POPS The Great Corporate Tax Heist Not surprisingly, the income collected from corporations has been declining as a percentage of gross domestic product, with the burden transferred to your income and payroll taxes. According to a study by the Treasury Department, from 2000-2006, an average of 2.2 percent of GDP was collected in corporate taxes. This compares to an average of 3.4 percent in other industrial countries. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects that, under current law, corporate revenues will decline to 1.9 percent of GDP by 2017. But the GAO study confirms what we already knew: Whatever the nominal tax rate, U.S. corporations pay an effective rate among the lowest in the industrial world.

POPS"Barbie Bandits" Sentenced Initial reaction to this slap on the wrist: boy, Ashley and Heather sure are lucky that they''re white and female. I almost fell out of my chair when I read this. NO WAY would two young black males get the same leniency. What do other clippers think?

POPSGod save us from the Croc! "And why this global expansion? Because Crocs are fast becoming one of the most successful fashion brands of all time. Sales in John Lewis stores alone have gone up 270 per cent in a week. Twenty million pairs have been sold in 12 months. And now the Wall Street analyst Piper Jaffray is predicting sales will more than double from £178 million in 2006 to £408 million this year".

POPSBollywood: The only place Mike Tyson has left to go? There is a deep and dark part of me that is very curious about this. I presume that this career move comes because his last job I heard of, as the unlikely official American good-will ambassador to Cuba, didn't work out? Actually, in a class on South East Asian art I saw a video of a Balinese Shaddow-Puppet theater production that featured a Balinese likeness Mike Tyson as a Godzilla-esque monster who attacked and devoured airplanes as well as fighting, and eventually being defeated by heroes from the Ramayana. Whatever can be said of the man, his life has been F***ing Surreal!

POPS Tyson dances to Bollywood music in Las Vegas "He was courteous and friendly on the sets and spoke to everyone from the assistants to the production guys with ease." The music video was shot over a two-day period with nearly 100 American performers
