Continue readingAre the wheels coming off the bus, or are we witnessing the most brilliant, and dangerous, political theater in our life times? Here’s what it looked like a few days ago: the President caved on maintaining the current tax rate, leaving Republicans triumphant. In exchange, it seemed as if the
Continue readingTwo interesting things rolled across my desk today, interesting because they address the same topic — dependence on Big Government — but reach diametrically opposite conclusions. The first is a Dennis Prager column that examines why American conservatives are happier than American liberals. This isn’t just Dennis’ opinion, by the
Continue readingI blogged earlier this week about the fact that San Francisco, which is broke, was trying to find $137 million so that the feds would provide it with almost $1 billion dollars in funds to build a 1.7 mile subway tunnel. Federal money, of course, is your money. This is
Continue readingMany of us view the IRS with a certain amount of suspicion. Being fair-minded people, we know that all societies need some mechanism to collect revenue to pay for basic government services (with the fault lying with Congress if those revenue demands are excessive).

Think about it. As Pat Sajak wrote yesterday, withholding is bad enough, because it deprives the worker of
Continue readingAmericans, if you still think elections don’t count, and that all that’s needed in the White House is a metrosexual beloved by the New York media, think again. We are all going to be very deeply affected by the changes coming down the pike this January. Higher taxes, hidden taxes,
Continue readingOne of the things that I try to understand is the Great Divide between today’s Liberals and conservatives that has left us talking past one another on policy issues. Frankly, I have concluded that discussion with Liberals is often futile because we attribute different meanings to words and concepts. One

Admittedly, the
