of election night 2008. She saw people in the streets celebrating the coming of Obama. She recalls the anticipation of a new day, here, there and everywhere. Well, I also remember election night 2008.

Celebs slam GOP on abortion

Film and television stars hit Republicans on Wednesday for their opposition to abortion rights and free access to birth control. Stanley Tucci, Morena Baccarin, Mehcad Brooks and others appeared in a Web video where they slammed conservative positions on women´s health as retrograde. The international Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) is behind the multi-stage campaign to push President Obama to make women´s health issues a centerpiece of his second term. The group is also raising support for its Bill of Reproductive Rights.

Why the IRS Went After the Tea Party
Instead of Establishment Republicans

As the old saying goes, beware of Greeks bearing gifts; but as the new saying goes, beware even more of Republicans bearing bribes. In either case, one could get destroyed (or at least corrupted) from the inside by trusting the wrong people. Since 2006, with the beginnings of the breakaway of populist conservatives from the national Republican Party via the Tea Party movement, the GOP has been trying to figure out how to co-opt and capture it once again, just as George W. Bush did with many elements of the conservative movement in the early years of the 21st century.

Major news outlets in recent days have reported that U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is raising money from the private sector—including from health-care executives—for use by a private entity that is helping to implement ObamaCare. The entity, Enroll America, is run by a former White House aide. The Washington Post quoted an HHS spokesman last week saying, "We requested additional money [from Congress] . . . but we didn´t receive any additional funding for the exchanges. So we had to come up with Plan B." My immediate thought was: Isn´t "Plan B" what got

Every day brings new revelations about who knew what about the IRS targeting conservative groups during President Obama´s re-election campaign, but the overall impression is of a vast federal bureaucracy run amok. While the White House continues to peddle the story of a driverless train wreck, taxpayers are being treated to a demonstration of the dangers of an unwieldy and unaccountable administrative state. Look, Ma, no hands! In his press events, Mr. Obama has said that while he learned about the Cincinnati rogues on the news, he plans to "hold accountable those who have taken these outrageous actions."

Scandal Watch: New evidence makes it clear that the Internal Revenue Service campaign against conservatives wasn´t the result of two "rogue" agents, but was directed from higher up. The question is, how high up? The claim that a couple of workers in the bowels of an IRS office in Cincinnati managed to block tax-exempt applications from conservative groups for more than two years, while subjecting them to outrageous, intrusive and improper requests for information, started falling apart days ago. Last weekend, the Washington Post quoted a staffer saying that "everything comes from the top" at the IRS.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest?
