Tea Party is missing out

The Tea Party should galvanize its large grass roots membership to get on local boards, commissions, districts, and councils. The left has a 40-year head start, and thus school boards and city councils are dominated by them. We need to take them back! Plus, the left has a gigantic “farm system” for promoting viable candidates. […]

Why not $100 minimum wage?

If $10.10 is good for the minimum wage, why not $11.00? Or $15.00, $25.00 or even $100.00? All the arguments that apply to an increase to $10.10 also apply to any higher level.

Why shootings at schools and theaters? Don’t they know they are gun-free zones?

School, movie theater shootings not the problem — just that the criminals are too dumb to know that they are gun-free zones.

No more hostages. Declare the Middle […]

Want Income Equality? Fix the lottery.

The most worst example of income inequality is the lottery. Why don’t those who want income equality fix that one? Look at how unfair the lottery is! Millions play, but only one wins.
