I'm going to quote directly from a dictionary definition of "Populist." "Any person, politician or political leader, who claims to represent the interests, views, or tastes of the common people, particularly as distinct from those of the rich and powerful." Right now, in Britain, the 'rich and powerful' are flabbergasted that the commoners voted to […]
I'm going to quote directly from a Wall Street Journal article from Friday, June 17, 2016, the first two paragraphs. That should scare you out of your wits, as it has me. Here goes. "Special agents at the IRS equipped with AR-15 military-style rifles? Health and Human Services "Special Office of Inspector General Agents" being […]
I'm going to ignore Orlnaldo and the Muslims this week. Part of pages 66, 67, and 68, not from "I Hold These Truths," which are virtually gone. (34 at last count, and I will not re-print them,) but from a book I wrote in 1998, titled "Consequences," which I am re-reading, possibly to submit to […]
Taxes Too High? I often think so, and compared to days of yore, they are. But consider Denmark. Denmark has high taxes? You bet! Consider the following and count yourself lucky. Denmark has a minimum income tax of 40%, plus a sales tax of 25%. That's 65%. Wow! you may say, but that's not all. […]
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 […]
