Taxpayer Bill Of Rights

With the elections looming it is time to frame the debate.
I’ll be emailing this Bill of Rights to all running for office and asking them to take the pledge, the results will be posted and have a special link on this website. Including all those who did not respond.
Clearly our Government is badly mis-managing our […]

Obama’s Willful Disregard Of The Facts Or Poor Command Of Economics

Manufacturing employment did hit a peak and then begin a steady decline. The problem is that the peak was in 1979, 15 years before NAFTA came into force.
The long-term decline of American manufacturing jobs has much more to do with technological change than with trade. We’re producing more stuff with fewer workers.
But is there any […]

Katrina, Wal-Mart CEO: Above All Do The Right Thing.

The First Thing Many People Saw After Katrina, Was A Wal-Mart Truck. Biggest problem faced by Wal-Mart truckers driving past the remains of Katrina to the hardest hit areas, our Government, FEMA.
“A lot of you are going to have to make decisions above your level,” was Scott’s message to his people. “Make the […]

Obama: A 28% Tax Would Not Be Confiscatory

Who was the last Presidential candidate to talk about how much they were going to raise taxes prior to the election? Was it Dukakis? Or was it Mondale? Or was it McGovern?
We know it’ll be Barack Obama.
The current tax rate on Capital Gains is 15%, Barack feels this is too low. In […]

Airbus, Alabama, Boeing, and McCain and Pratt

The Airbus/Boeing competition has had some interesting turns. The original proposal was for Boeing to lease planes to the Air Force and apparently there was some illegal activity during the bidding process, enough illegal activity that Federal Prison time was served.
McCain prides himself in the role he played blocking an earlier version of […]

Obama’s Economic Plans Are Protectionist, Naive And Dangerous To Our Children’s Economic Future

Flush with manifest destiny Obama has been fleshing out his rhetoric and it’s surprising old. More suited to the 1970’s his flavor of protectionism reads like an old union flyer passed around while Detroit workers sledgehammer a Toyota for the TV cameras.
This version of change has been roundly discredited and offers no hope.
What profit […]

Calvin Coolidge On Freedom And Taxes

This 1924 movie taken on the White House lawn is the first “talkie” of a President. The topic is how the government through taxes saps the strength and will of it’s people and denies their right of freedom. Interesting.
First a quote from Calvin’s Secretary Andrew Mellon:
The history of taxation shows that taxes […]

The Hand Grenade In The Democrats Living Room

OH the irony of it.
Who would have thought that the candidacies of an African American and a Woman would create the perfect storm within the Democrat Party?
The loyal foot soldiers (the feminist organizations) who carried the water for so many years, now realize it’s still not “their time”. And African Americans whose votes have […]

Funny Thing About Recessions

First thing Washington wants to do is give us our money back. If this is such great advice in a recession, think about how good advice it would be when we are not in a recession!
However they are arguing on how to give the money back, seems some Americans would not get a dime […]

The Big Lie of 2008, Change Will Happen

Clearly the theme of this election cycle is change. A year ago I would have said security. But the American people want change, at least that is what our candidates keep telling us. We need change and they can deliver it.
I doubt it. First none of them are talking about the […]
