A bit over 100 years ago, the "Income Tax Amendment" to our Constitution was implemented, although not legally ratified by the correct number of states. I have several books about that subject, and there is no Constitutional doubt, but that the Amendment was never legally ratified. Various courts, including the Supreme, have said it is […]
A bit over 50 years ago, the do gooders in Washington D.C. passed the law which outlawed segregation. This law resulted in tens of billions of dollars to be spent on school busses and their drivers, fuel, insurance, etc to bus white kids to black schools, and the reverse. It caused more tens of billions […]
The America I love, wants several basic things. They're simple, and America has wanted them for many decades, both under Republican and Democrat rules and Congressional majorities. They're things so basic and understandable, that it would be difficult for anyone to disagree with these wants and desires. First, like every single household, America wants to […]
The following is a total quote from an editorial in the May 7th Wall Street Journal. The Journal is a great newspaper! I doubt that I could do without it. It isn't cheap. About $450 a year, but it is easy to spend two hours on each issue and then barely cover it The Journal […]
Donald Trump has big problems with red China, and I can't blame him. Trump says China manipulates its currency, which they do, and that they contribute to North Korea so extensively, that North Korea would undoubtedly fail totally without them. North Korea is a threat to the free world with their atomic bombs and rockets. […]
Bernie Sanders is advocating free college for everyone, and I am certain he would raise taxes to pay for it. Socialists everywhere, including Bernie and Hillary, are always ready to raise taxes to pay for handouts from government. Ever think of what handouts do for the recipients? Take public housing as an example. Who lives […]
The following is a direct quote from part of a column from April 19th Wall Street Journal. "Big company shares are getting more expensive, even as their prospects dim, and the bond market suggests that clouds are gathering over the economy. All the main valuation tools now show stocks are expensive, compared with history. The […]
The greatest war in American history, was World War Two (WWII). Most readers of this screed, will not possibly remember it. I was but seven when it started, but I do remember it, and have been fascinated about it ever since. 362,000 Americans lost their lives, and millions were injured. When I see an ancient […]
The general opinion is that the manufacturers, factories, and of course jobs, have all gone overseas because the Chinese work for peanuts and Bangladesh shirt makers work for maybe cracker crumbs. At any rate, Trump is going to bring them all back to America. Don't get me wrong, I love Donald Trump and have his bumper […]
The Minimum Wage In many states currently, the local legislature has raised the minimum wages to $10, $12, and even $15 per hour. The US minimum wage is (I think) $7.25 or thereabouts. Minimum wage laws are simply legislated unemployment. At a few McDonalds restaurants, automation has already set in. A customer walks up to […]
