The plain simple truth is at times I read articles that set me fuming. Not because the article is not well written or that it does not indeed support itself in a convincing or articulate manner. Rather I get upset when people have a caviliar attitude toward taxation and the repercussions it has on people. I . . . → Read More: Response to “Taxing the Rich : Its All Relative”

The plain simple truth about the new Republican congress is that there is no way to ‘pay’ for the George Bush tax cuts. This is true for a couple of reasons.

The plain simple truth is whenever a law is enacted it means a loss of freedom. Laws are meant to constrain, bind, and enforce.

<sigh> The plain simple truth is this was a HORRIBLE set of laws. People who defend it defend what they think it is going to do, not what it does. The concept seems noble and pure, it will make it so everyone is entitled to insurance. What it really does is tax people in order to . . . → Read More: Obamacare

<sigh> The plain simple truth is that this is… well that this… you know what. I don’t even know where to start.

The plain simple truth is that most of the response that Government makes to crisis is dumb. For instance, 9-11 occurred, if terrorists attempted to hijack another plane what would every single person on that plane be thinking? Do you honestly think they could ever do more then blow a plane up any longer? Yet we have spent billions upon billions . . . → Read More: Why does the Government Always Seem to Respond to Crisis?

The plain simple truth about the laws of the land on a Federal level is that we can now see the hypocrisy. Attack the immigration law in Arizona because it interferes with ‘Federal’ Law but leave a state that creates a safe haven for an illegal drug alone.

The pot calling the tea kettle, forgive the phrase, ‘black’. That is correct the NAACP has decided that the Tea Parties are racist.
Here is the interesting thing, while it is predominantly white, I have met blacks, Asians, Hispanics and others who are concerned about the economic liability and feeling of helplessness before a government that seems . . . → Read More: NAACP Calls Tea Party ‘Racists’

How can Government fix the economy? How can it? What can government do to give people jobs? If it gives more money to the unemployed then they will wait for jobs to come to them. Create temporary construction jobs for a while with public work projects? Oh, it will keep money in circulation but remember the . . . → Read More: Question about how the Government can fix the Economy
