  • Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

    Ronald Reagan

    ---

    When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence.

    Gary Lloyd

    ---

    We have a system that increasingly taxes and subsidizes nonwork.

    Milton Friedman

    ---

    The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money

    Alexis de Tocqueville

    ---

    Those of us who manage the public dollars will be held to account to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day, because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and our government.

    Barack Hussein Obama, 1/20/09

    My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.

    Barack Hussein Obama

    “And the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history”

    Nancy Pelosi, Election Night 2006

Obamacare-interview with Betsy McCaughey

Putting out the truth of Obamacare. Be afraid; be VERY afraid…

List of Tax Burdens

Our friends at Free Republic have a thread going that documents all the various taxes we pay.
Talk about multiple taxation.  They tax our income, then with what’s left over, when we make purchases, they tax those things too.  The Fair Tax would solve that problem.  But I don’t see that happening with all of the [...]

Tombstone Of The USA

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the Presidential election:

Number of States won
by: Democrats: 19    Republicans: 29

Square miles of land won

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won

The future as predicted 50 years ago

This is truly prophetic!

Some people still don’t get it

My 16 year old son is interested in current events, but he often asks me for my analysis of what is happening.
Today, he mentioned that he read that some on the left attribute the “Tea Parties” to racism. That is, the “right wingers” are prejudiced, and are protesting just because President Obama is black [...]

Random Cogitations 4/1/09

Bush left 8 years in office with a record $400 Billion deficit, but in only 2 months in office, B. Hussein is on track to QUADRUPLE that. Keep in mind that while the President puts forth his wishes, and ultimately signs any spending bills into law, it’s the CONGRESS that first gets it’s grubby little [...]

I’m a new shareholder in AIG

I received an email this evening from one of my US Senators, Robert Casey. Here is a portion of the text:
Dear Friends, It is difficult to quantify the outrage that taxpayers – AIG’s new shareholders – have regarding the bonuses paid to AIG executives. I have included my thoughts in a video statement [...]

Little Red Hen – Obama Style

“Who will help me plant my wheat?” asked the little red hen.
“Not  I,” said the cow.
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Not I,” said the pig.
“Not  I,” said the goose.
“Then I will do it by  myself,” She planted her crop, and the wheat grew and  ripened.

“Who will help me reap my wheat?” asked  the little red hen.
“Not [...]

April Fool’s Tax Cut

Don’t go planning on spending that “tax cut” that’s been promised to begin on April 1. 
In what is perhaps the very first April Fool’s joke by the US Government, the tax cut announced by B. Hussein is anything BUT a tax cut. 
You see, Obama announced that he has ordered employers to cut taxes taken from workers’ [...]

Random Cogitations 2/22/09

It continues to appear that Tea Party USA is gaining momentum; the sleeping giant is awakening, and BOY IS HE PISSED!
Public schools have failed miserably in educating students on economics. This is clearly evident when listening to people discuss the current economic situation. On C-SPAN this morning, I heard a caller lamenting how he has such high [...]
