Iowans Vote with Feet and take $2.2-billion with them when they leave the state

Click here: Migration of Personal Income Map illustrates the interstate movement of income over the past decade (from 2000 to 2010). When a person moves to a new state, their income is added to the total of all other incomes in that state. This positively affects the total taxable income in his or her new state, and negatively affects the income in the state he or she left.

Blue Moon over Burlington

Photo by Dan Hockett A Blue Moon rises over Burlington Tuesday night.    The term ‘Blue Moon’ was originally defined as the third full moon in a four moon season. An error printed in a 1943 issue of "Sky & Telescope" magazine mistakenly defined a blue moon as the second full moon in a single month. The definition stuck.    Tuesday’s blue moon is a ‘technical’ Blue Moon. It is the third full moon in a four-full-moon season. The ‘Blue Moon’ rule was originally detailed in a 1937 edition of Maine Farmers' Almanac. Blue Moons occur infrequently, the next Blue Moon will not occur until 2015.

Healthcare Not Constitutional Right

Falcon:

How could someone that was supposedly a Constitutional lawyer possibly declare that healthcare is a Constitutionally guaranteed right?  To me this sounds like someone that has little to no knowledge of the Constitution and is just lying to everyone that read it on his Twitter account.  I can never recall a president that constantly lied on a daily basis as does Obama and the problem is his lies are destroying the country lie by lie.

Late last week, President Barack Hussein Obama identified “health insurance” as a Constitutionally guaranteed right. While educated people from sea to shining sea perused the text of the Constitution in a vain search for the previously undiscovered right to be forced to purchase health insurance if so ordered by the President, Obama’s accomplices took to the blogosphere to celebrate the newly decreed “right.” Obama transmitted his proclamation through the White House’s Twitter account.

How and the hell is health insurance a right when everyone is forced to buy it and just where in the Constitution can this right be found?  Liar, liar pants on fire Obama.
