All Hail Kickstarter!

Anthony bird dogs a small scale steel furnace for artists and blade smiths.  The fellow needed $4000 to build his furnace, and he oversubscribed by 10%.  He'll need it, because since the USGovt policy is get big or get out, it is pretty clear any money made from kickstarter will be taxed as income, if there is anything left over after the securities lawyers finish your compliance paperwork.

Just search "kickstarter" on this blog to see my posts on those two topics.

I have no use for kickstarter myself, and this fellow could have raised $4000 without to much problem by working nights at Micky D's, but there are plenty of people who'd like to see this fellow get this done faster, and they are happy to help him out.  All hail Kickstarter for brokering that.

But the next time you meet a lawyer, know that they work for the government, and their job is to effect a crushing burden on the small, the creative, the competitive, and above all advance the State agenda.

Clearly the United States legal system is a net deficit, well, like out budget.  The courts are a creation of the legislature, and it may be time to reform the US legal system.  but that will neer happen as long as we allow the conflict of interest in which lawyers can serve in the legislature and the executive branch.

So, first step, make it a crime, punishable by twenty years in prison and a million dollar fine, for a lawyer to run for public office.

Then when we've seized the legislature back from the lawyers, we can reform our legal structure.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
