How Ironic

The Wall Street Journal reported into today's paper that the 1st authenticated perpetrator of voter fraud was found in Florida and hired by the Republican National Committee in a total of 5 states. Maybe instead of eliminating voters who have difficulty getting ID's, the state government's fixated on this should focus on old fashioned and illegal ballot stuffing.

More WSJ Musings.

France's new tax rate is too high.  75% does inhibit innovation.  I think the dividing line should be 39% because with state taxes that gets close to 50% beyond which I think the tax rate is counterproductive.

Police and other's are using technology to photograph the license plates of every car passing by them.  While I know this is legal, it does give me pause about the role technology plays in reducing our privacy. Yet, at then end of my thought process, I cannot oppose this as long as it is only used to find criminals and foster commerce.  Privacy rules are one reason health care costs are so high because Dr's cannot share records with each other forcing them to repeat tests to find out results that are in another Dr's files.

Also, why on earth did a Border Patrol agent shoot across the border and kill a father having a picnic with his family?  Of course, why would a family picnic near the border, but since it was in the WSJ which is not known to make up facts (except on the editorial page), I will accept this a a true story.
