FOLLOWING THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

June Smith
President Obama has been traveling around the country talking about his economic plan and increasing his war chest.
The Golden Boy has put his gleaming ideas on a “To Do List” for Congress. Now that he’s declared that the private sector is doing ok, he wants to put Americans back to work and wants Congress to give small business owners tax breaks, among other endeavors.
According to the White House, the plan du jour is called “Jobs and the Economy: Putting American Back to Work”.
Here’s the plan, taken directly from the White House website. It is “posted” on a yellow “Congress To Do List” faux Post-It® Note, next to a countdown clock, ticking away the days, hours, minutes and seconds Congress has left before being able to drawing a line through each item:
▪Reward American Jobs Not Outsourcing
▪Expand Refinancing for Responsible Homeowners
▪Invest in Tax Credits for Small Business Jobs
▪Invest in Clean Energy Manufacturing
▪Create a Veterans Jobs Corps
▪Clean Out the Garage. Just kidding about that one, folks.
All the boowah, booha, bushway, blah blah and gory details can be found there, as well.
Topping the list is helping to spur on American manufacturing. While in Minneapolis to attend three private fundraising luncheons recently, the President was whisked six or so miles down 1-394 W to speak at Honeywell’s Golden Valley, Minnesota facility where he explained his plan for that.
Honeywell “is a partner in Obama’s Advanced Manufacturing Partnership and the administration’s ‘Joining Forces’ program”, whatever they are.
He told the hopeful group that, “At the moment, companies get tax breaks for moving factories, jobs and profits overseas. They can actually end up saving on their tax bill when they make the move. Meanwhile, companies that choose to stay here are getting hit with one of the highest tax rates in the world. That doesn’t make sense.
“…before we completely rework the tax code, before we've done a full-blown tax reform, at the very least what we can do right away is stop rewarding companies who ship jobs overseas and use that money to cover moving expenses for companies that are moving jobs back here to America.”
Beforehand, a White House Senior Administration Officer (WHSAO) said passing such legislation will “attract and keep good jobs in the United States by rewarding companies who bring jobs back to America with lower taxes and pay for it by eliminating tax incentives for companies to ship jobs overseas.”
The President also expounded on his plan to create a Veteran Job Corps, called the “We Can’t Wait” plan.
According to a WHSAO, Advanced Manufacturing Partner/ “Joining Forces” team player Honeywell “clearly recognizes the value of those who have served this county, and they are a great example of a private company who has really made a strong commitment to hire veterans."
Honeywell hired 610 veterans in 2011 and has hired more than 300 veterans so far this year. That’s admirable, to say the least, considering the unemployment rate for veterans was 8.3 percent in 2011.
"As thousands of our servicemen and women return for the end of the war in Iraq and the start of a responsible drawdown in Afghanistan, now more than ever we must fulfill our duty to them," said the WHSAO previously.
“More than 80 percent of manufacturers have reported shortages of skilled talent for the jobs that require the certificates the initiative will provide,” the WHSAO said, adding, “Veterans learned the skills those employers are seeking through their military training.”
The “We Can't Wait" plan will "provide opportunities for up to 126,000 service members to gain industry-recognized, nationally portable certifications for high-demand manufacturing jobs," according to the WHSAO.
So POTUS has ordered the Defense Department to catapult the “We Can’t Wait” plan into action this summer. Friday, September 21st is officially the last day of the summer of 2012. Time is of the essence. A gaggle of White House Junior Administration Officials must be very busy spurring on the war horse Defense Department to put the program in place.
There’s no need for taxpayers to worry about the cost of the “We Can’t Wait” program. It will be "minimal, in the tens of thousands of dollars," and will come from existing budgets, according to the WHSAO.
To advance the plan, Congress has been tasked with creating a Veterans Jobs Corps to help returning members of the military find work as police officers, firefighters and other public service jobs.
I’m in full support of anything beneficial for our troops and hope the plan works but this all smells like just another Victory Campaign debate agenda item to me.
The president also elaborated on Expanding Refinancing for Responsible Homeowners (ERFRH).
Note to a WHSAO: start another Post-It® Note list. ERFRH will no doubt require legislation to clarify and determine the definition and guidelines of “responsible” homeownership.
Obama wants everyone deemed eligible to benefit from ERFRH. He told the Honeywell employees, “There’s some folks here who could use $3,000 a year.
“Let’s get that done right now. That means, you know, if you got $3000 a year extra, that helps you pay down your credit cards, that helps you go out and buy some things that your family needs which is good for business.
“Maybe somebody will be replacing some thingamajig for their furnace. They been putting that off, but if they got that extra money, they might just go out there and buy that thing. Right?”
Right? Too early to tell and it seems like a hefty task for Congress, given everything else on the list while the clock’s ‘a tickin.
All I know is that if $3K were to come my way from any government plan, I’d use it to buy gold.

Five years ago I said sell Rocky Gap. Seriously. Five years ago.
On Wednesday, it will actually become a reality:
On Wednesday, it will actually become a reality:
After sinking millions of dollars into the dream of a world-class tourist destination in the mountains of Western Maryland, the state is poised to cut its losses and turn the Rocky Gap hotel and conference center over to a private company that plans to open a casino at the lakeside resort.
The Board of Public Works is scheduled to vote Wednesday on the final series of agreements needed to complete the transfer of the $54 million complex in Allegany County from the quasi-public Maryland Economic Development Corp. to Evitts Resort LLC, which plans to eventually install 1,000 slot machines at the site.
The board's expected approval would mark a new beginning for the resort. It also would mark an end to a state-backed venture that began almost two decades ago as an effort to bring an infusion of economic vitality to a perennially depressed part of Maryland. Instead, the resort near Cumberland has piled up losses year after year as occupancy has lagged.It's about time. You know I'm pretty serious about the idea of privatization of government assets, and even more so about keeping government out of the business of competing with private enterprises like hotels and golf courses. So the idea that even the Board of Public Works realizes that Rocky Gap as a state run enterprise is a failure, it gives me some hope for the future. Hope that maybe, just maybe, we can dismantle the Maryland Economic Development Corporation, divest ourselves of such unnecessary state assets, and keep the state of Maryland out of the business of competing with private enterprises.Of course in the this state one can only dream. But for one glorious day, the state of Maryland is actually doing something right...
Obama’s dictatorial ideology helps prove Gov. O’Malley’s presidential worthiness

While most Marylanders find it ludicrous that anyone – with the possible exception of his family and his posse of bootlickers – would consider Gov. Martin O’Malley as presidential material, the uncanny similarities between our lame duck governor and just plain lame president grow more noticeable with each of their seemingly never-ending progressive policies and blatant disregard of Constitutional law.

The Government takes as much of our money as possible. Now they are telling us how we spend what’s left over.
The U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics latest—2009, which seems about how long it would take a U.S. Department of Anything to produce something— Consumer Expenditure Survey details “U.S. Consumer Unit Expenditures” and “average annual expenditures and percent totals.”
Here are the percentages by category, fellow “Units”:
· 34.1%: Housing (shelter; utilities, fuels and public services; household operations; furnishings; and housekeeping supplies
· 17.6%: Transportation (vehicle purchases; gas, oil, and maintenance; and other transportation expenses)
· 12.4%: Food (at home and away from home)
· 10.8%: Insurance, Pensions, Life and other personal insurance
· 5.7%: Healthcare
· 5.4%: Entertainment
· 3.8%: Apparel and Services
· 3.7%: Cash contributions
· 1.9%: Education
· 1.6%: Miscellaneous
· 1.2%: Personal Care Products and Services
· 0.9%: Alcoholic Beverages
· 0.7%: Tobacco
· 0.2%: Reading
Added up, it totals 100%.
Missing from the big pie chart is any mention of the percentage of income taxes paid by the average “U.S. Consumer Unit”—“expenditures” also known as the mandatory payments legally withheld from gross income by the Government, states and paid to local municipalities.
What a major victory it was for the Government when mandatory withholding was established in 1943. If the average “Unit” had to calculate and make quarterly tax payments, write a check payable to the U.S. Treasury, put a stamp on it and mail it, there might be a another Tea Party like the one in Boston.
But I digress…
We use net income, after tax dollars (ATDs), what’s left over after Uncle Sam gets his piece of the pieto pay for our “Unit Expenditures” and to pay for additional taxes on taxable items, varying by state.
We’re not just paying at the gas pump. We’re paying for other imposed taxes with ATDs, directly or indirectly. Here a tax, there a tax, everywhere there’s a tax, tax, tax.
This compilation of taxable items from www.infotaxsquare.com is an eye-opener:
“GENERAL MERCHANDISE:
Automotive supplies, Ballpoint pens, Bath linens (towels, washcloths, etc.), Bathroom Scales,
“COSMETICS & TOILETRIES

“FOOD & BEVERAGES
Beer, Bottled water, Candied apples, Candy, confectionery and candy bars, Candy jellies, Caramel, caramels, and caramel-coated popcorn, Carbonated beverages and water, Chewing gum, Chocolate, chocolate candy, chocolate-coated nuts, raisins, and pretzels, Coated candies and coated candy, Cocktail mixes and Collins mixer, Cranberry juice cocktails, Cream candies, Dietetic candy, carbonated beverages, and soft drinks, Fountain drinks (e.g., sodas, milkshakes, etc.), French burnt peanuts, Fruit drinks containing less than 70% natural fruit juice, Fruit nectars and punch less than 70% fruit juice, Fudge, Gatorade, Glazed fruit, Hard candy, Hi-C, Honey-roasted peanuts, Ice and ice cubes, Ice cream cones and sodas, Jelly beans, Jordan almonds, Kool-Aid, Licorice, Maple sugar candy, Mineral water, Nougats, Nuts (chocolate or candy coated), Orange Crush, Pet food and supplies, Seltzer water, Soft drinks, Sugar-coated nuts and raisins, Toffee, Vegetable plants and seeds used to grow, Vichy water, Water, and Yoo Hoo (assorted flavors).”
Here is a sampling of a few other taxes and fees we pay with ATDs:
Mobile phones: a Federal Universal Service Charge, Regulatory Recovery Fee, State Gross Receipts Surcharges, the 911 Service Fee, and a State Telecom Tax;
Energy: State tax surcharge;
Cable: Sales tax, FCC Regulatory Fee, Franchise Fee, and a 911 fee.
The Regulatory Recovery Fees paid on mobile phones, cable service, etc., is not a tax or government-mandated charge; rather, it is imposed by the service provider to defray regulatory costs such as state universal services, relay services, and certain state and local utility fees.
Whether our “U.S. Consumer Unit Expenditures” align with the Consumer Expenditure Survey calculations and regardless of what income tax bracket we are assigned, taxes in any form must be paid.
The first bite, taken from gross income, may be the worst, but the bleeding continues from all the other taxes and fees we pay.
And it isn’t about to change. Chumming for our ATDs continues. There are always more tax increases, universal service charges, fees, etc., on the horizon.
By the way, there is no such thing as an average U.S. tax bracket. Taxpayers pay the tax rate determined by gross income, minus the allowable deductions. Taxes are imposed mandatorily for individuals and range from 0-35% federally and 0-11% by the state.
If you don’t know there are penalties for not filing tax returns, filing late returns, and that certain “intentional” failings are subject to jail time, you’re either in big trouble or living in one of the countries with no extradition treaties with the U.S.
According to the Internal Revenue Service’s official boowah, bushwah, blah blah, “The failure-to-file penalty is calculated based on the time from the deadline of your tax return (including extensions) to the date you actually filed your tax return. The penalty is 5% for each month the tax return is late, up to a total maximum penalty of 25%. The percentage is the tax due as shown on the tax return. If your tax return is more than five months late, simply multiply your balance due by 25% to calculate your failure to file penalty.
“The failure-to-pay penalty is calculated based on the amount of tax you owe. The penalty is 0.5% for each month the tax is not paid in full. There is no maximum limit to the failure-to-pay penalty. The penalty is calculated from the original payment deadline (the original April 15th filing deadline) until the balance due is paid in full.
“Interest is calculated based on how much tax you owe. Interest rates change every three months. Currently, the IRS interest rate for underpayment of tax is 4% per year. The interest is calculated for each day your balance due is not paid in full.
“IRS interest rates are variable and are set quarterly” because “they” make the rules.
Taxing times and circumstances, indeed.

Here is a sampling of a few other taxes and fees we pay with ATDs:
Mobile phones: a Federal Universal Service Charge, Regulatory Recovery Fee, State Gross Receipts Surcharges, the 911 Service Fee, and a State Telecom Tax;
Energy: State tax surcharge;
Cable: Sales tax, FCC Regulatory Fee, Franchise Fee, and a 911 fee.
The Regulatory Recovery Fees paid on mobile phones, cable service, etc., is not a tax or government-mandated charge; rather, it is imposed by the service provider to defray regulatory costs such as state universal services, relay services, and certain state and local utility fees.
Whether our “U.S. Consumer Unit Expenditures” align with the Consumer Expenditure Survey calculations and regardless of what income tax bracket we are assigned, taxes in any form must be paid.
The first bite, taken from gross income, may be the worst, but the bleeding continues from all the other taxes and fees we pay.
And it isn’t about to change. Chumming for our ATDs continues. There are always more tax increases, universal service charges, fees, etc., on the horizon.
By the way, there is no such thing as an average U.S. tax bracket. Taxpayers pay the tax rate determined by gross income, minus the allowable deductions. Taxes are imposed mandatorily for individuals and range from 0-35% federally and 0-11% by the state.
If you don’t know there are penalties for not filing tax returns, filing late returns, and that certain “intentional” failings are subject to jail time, you’re either in big trouble or living in one of the countries with no extradition treaties with the U.S.
According to the Internal Revenue Service’s official boowah, bushwah, blah blah, “The failure-to-file penalty is calculated based on the time from the deadline of your tax return (including extensions) to the date you actually filed your tax return. The penalty is 5% for each month the tax return is late, up to a total maximum penalty of 25%. The percentage is the tax due as shown on the tax return. If your tax return is more than five months late, simply multiply your balance due by 25% to calculate your failure to file penalty.
“The failure-to-pay penalty is calculated based on the amount of tax you owe. The penalty is 0.5% for each month the tax is not paid in full. There is no maximum limit to the failure-to-pay penalty. The penalty is calculated from the original payment deadline (the original April 15th filing deadline) until the balance due is paid in full.
“Interest is calculated based on how much tax you owe. Interest rates change every three months. Currently, the IRS interest rate for underpayment of tax is 4% per year. The interest is calculated for each day your balance due is not paid in full.
“IRS interest rates are variable and are set quarterly” because “they” make the rules.
Taxing times and circumstances, indeed.

Cool Temperatures Can't Stop Weekly Business Visit
To contact us Click HERE
Despite cool temperatures representatives from Frederick County Government and members from the Business Development Advisory Council were hosted by Catoctin Breeze Vineyard for a busines visit. Sherman Coleman and Colby Ferguson, both from the Business Development and Retention Division of Frederick County Government were also guests of Mr. Voytek Fizyta.
The 24 acre vineyard has been in business for two years and was a dream of Mr. Fizyta when he arived in this country from Poland 31 years ago. Fizyta's grapes will be ready for harvesting later this year, but the Polish immigrant and electrical engineer has already made a variety of honey wines, traditionally known as Mead. The vineyard represents the ninth and newest Frederick County winery, and offers two table wines and three dessert wines.
When Fizyta and his wife Alicja, looked to relocate from Potomac five years ago they immediately fell in love with the hilly terrain in Thurmont which provided the perfect spot for growing grapes because of the soil. Perched along hilly terrain, grapes get ample sunlight at Catoctin Breeze Winery. The constant breeze evaporates moisture which is a major problem for East Coast grape growers.
The Fizytas outfitted their 1,200-square-foot basement to accommodate making wines. They expect their first significant harvest from the 2011 planting later this year. they are also planning to build a production facility on the premises in the near future. The business is licensed to sell wine directly to consumers and restaurants, using the company's website, www.catoctinbreeze.com

Permitting Fees at Last Year's Rates to Encourage Business Friendly Climate
To contact us Click HERE
FREDERICK, MD – Frederick County permitting fees were due to automatically increase as of July 1 by 3.2 percent to keep pace with inflation this year. But, with business-friendly goals of utmost concern to the Frederick Board of County Commissioners, the board recently chose to keep rates the same as last year.
The board also agreed to clarify fee schedule policies in the Community Development Division to provide clarity and consistency with other regulatory issues in the Department of Permits and Inspections. It establishes, eliminates and/or clarifies other fees for certain approvals that are a result of new or modified planning and development review approval processes and also incorporates comprehensive planning and zoning fees into the fee schedule to coincide with the division’s reorganization last year.
Key changes in the fee schedule include the clarification to the “agricultural buildings” definition to be consistent with the building code; establishing of a “minimum permit” fee instead of a “per square foot” charge, and elimination of the fire code revision fee charged for additional plan reviews. In addition, the board will exempt the county’s capital improvement program from payment of the fees in accordance with its strategic goal to “consider eliminating review fees for county capital projects.”
Board President Blaine Young commented, “We believe that holding the permitting fees at the same rate is good for business, and what is good for business is good for Frederick County. The decisions the board has made are part of our strategic goals to consider proposals to reduce, alter or eliminate rules and regulations to help improve county processes.
“We commend our employees for working diligently to help businesses more easily and efficiently navigate their way through the process. We welcome continued feedback from our citizens -- from the homeowner to the large business to the small business.”
At the beginning of their term in office, the Frederick Board of County Commissioners initiated a review of over 200 recommended changes to rules and regulations as part of their goal to improve the “business friendly” atmosphere in Frederick County, and have made good progress toward completion.
The items on the “business friendly action items” list were proposed after meetings with officials from the former Permitting and Development Review and Economic Development Divisions and members of the Frederick Chamber of Commerce, Frederick County Builders Association, commercial business representatives and many other stakeholders.
The changes coincide with the Board of County Commissioners’ proposed Strategic Plan goal of providing improved predictability for businesses. The goal states that “Frederick County needs to implement predictability in the business community in order to reduce inefficiencies, allow cost control, provide an effective process and increase understanding in daily business processes within Frederick County Government.”

Yesterday's Message to Staff at WMHS
To contact us Click HERE
At yesterday's Department Director meeting there were a series of presentations related to our current fiscal situation and our FY 2013 operating budget. Regarding our current state of the System, we are making great progress in improving the quality of care and improving the health of our population. A great deal of work will continue in both areas, but our early results are most promising. The area where we have fallen short is in the area of generating a cost saving through the improvement in quality and delivery of care. It takes a great deal of effort to virtually change the way you do business in any industry, but patient care is especially challenging as we have found out first hand. Would I change the direction of the organization away from a model based on the value of the care rather than the volume of the services provided, absolutely not! In fact, I am staking my career on the direction of health care continuing to reduce readmissions, greater focus on quality and safety, reducing utilization, caring for the patient in the most appropriate setting and the list goes on.
As I have blogged before, health care spending at its current level is unsustainable. It is my opinion that it doesn't matter what happens with the upcoming Supreme Court decision, even if the Affordable Care Act is overturned, the delivery of health care will continue to change in the direction which WMHS has embraced and that is consistent with our strategic plan.

Father's Day
To contact us Click HERE
I really don't want to sound judgmental, but yesterday's front page article in the Cumberland Times News on Father's Day was based on an interview with Martin Sheen. Advice on being a father from Martin Sheen, really? Advice on acting, great, but Martin Sheen as a role model for Father's Day, you couldn't aim even a little higher? Oh wait a minute, he and other son Emilio Estevez have written a father / son memoir entitled, "Along the Way" which would assume now classifies them as experts; weren't they estranged for many years? It wasn't that long ago that Martin Sheen was on the cover of the Sunday Parade magazine for Father's Day under the same mantra: "I may not have been the best father due to my career and never being there or my years of alcoholism, but it doesn't matter who you are, you are never going to get the ideal relationship. Whatever your kids choose to do is not a reflection of you."
Although they seem to be less and less, including Martin Sheen, there are other Father's Day role models to choose from starting with President Obama. Like him or not, he is a devoted father to his daughters. In this day and age, devoted fathers seem to be less and less the rule and more and more the exception. All the more that we should be promoting great Dads and wonderful role models on Father's Day rather poor or even marginal ones. Happy belated Father's Day to the many devoted, wonderful fathers out there.

Last night, I was in Pittsburgh at the Petersen Event Center on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh (by the way, my alma mater is celebrating its 225th anniversary this year) for the James Taylor concert. Wow, what a show. His first for his summer tour. At age 64, he still has it; actually he may be at his best. Wow! Also, my first for a concert.......floor seats, about 12 rows from the stage.
I will be leaving Pittsburgh this AM and heading to my New Jersey roots, actually to the Jersey Shore for a wedding and pretty much a family reunion. The Ronan Report may be on hiatus until Monday so, enjoy the weekend.
