I have eagerly been awaiting the release of Atlas Shrugged, Part 1 on April 15th. It is an interesting story about how this movie almost did not get made. I first found on IMDB that the movie had been years and years through a series of attempts to be made. However, Hollywood being Hollywood, it was apparently […]

“Tax Cuts for the Rich”. Leftists don’t care a whit about fairness or government revenue. This slogan is simply another means to grab power. If the left really cared about fairness, then they would see that the current situation in which 48% paying no taxes and the top 1% paying 40% of the taxes is […]

On Thursday, April 7, 2010 I attended and gave testimony at a hearing before the Finance Committee of the Minnesota House of Representatives. The purpose of the hearing was largely to obtain testimony of individuals on the bill, HF210 known as the “21st Century Voter ID” Bill. Naturally, this bill is strongly opposed by labor, […]

At first, I thought “hiding a birth certificate” is evidence of something wrong. Then I realized Obama keeps the opposition distracted by this ploy — a smart ploy to take attention away from the real issues, and just bog down and discredit opponents. Until Trump has come along and taken the bait! If Trump is […]

Here are my top 10 reasons to shut the government down: 10. The government is out of control and will stay so – shut it down! 9. The government is too big – shut it down! 8. The is a vast amount of government waste – shut it down! 7. There are many, many programs […]

The solution to an out-of-control situation is often to shut it down. The US Government is now completely out of control. In the words of Mike Pence, “time to pick a fight.” If not now, then only when the historic first failure of a T-Bill auction occurs? The big-spenders who argue about where between zero […]

The Democrats are “of the Unions, by the Unions, and for the Unions” and against the rest of us. The US House vote to pass the SOAR act 225 to 195 along nearly perfect party lines show the very clear split in American politics today. The SOAR act support school choice and extends the successful […]

I just told my Congressman that instead of my contemplated $100 increase to my campaign donation, I will scale it back to $1.60. In other words, he should adjust his budgetary aspirations by an insignificant amount. That is the scale of the proposed $61 billion cut to Obama’s  43.69 trillion budget. Insignificant. If the GOP does […]

Collective bargaining? That is an oxymoron. There is nothing in it that is collective, and nothing that is bargaining. First of all, what is collective bargaining? Traditionally it is a process where representatives of the workers (the “collective”) bargain against their “adversaries” — management. The old “labor” verses “management” bargaining table comes to mind. Where […]

When public sector labor unions bargain with the government, both sides sit on the same side of the table. The taxpayer side of the table is empty. Why not give representation on that side of the table to the taxpayers? And who better than as the representative of the taxpayers than a properly nominated delegation […]
