Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist made an excellent recommendation as to how best to oppose the old school crony government pork known as “earmarks” – which was district-specific spending, benefiting that district’s Congressman. Getting riled up at that Congressman was a waste of time. He was the vote-buying beneficiary of the government money.…
The late Supreme Court Chief Justice (amongst many other impressive gigs) John Marshall rightly noted “The power to tax – is the power to destroy.” The power to OverTax, of course – will destroy even more. We have in our nation established a very anti-human nature approach to government. We punish things of which we…
There’s an old joke. About a little boy standing in the entrance of a huge barn – clearly filled to the rafters with manure. The boy has a shovel in hand – and loudly proclaims “There has to be a pony in here somewhere.” The Left – is this little boy. And their little boy…
How we power our nation should be, like everything else, as free market as possible. May the most effective, cheapest energy sources win. No government intervention or imposition. That means no subsidies or regulations playing favorites – picking losers at the expense of winners and warping and distorting how we choose. Because market forces lead…
The late, inordinately great Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister of Great Britain (the last time Britain was Great) – and a towering historical figure. She possessed the spinal strength of ten Mr. Olympias. When once conversing with…lesser fortitude-possessing United States Republican President George H.W. Bush, Thatcher famously uttered “Remember George, this is no time to…
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo appears to loathe actual energy. You know, oil, gas, coal, etc. The sources of energy that actually produce energy – cheaply and efficiently. And instead has an incredible affinity for fake energy. You know – wind, solar, ethanol, etc. The alleged “green energy” – which is neither green nor energy. …
The Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus was the “Greatest Show on Earth.” From 1919 – until this year, when Leftists radicals culminated a years-long assault on the Circus by successfully shutting it down. Global warming – ooops, I mean climate change – is the Greatest Scam on Earth. A now decades-long push by the…
When the government insists on “helping” the private sector – this sort of stupidity is what you get. The very famous Ronald Reagan line is: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” He wasn’t even a little incorrect. The lather-rinse-repeat cycle is always…
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has led a years-long Don Quixote-esque political persecution of ExxonMobil. An ongoing, rolling abuse of his power as the Empire State’s chief lawyer – and a gross dereliction of that office’s actual duties. Schneiderman is engaged in all of this ideological obnoxiousness – because he believes in the myth…
When politicians are over-reaching, micro-managing busybodies, they are over-reaching, micro-managing busybodies on…everything. Not a sparrow falls from the sky without a Leftist politician – who had been regulating its flight – imposing the death tax upon its grounded corpse. When government is so huge – nothing is too small to escape its attention. It’s as…
