A Taste of Their Own Medicine – Tax Unions

    Since President Obama has said ‘everyone needs to have skin in the game,’ we should take him at his word.  The Democrats plan to tax corporation at a higher rate and limit loopholes that allow businesses to protect some of their assets offshore, it would only seem fair that we begin looker for other revenue streams as well.  There are many revenue sources that have, | Read More »

    Who is the Radical?

    The narrative being formed in the Democratic mainstream media is that the GOP and those opposing his majesty are becoming radicalized.  They are touting extremely generalized notions and plastering the loyal opposition as racists.  The reason they are doing this is because they have been so radicalized themselves, they see any difference of opinion as so far to the right.  In other words, the socialists | Read More »

    Obama’s ‘Kumbaya’ Diplomacy

    Once, our foreign policy was decried as ‘gunboat’ diplomacy when we used the threat of force and presence of military personnel as a lever to create change.  Liberals far and wide lambasted this technique as provocative and counterproductive.  It was also argued that such tactics were inherently immoral and should not be used as they would sully the good name of the United States.  Well, | Read More »

    Calling Out the Brownshirts, I Mean Obaminations

    The TelePrompTer has reportedly asked the American people, through Obama, to get out there and persuade their fellow citizens to support the new budget.  I don’t think this is their cleverest idea.  These Obaminations are not the brightest bulbs on the tree and may actually prompt people to pay attention, realize the danger of this spending spree, and call against the action.  I would love | Read More »

    A Power Differential

    An unfortunate series of events have landed us in hot water as of late.  We have a socialist president, an even more socialist Congress, and an American electorate that appears, on the surface, complacent.  It seems the public has capitulated on the idea of an informed and engaged American politic.  We are acting as if a duly elected group of representatives sent to Washington by | Read More »

    When Ignorance Governs the Polity

    “The question is who can we exhibit revenge against?” said Ariely, a professor of behavioral economics at Duke University. “How can you get revenge on a system? It’s just not something we’re used to. It’s just not something we’re designed to do. Institutions are relatively recent inventions in our history and we’re not designed to feel revenge against institutions. Individuals, yes.” “I’m thinking of it | Read More »

    Rise and Shine America – Regressive Tax Alert

    “Under a cap and trade system, the government would auction off permits to emit greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. The auctions would raise almost $650 billion over the next decade, with the cost passed on to consumers as higher energy prices.”  Andrew Taylor – AP We need to shake the country and arouse it from its slumber after too much Obama Koolaid.  This disaster | Read More »

    The Artful Tax Dodger’s AIG Involvement

    “In March 2008, he arranged the rescue and sale of Bear Stearns.  In the same year, he is believed to have played a pivotal role in both the decision to bail out AIG as well as the government decision not to save Lehman Brothers from bankruptcy.” While this is a Wikipedia reference, it is well documented that as the director of the New York Fed, he was deeply | Read More »

    Obama’s First Sixty Days – More of the Same

    So far we have a president who has promised hope and change using several different methods to do so.  He promised a new wave of bipartisanship, a more ethical administration, no more lobbyists, more transparency, no earmarks, a better relationship with our allies, an open hand to our enemies, and a hand out to small business.  What do we have so far? We have a | Read More »
