Gender-Equity Cops Want to Favor Women Over Men in the Sciences

National Journal Magazine:  “Women now claim more than 57 percent of all bachelor’s degrees, 61 percent of all master’s degrees, and half of all professional and doctoral degrees, according to Education Department data cited by University of Michigan economist Mark Perry and others. They also earn more Ph.D.s than men in the humanities, education, health sciences, and social sciences, in-cluding two-thirds of new psychology doctorates. . . . But advocates of this disparity-proves-discrimination dogma apply it quite selectively. They have shown virtually no concern about the small and shrinking percentages of males in colleges generally and in most academic fields.  Instead, the interest — self-interest, in many cases — of the gender-equity cops is in pushing for spending programs, hiring goals, and other preferential treatment for women and girls over men and boys in hard sciences, engineering, and math.”

2010 Federal Income Tax Rates

About.com:  “The United States imposes tax on income using progressive rates. That means that a person’s tax liabilities gradually increases as income increases. There are currently six tax brackets, ranging from ten percent to thirty five percent. These six tax brackets are scheduled to expire, along with other tax reforms signed into law under President G.W. Bush, at the end of the year 2010. President Obama has signaled his desire to increase the top two tax brackets, effectively increasing the tax burden on higher income persons.”

My WashingtonExaminer.com column today

[called “Captain Crunch is an enemy of the state”] picks up where my Townhall.com column last week left off –pointing to the “guidance” from the Food and Drug Administration issued last week that warned all food manufacturers in America that big brother was watching their “front of package” branding and was ready to pursue penalties against any packaging claims that the FDA found not only false or misleading but also lacking in nutritional soundness.  Some of America’s biggest names in the food business took quick note of the threat and suspended one campaign designed to brand their products as a “Smart Choice” for consumers.  Just like that, millions of dollars of marketing effort went poof.
