Oofdah!

I cringe whenever I have to go to the Post Office. I am insulted by the slovenly performance, obvious laziness, and likely union featherbedding of the place. It drives me nuts. Instead of as in the local Costco, where procedures are tuned for efficiency and workers are humming away with high productivity and positive attitudes, […]

Obama comes out strongly in favor of holding the line on the debt ceiling … in 2006. He said: The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign […]

Seems we are about to see the complete sell out of the Conservative movement all across the board, as all “Republicans” show their true RINO colors, led by Murkowski, who we now see has no allegiance to anybody but herself, and certainly no obligation to the GOP. I personally am “fit to be tied” and […]

I just heard a defense against strong action against potential “honor killers” because a “crime has not yet been committed.” Well and good. But what about the Arizona anti-illegal (immigration) law, which was criticized by the Left because “it might lead to racial profiling?” I remember that the defense of the law on the basis […]

Now the Internet “needs fixing”, regardless of whether it is broken. Typical. Just another “problem” to justify expansion of government. But the Internet “might” be broken”. Just like “the Arizona immigration law might lead to racial profiling.” And once the camel gets its nose under the tent of Internet Service providers, you can bet they […]

If you say “the rich don’t pay their fair share,” you should really say “the tax burden on the rich is not increasing fast enough.” Not only do the top income earners pay most of the taxes, their share of the tax burden has grown over the years. The following statistics are from the IRS: […]

Is the economy a zero sum game? Does the success of one person only come at the expense of another? It is manifestly obvious that when someone creates wealth by creating some new business, that does not deprive another person of their wealth. By freely exchanging, both sides of the exchange are better off and […]

When you don’t have strong protection of private property, as in many less developed countries, you have poverty. John Stossel makes this case very clearly in his recent post: Why Do the Poor Stay Poor? He quotes Hernando de Soto, president of the Institute for Liberty and Democracy in Peru, who said in part that […]

It is critical that the Republicans present an alternative bill at the same time as they attempt to repeal Obamacare. It is not enough to say “repeal it in toto – worry about a replacement later.” By not having an immediate replacement bill, the Republicans will be accused of being the “party of no”, and […]

When asked how much of the tax burden the rich should pay Al Sharpton once said “15%”. When informed that the rich already pay over 50%, he quickly changed the subject. I have been trying to find a video clip of that interview, which I remember seeing fairly recently, to confirm that I got the […]
