Do corporations pay taxes? Of course not! Who pays them? You and I pay them, just like we pay income taxes, sales taxes, and all of the 200 plus taxes we pay either directly or indirectly. Think about it. If Ford Motor Corporation pays a 35% corporate tax, that tax is added to your […]
Ethanol (alcohol), mixed with gasoline, is utterly stupid, uneconomical, and costly. It is one of those habits created by the greenies, and absorbed by the rest of the typically ignorant legislatures. It is now, universally thought to be the salvation of our air. All totally wrong. Ethanol is derived from plants, through a fairly […]
A recent article in the Christian Science Monitor, pointed out that various European governments are seizing individual savings and retirement accounts, and placing the confiscated money into government accounts, to help pay the debts which politicians created. Is there nothing safe? If you are in things dealing with currencies, and stored in government regulated […]
I call Walmarts “China Marts” because everything they sell, seems to be made in China. It wasn’t always that way. When Walmart founder, Sam Walton lived, (1918-1992), he bought American. I have a first edition of a book titled simply “Sam Walton.” (Dutton 1990). I am going to quote from parts of a few […]
We are asked or told, constantly it seems: ’Why should I buy gold or silver? I can’t spend it at the grocery store or gas station?’ Of course you can’t, and neither can you spend stocks, bonds, or CDs at the super market or gas station, hardware store, or Walmart. You need dollars. We […]

She was afraid that the money for them, which she thought benefitted her state, may be cut with the 85 new members of the House, soon […]
“Tis the season to be jolly.” So, will I bemoan the failed Republican votes in the historic lame duck session? Will I say that the bad Republican votes were contrary to voter’s wishes? Absolutely not, even though it is true. Will I say that Jesus wasn’t born on Christmas, and that .the wise men […]
Failed Amendment? In our Constitution? I think so. Consider Section One of the 20th: “The Terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the third day of January…” The time between electing a new Congress, […]
You want our votes mister Senator? Without our votes, you can’t possibly be elected, you know. Want us to vote for you, Mr. House member? Without our votes, you can’t possibly win, and we all know how much you love being in D.C. with that fancy office, free medical care, postage, secretarial and research […]
I’ll tell you what these numbers mean, and why the Democrats simply are so dense that they can’t get a handle on them. The first is that the top 2% of income taxpayers, spend 33% of the money. Now think about that one. They don’t have to hire anyone, or run a business. They […]
