Jerry Brown Demonstrates Democrat Tax Policy

Posted on June 30, 2011 by Dave Blount

Rather than take responsible steps toward climbing out of the hole it has dug itself into, California chose to return Governor Moonbeam to office. His response to the government-caused economic crisis demonstrates Democrat economics in a nutshell: Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into law California’s tax on Internet sales through affiliate advertising which will immediately […]

Demagogue In Chief Slams Corp. Jets After Spending Stimulus Money on Them?

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

In his Wednesday presser on the state of the economy President Obama several times attacked those evil rich folks flying about in corporate jets saying that the filthy rich could “afford” higher taxes. But while he spent so much time slamming corporate jets today, back in 2009 the president was pushing a stimulus bill that […]

New Open Government and Spending Transparency Reforms Introduced

Posted on June 18, 2011June 15, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

While the Obama administration plays its games with “czars,” more “boards,” and “committees” to implement government accountability policies, Representative Darrell Issa (R, Calif.) has introduced some measures that would do a far better job to meet those goals. President Obama has touted a “Government Accountability and Transparency Board” (GATB) as well as the Recovery Accountability […]

Illinois So Broke They Want to Sell Ads on License Plates

Posted on June 17, 2011June 15, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

You know things are bad when governments start selling things they “own.” The latest is the state of Illinois so over spent and in a budgetary hole that authorities are floating the idea of selling advertising space on its auto license plates. The Democrat led general assembly has given the Secretary of State’s office a […]

Urge Congress to Vote ‘NO’ On Striking $$ Saving Section From Federal Construction Projects Bill

Posted on June 13, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Today there may be a vote on striking a section of H.R. 2055 that will insure that federal construction projects for the military are fairly priced and will save money for the taxpayers. Some representatives want this advantageous section struck out and replaced with a union-favoring provision that will cost the tax payers millions and […]

Obama’s New EPA Rules Would Destroy Our Energy Sector

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Half of America’s energy comes from coal-fired power plants but Obama’s new EPA rules would about destroy the coal industry driving our energy costs through the roof. That’s not all they would do, either. Even Paul Bedard of USNews says that Obama’s new EPA rules will “slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of […]

Democrats Fall Back To Their Default Position During Debt Fight

Posted on June 10, 2011June 10, 2011 by William Teach

Said default position is to raise taxes As the clock ticks on raising the nation’s debt ceiling to avoid a catastrophic default, Vice President Biden met with Republican negotiators on Thursday in another closed-door meeting that only showed how far apart both sides remained. In the 2 1/2-hour meeting, the sixth one between the administration […]

Big Government Decrees Data Collectors in All New Cars

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Dave Blount

As you might recall, our rulers have been scheming to tax us for each mile we drive, in order to defray the cost of their never-ending frivolous spending, to save the polar bears from the imaginary global warming menace, to keep their boot on the neck of the struggling economy, and most importantly, to limit […]

Obama and the Coming World Tax Organization

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Dave Blount

At least when government metastasizes out of control in liberal states like California, people can escape bankruptcy by leaving for freer states that won’t crush them with taxes. This gets harder when grotesquely excessive government is imposed at the federal level. It will get harder still if Comrade Obama and his coconspirators at the Organization […]

Employee Levels Fall But New York’s Fringe Benefits and Pensions Costs Soar

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Pensions are the single biggest problem that every state, county and city in the Union face and New York City is no different. It is so bad that even as New York City has seen the numbers of its government employees fall, its costs in fringe benefits and pensions have still continued to soar. (Download […]

U.S. University Giving Award to Anti-American, Terror Supporting Al-Jazeera TV

Posted on May 9, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Columbia University announced last week that its Graduate School of Journalism is awarding its highest award to America’s enemies, Al-Jazeera TV. The university is awarding Al-Jazeera with its journalism award for the Arab-centric mid eastern “news” it has produced. Al-Jazeera is apparently being recognized for “singular journalism in the public interest.” “Al Jazeera English has […]

Taxing by the Mile

Posted on May 6, 2011 by Dave Blount

The primary purpose of federal taxes is not to raise revenue. If it were, the Laffer Curve dictates that rates be lowered, as Reagan and JFK illustrated. Since Big Government prints all the money it wants, essentially taxing us through inflation, the only point of direction taxation is to exert control. That’s why the Obama […]

GM Exec: Reporting GM’s Failures Hurts… Republicans?

Posted on May 5, 2011May 4, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

In an odd turn of events, former GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz thinks that anyone that criticizes GM is not only “mis-informed” but insists that those “foaming ideologues” that criticize the car giant are “damaging the Republican Party.” It is interesting that an executive in the company derided as “Government Motors” is trying to direct […]

Federalist Papers Identified How Democrats Would Destroy Us

Posted on May 2, 2011May 1, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Our fourth president, James Madison, has been called the father of the Constitution for not inconsiderable reasons. Madison was highly educated, widely read, and well thought of. He was also a prescient man. Madison was so prescient that in February of 1788 he was able to describe the precise reasons why his beloved Republic would […]

The Biggest Legalized Theft of Middle Class American Wealth

Posted on April 27, 2011 by Rachel Alexander

Almost no one is talking about the most serious financial catastrophe taking place in the U.S. today. Instead everyone is focused on reigning in Congressional spending, particularly in areas like entitlements and Obamacare. But there is a part of government that flies under the radar, unaccountably increasing our debt to far more dangerous levels. It […]

Paradox: Green-Loving Washington State About to Penalize Electric Car Owners

Posted on April 26, 2011April 26, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Some people think that marriage is the most absurd institution ever invented by man. But those that think so are ignoring what is truly the most idiotic, paradoxically absurd practice in all of human history: government. Yeah, yeah, necessary evil and all, but still there is nothing that exemplifies human folly better than politics and […]

Rep. Peter Roskam on the Ryan Budget Plan: Obama’s Lack of Leadership Gives GOP a Leading Issue

Posted on April 22, 2011April 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

No one but the worst sycophant thinks that President Obama’s latest stab at a federal budget is a serious plan. In fact, that he’s come before the American people again with a second budget plan itself bespeaks of a president badly floundering on the issue. This has left the Republican Party, and more specifically the […]

Greenpeace Admits Coal Power a Job Creator

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Recently the enviro-centric group Greenpeace issued an extensive report scolding the “dirty” energy choices made by tech giants like Apple, Google, and Facebook. Greenpeace is all exercised over the fact that many of these companies have moved to North Carolina to take advantage of the coal-produced energy there because the costs are cheaper than the […]

Three Economic Charts That Will BLOW YOUR MIND

Posted on April 22, 2011December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

First off, here’s a breakdown of who pays into personal income taxes. Look at those numbers and SMELL the unfairness. So, the top 10% of income earners pay 69.9% of the income tax while the bottom 50% of Americans pay 2.7%. Now, if we were actually going to make the tax code more “fair,” who […]

VIDEO: Vile Disgusting Leftists and More New Civility: ‘I Wipe My A** With the American Flag’

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The Blaze posted a video (notice how I gave attribution there, Mr. Beck?) that was shot at a Portland, Oregon Tea Party rally at which a gaggle of lefties came out to organize a counter protest. Like always, the lefties were vile, low-born, scum-bags in how they comported themselves and they gave us just one […]

The Super Rich: Should We Hate Them Or Be Thanking Them?

Posted on April 18, 2011April 18, 2011 by John Hawkins

Over at Yahoo, they’ve done a piece on the super rich that has a rather arbitrary negative slant to it. Sadly, that has become far too common of late. It’s called, Super rich see federal taxes drop dramatically. The Internal Revenue Service tracks the tax returns with the 400 highest adjusted gross incomes each year. […]

San Francisco discovers free enterprise

Posted on April 14, 2011 by Bookworm

San Francisco is definitely up in the top five when it comes to “most Progressively governed cities in America.” No surprise, then, that the city’s finances are in a shambles. What is a surprise is the fact that, faced with a looming budget collapse, the City has suddenly discovered capitalist incentives: it’s offering the big […]

Saying Paying Taxes Is Patriotic Is Evidence That You’re Unpatriotic

Posted on April 14, 2011April 14, 2011 by John Hawkins

Because most Americans have a high opinion of patriotism and most liberals aren’t patriotic, liberals keep trying to come up with new definitions of patriotism that have nothing to do with loving your country. Case in point… One group of millionaires, however, is saying that they are more than willing to pay more for the […]

Obama’s Deficit Speech To Be About Sharing The Pain Democrats Created?

Posted on April 13, 2011 by William Teach

This should be an interesting day, as Champ sets out his “vision” for reducing the deficit President Barack Obama will describe his plans for long-term deficit reduction Wednesday, in a move likely to kick off a months-long debate with Republicans while alienating some members of his own Democratic Party. In a midday speech in Washington, […]

Surprise! Obama’s Deficit “Plan” Will Include Tax Increases

Posted on April 11, 2011 by William Teach

Of course, it appears as if his plan is more of a draft, well, really, a rough outline….OK, more of some talking points scribbled on a cocktail napkin from a campaign event: Obama Puts Taxes on Table President Barack Obama will lay out his plan for reducing the nation’s deficit Wednesday, belatedly entering a fight […]

Top Worst State Budgets: Unions Have Put EVERY State’s Budget In The Hole

Posted on April 5, 2011April 5, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

When you or I overspend our family budget and end up not being able to pay our bills a few things happen, all of them bad. At best we do without luxury items, at worst a bank comes and takes our cars away, our homes away, or, worse yet, we go hungry. When government unions […]

Wisconsin Union’s Boycott Likely Illegal

Posted on April 1, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Government union members of AFSCME Council 24 are circulating letters to local businesses in southeast Wisconsin threatening them that if they don’t come to immediate and vocal support of government unions the businesses will be targeted for attack. The union says it won’t be satisfied with statements of neutrality, either. An AFSCME spokesman told the […]

Mich. Teachers Assoc. Features Photo of Gov. Snyder as Devil on Facebook Page

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The Mackinac Center for Public Policy has a devil of a story. It appears that the Michigan Education Association was hosting a photo of Michigan Governor Rick Snyder replete with bloodspatters and occult symbols making the governor out to be the devil. (See image below) The Mackinac Center alerted the MEA about the offensive image […]

Government Motors: The Coming General Motors Failure Will Be At Taxpayer’s Expense

Posted on March 24, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

The Obama Administration has proclaimed TARP and the subsequent bailout for General Motors a great success. US Treasury Deputy Timothy Massad recently said, “Where we are today shows that the program, by any reasonably objective measure, was a success.” But is GM, now much derided as “Government Motors” the success that Obama says it is?
