I will sell you my wonderful product at half price! But first I have to tell you that on January 1 of next year we are doubling all our prices. But because of our “half price sale,” you will just have to pay the same as the current price. Isn’t this a great deal that […]

In a strange turn, my company places a help-wanted ad, but nobody responds! It used to be we always had candidates for positions. I have talked to other small business owners and recruiters and they are sharing the same experience. It is hard to find workers now. Nobody is interested in working. It is like paying […]

Here’s an idea: why don’t we set it up so that the rich pay more for everything. For example, 10 pounds of potatoes could sell on a sliding scale from $1 up to $10 depending upon your income. This idea could be extended to everything. A new car could go for $10,000 up to $100,000 […]

Why do conservatives continually cede ground to the progressives on the subject of taxes and tax “cuts?” In George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four there was the political technique called “doublespeak“, which was used to deliberately distort and reverse the meanings of words. As in Communist dictatorships, the “place of torture” might be called the “palace of […]

Looks like politics as usual with Obama trying to get his jobless aid into the tax cut bill. Just like an earmark. I think that we will never truly reform the way this country is governed until we get rid of the process of having multiple unrelated items connected into one bill. One alternative could […]

Things that would increase government control over Americans: Ignore the continued operation of Wikileaks because it is a matter of free speech, yet rail against all Conservative champions of free speech Having relatively open borders because the extra Democrat votes so gained aids the left in consolidating control Giving US criminal protections, Miranda rights and […]

Democrat definition of bipartisan­ship: “Do it our way.” The televised “health care summit” made this blatantly obvious, as has every other mention of the term in every context. When Obama had control of both house, every “bipartisa­n” effort on his part meant “my way.” And “let’s compromise­” meant “do it my way. You don’t have […]

Obama is so totally incompetent, bumbling, weak and ineffective, that it is now time to call for his impeachment. In 1970 Gerald R. Ford defined the criteria for impeachment: “an impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.” This President is so […]

By the standards of the American working class, public sector union members are “wealthy.” I am going to call them the “union-wealthy.” The union-wealthy are those that have a secure job, with at least double the compensation and benefits beyond comprehension. What is is now, that such public sector employees earn an average of $150,000 […]

In today’s Huffington Post, RJ Eskow shows his ignorance of how economics works. He still thinks that the government creates jobs. Our welfare state has created a situation where some are “pulling the wagon” and some are “riding in the wagon.” Any increase to wealth redistribution is simply putting more people in the wagon with […]
