There is no doubt that income inequality is a huge and growing problem in the USA. The middle class is absolutely critical to our country’s success and the wages for Middle American have been falling for over a decade. I could reel off stat after stat that proves the point, but there needs to be […]
The latest war America is involved in, is at Yemen. Of course, it’s a classic case of the Sunnis fighting the Shiites, which no one will admit to, because if it were admitted that it is none of our business, Gee!, think of the damage to the arms and ammo industry. I hope they’re still […]
There will ALWAYS be winners and losers. As much as the liberals would love to be able to wish it away, there will always be the underachiever and the achiever. As much as the government would like us to believe their efforts will level the playing field, there is only so much that can be […]
The latest outrage by the Al Sharpton groupies, is for mass demonstrations and violence, protesting cops shooting blacks. It all began when an 18 year old husky black guy, (Brown), who had just completed robbing a convenience store, tried to take a gun from a police officer in his car, causing injuries to the policeman, […]
Highway paving and repair, is a process which is done by towns, counties, states, and even the federal government. We all drive on the results.

I’d be willing to bet that if you are reading this, and you’re not already retired, you are actually paying income taxes. That’s right, one of the 53% of the nation who’s actually paying into the treasury rather than draining it further (we’re now $18.2 trillion in debt with no end in sight). For those […]
(My son David is taking up the column writing, but I still have ideas and feel they must be preserved, so I will write them and place them in the archives. If you stumble upon them, fine, but I want my thoughts preserved. – Don Stott) The news is full of the terrible threats that […]
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could predict the benefit of government programs (I know that is an oxymoron) with almost 100% certainty? Wouldn’t that just make all of this insane political nonsense completely irrelevant? Can you just hear a politician saying, ?We’ve used scientific data and sophisticated modeling and determined that more government spending […]
Since joining Colorado Gold in 2007, I’ve written a few columns in this space, but this is the first since my dad retired last month. For those of you who haven’t read it, see the March 1, 2012 column entitled “Health Care Sans Government” to understand my thoughts about Obamacare and a much better alternative… […]
