Watch and learn…

This should be required watching. While I don’t agree with many of the solutions proposed, because they ALL imply a more powerful Federal government with much higher taxes.

I think that the filmmakers outline the problem crystal clearly. But, they miss the boat that solutions FROM the Federal government will die in committee. We do not have the discipline to do this. If one thing is clear from our history:  without force, our government cannot and will not change, no matter how good they sound on paper (or film).

The Founders understood this clearly. They constructed our government in such ..read more

CLICK HERE for an excellent interview on the Charlie Rose show with David Einhorn, a very successful hedge fund manager who made substantial profit by understanding market distortions.

He outlines a point that most people do not understand:  the unseen or unanticipated effects of attempts to regulate the complex markets in the world. His main point is that the market is a rough and tumble place and that laws and regulations provide false “cover.” People are lulled into NOT doing their homework and make mistakes, some of them enormous, based on this moral ..read more

Read THIS ARTICLE which outlines how the State of Texas is struggling with the concept of Federal coercion. The coercive method used involves the Federal government taking money out of a State via taxation and then sending money back to the State in the form of Federal “grants” but attaching many conditions to it that typically involve other unrelated items that the Feds want done.

And at the same time, our Attorney General is planning to sue Arizona for attempting to enforce immigration laws that the Fed Govt won’t. CLICK HERE.

Have we landed in bizzaro land? I’m in full support of open immigration, but make it the law of the land. When the Government openly and flagrantly ignores the law, what does that tell you about their respect for ..read more

I have watched with some degree of disdain (but not surprise) that the Liberals are attempting to assassinate Dr. Rand Paul, the runaway winner of the Kentucky Republican Senate Primary. He has been dragged through the Liberal media’s mud for his strong and consistent libertarian views. Specifically, they are attempting to corner him on his statements that Federal Law should not be used to bind private associations, private contracts, and private property–or else we give up our concept of private property altogether. They are attempting to get him to say that he supports repeal of the 1964 Civil Rights ..read more
