Too Conservative begins the rise from the ashes?

After finding out that Too Conservative had been taken off the wire a few weeks ago, I’ve checked in on the site every couple of days to see if there’s anything new. The first sign of something moving over there came a few days ago when the message I got from browsing to the site changed from the “forbidden” warning I spoke of back in September to a screen indicating that the site was being brought back on-line but didn’t have all the necessary files yet. Today, I note that the site appears to be coming back on-line, although slowly. The post showing at the top of the site is from back in March. Perhaps they can get more recent stuff on-line soon.

Still, it’s a good thing that the site is responding at all. That’s real progress and we can have hope that TC will be back in the saddle again very soon.

Elections matter: what happens to tax rates under the proposed plans of the 2 candidates?

TaxProf Blog has information you should see: Marginal Tax Rates Under Obama (50%), McCain (40%).

Have a look at the graphs and understand what this means to the middle-class folks earning between $30K-$60K. The tax rates on these folks will go up, significantly. Ditto to those households making $105K-$125K which, given the average payroll these days, isn’t too difficult for a 2-earner family to reach.
