Maybe when they see that, they will help slow the growth of the federal tax system. In Ill where there is close to a 10% tax on the high income, they get over 30% back on the federal bill so they are back down to the More]]> http://www.graverstvo.com/opinion-on-review-outlook-the-heartland-tax-rebellion/feed/ 0 http://www.graverstvo.com/criticism-on-business-schools-plan-leap-into-data/ http://www.graverstvo.com/criticism-on-business-schools-plan-leap-into-data/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:32:03 +0000 admin http://www.graverstvo.com/criticism-on-business-schools-plan-leap-into-data/ Agreed, getting a computer to run calculations is nothing new in this day and age. It is the interpretation and conclusions you can draw from your analysis that is the valuable skill. As many people above have pointed out, managers often make decisions without data. But this is because they don't have numbers that represent the way they think about the More]]> http://www.graverstvo.com/criticism-on-business-schools-plan-leap-into-data/feed/ 0 http://www.graverstvo.com/a-commentary-on-why-are-women/ http://www.graverstvo.com/a-commentary-on-why-are-women/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:30:52 +0000 admin http://www.graverstvo.com/a-commentary-on-why-are-women/ See Nicole you are answering with an emotional resilience reaction to an inflammatory comment, trying to entice an equally emotional reaction from me. Exactly confirming my initial conclusion. However, I...being a rational male can separate the emotion from your reply and actually agree that your comment has verifiable merit.

Clearly this is a template for EPA's similarly politicized leadership to commit more of Academia's theoretical theatrics against More]]> http://www.graverstvo.com/analysis-on-robert-m.-mcdowell-the-fccs-threat-to-internet-freedom/feed/ 0 http://www.graverstvo.com/my-view-on-senate-fails-to-delay-new-debit/ http://www.graverstvo.com/my-view-on-senate-fails-to-delay-new-debit/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:29:43 +0000 admin http://www.graverstvo.com/my-view-on-senate-fails-to-delay-new-debit/ How about just using credit damage cards again? Almost anyone who takes debit cards takes credit cards. I've always seen debit cards as a good deal for the banks (and possibly for those with poor credit), not necessarily a great development for the customer who is credit worthy in the first place. If a bank starts to charge me for using a debit card, More]]> http://www.graverstvo.com/my-view-on-senate-fails-to-delay-new-debit/feed/ 0 http://www.graverstvo.com/analysis-on-the-leiter-side-of-union-thuggery/ http://www.graverstvo.com/analysis-on-the-leiter-side-of-union-thuggery/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:23:09 +0000 admin http://www.graverstvo.com/analysis-on-the-leiter-side-of-union-thuggery/ I think that President Obama would be well advised to direct his anti-emotional bullying efforts at unions and leave the school bullying issue where it belongs, with the States and local Boards of Education. What these unions are doing is bullying in its ugliest form. Today, Obama said 80% of the nation's schools are failing.

Or are you making a broader point about women & minorities in general? Is skill, experience, and goal setting activities-setting exclusive to white men? You're hispanic; I'm a woman.

That's their plan. Statists cannot abide individuals; statists cannot abide variables. Statists must therefore SIMPLIFY. By definition of an alcoholic celebration of individuals is 180 degrees opposite their requirement of simplification.

Instead we're telling kids that the most important things are: 1) stupid celebrities who make sex tapes and then go on to make lots of money to buy the things they want 2) sports, because a 1 in 10 More]]> http://www.graverstvo.com/views-on-states-fail-to-raise-bar-in-reading-math-tests/feed/ 0
