Libertarian Party: Income Tax Anniversary Oct. 3 Is Another Day That Will Live In Infamy
National Libertarian Party News:
Oct. 3 is the anniversary of the costliest law ever enacted upon American taxpayers. On that day in 1913, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Revenue Act of 1913, the first post–Civil War income tax. Once constitutional objections to an income tax were eliminated by the 16th Amendment, Congress wasted little time in passing one. The tax started out at 1–2 percent for most middle-income people and topped out at 7 percent for inflation-adjusted incomes of $11,010,700.
“What’s interesting is that the income tax was passed in conjunction with a lowering of tariffs Read More

Local Transit Is An Integral Part Of Our Community
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ, Chair
There are many things that a local government provides to its citizens. Parks, roads, and public schools all come to mind, but in my opinion, public transit is one of the most appreciated services that our local government in Los Alamos provides to our community.
Specifically, the Los Alamos Atomic City Transit (ATC) system has really brought parts of the community here together like no other system has done before. Los Alamos County consists of two geographically separated communities: the town site and White Read More
Letter To The Editor: Elizabeth Allen Will Take Municipal Court To The Next Level
We have the opportunity to take our Municipal Court to the next level by electing Elizabeth Allen.
She has years of experience as a trial attorney for both plaintiffs and defendants. Elizabeth has had the opportunity to argue in front of more than 20 judges to observe both good and bad judicial practice.
Experience is normally a good thing but sitting on the same bench for many years can lead judges to an “I’ve seen this before” mindset, which can yield faulty decisions.
Elizabeth has worked with children with disabilities, child protection services, Read More
Letter To The Editor: Why I Endorse James Rickman
I am voting for Jim Rickman to be our next Magistrate Judge. I strongly urge you to do the same.
In New Mexico, magistrate judges are only required to have a high school degree or equivalent, unless the judicial district has 200,000 people or more. We need a judge with more than the minimal requirements to provide a more effective, equitable, evidence-based experience for plaintiffs, defendants, and victims and to improve the poor reputation of our magistrate court for ignorance of legal requirements and procedures.
I have known and worked with Jim Rickman for years. Read More
