Drudge had this story titled right: Tax Now: Cut Later And we all go: [Note to those who do not get it: the girls = tax and spenders; cops = the fiscally responsible. Neither have anything to do with Party affiliation or even ideology.]
Cuba is changing their social contract: Most Cubans have not paid taxes for half a century, but that will change under a new code starting January 1. The landmark regulations will change the relations of Cubans with their government and are a signal that market-oriented reforms, launched since President Raul Castro succeeded his brother, Fidel…
While the questions swirl around U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice about why she misled the American public and the rest of the World as to the attack on the Benghazi Consulate, there are still some other important questions that still have yet to be answered.
As the Obama supporters routinely take pleasure in telling us, we lost. As I survey the political landscape, I’m afraid that the election of 2012 signals that we lost more than just an election, we have lost the cultural battle that has been raging in America for the past 50 years. Politics follow culture. The political will…
In light of news reports that Guantanamo Bay may be closed with its occupants slated to be brought inside the borders of the USA, it is important to understand the POTENTIAL Definition of TERRORIST. We now have official acceptance of a “Presidential Kill List” and indefinite DETENTION of terrorists “accepted” by OUR federal Government. The…
I have not forgotten my 4 fellow Americans who died because Obama decided to commit high treason, have you? Benghazi explained: Interview with an “Intelligence Insider” This is part one of a multi-part interview with a government insider intimately familiar with the events that took place in Benghazi. In this part, he provides important background,…
I have a question for ALL of you — especially those of us who regularly comment on the RNL: If WE — the supposed “adults” of the world — cannot stay on topic when discussing a post/issue, then how — or better yet — WHY would we ever expect the reason-challenged members of the Dewey-indoctrinated…
…people won’t work. Via Zerohedge and Powerline and excerpted from the data presented by Gary D. Alexander, Secretary of Public Welfare, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: Exactly two years ago, some of the more politically biased progressive media outlets (who are quite adept at creating and taking down their own strawmen arguments, if not quite as adept at using…
A simple question: How is it that the people who believe we can tax the rich to solve our greed do not understand the obvious lesson in this story? Two-thirds of millionaires left Britain to avoid 50p tax rate The ultimate outcome is simple:If we keep taxing him to the point of death, Atlas will…
This is Frédéric Bastiat’s complete essay, “Government”. Bastiat is not widely discussed outside certain circles but in my opinion is one of the most under-appreciated philosophical giants. I read much of Bastiat’s translated works in college as part of progressing my economics degree and had forgotten this essay until I ran across his quote that I excerpted in…
Call me a sadistic SOB, but I ran across this on the web and laughed my ass off. A little over 6 minutes, but if you’re a practical joker. . . . . From the Brazilian television show, Programa Silvia Santos
Sometimes you just need something to lift your spirits. Need something to remind us that we’re all in this would together. That kindness, respect and love are still out there for all to see. Enjoy.
As we wander through the landscape of the post-election dystopia searching for answers to our Republican defeat, it seems that there aren’t enough fingers to point. Romney this, Ryan that, liberal/conservative, in a bubble, outside the beltway, need a big tent, too moderate, too conservative, ORCA failed, Obama promised free stuff, Hispanics, blacks, Asians, cities, counties and…
I have been criticized for pointing out that our nation is paralleling the events of 1920’s – 1930’s Germany, and that we are setting up the conditions by which someone could seize power I have been told this could never happen in the United States. When I see this: Egypt’s Morsi stands by decree I…
I have a post coming on statolatry but I ran across this in my research last night and given augger’s Jamie Foxx post, it seemed timely to promote it. I wanted to write something similar but when I tried I kept saying exactly the same thing in far less elegant and efficient prose. One can’t improve upon perfection. May…
Don’t you know that the Twinkie died because of bad management, not union intransigence? Michael Hiltzik writes in the LA Times: Let’s get a few things clear. Hostess didn’t fail for any of the reasons you’ve been fed. It didn’t fail because Americans demanded more healthful food than its Twinkies and Ho-Hos snack cakes. It…
The “great” Egyptian President Morsi has just finished brokering his “cease-fire” between the terrorist group Hamas and the Israelis and then he assumes the role as a modern Pharaoh. Good stuff right… I mean you can’t make this stuff up and sell it to Hollywierd producers.
Wish I had written this when I thought about it the other day but Professor Reynolds beat me to it: You know the story: While the provinces starve, the Capital City lives it up, its wheeler-dealer bigshots growing fat on the tribute extracted from the rest of the country. We don’t live in The Hunger Games yet,…
