The unions want us to pay for their healthcare. “The AFL-CIO approved a resolution saying that President Obama’s health care overhaul will drive up the costs of union-sponsored health plans to the point that workers and employers are forced to abandon them.” I’m suspicious of any union attack of a

If you ant to destroy prosperity, feed the sin of envy. The rich often get a bum rap. Liberals are incensed when it’s suggested that “the rich” get any type of tax reduction even though the top 50% of wage earners pay 96% of all income taxes. Since they spend

If you are a business owner or work for a “gay friendly” company and you speak out against same-sex sex, there’s a good chance that your business will be harassed or as a prospective employee you might not get hired. Consider these stories. You recall the attack on Chick-Fil-A because

Fast food workers across the United States went on strike to protest minimum wage pay. They want their salaries doubled to $15 per hour — twice the federal minimum wage rate. If the $15-wage-rate goes into effect, business will drop off and layoffs will take place. Some of the people

Martin Luther King III said the following at the 50th anniversary of his father’s “I Have a Dream” Speech: “However, sadly, the tears of Trayvon Martin’s mother and father remind us that, far too frequently, the color of one’s skin remains a license to profile, to arrest and to even

Allied bombings couldn’t wipe out Germans, but there’s good reason to believe that Germans may wipe out themselves. Germans aren’t having enough children to sustain its population. Germans are underperforming in the fertility department. Germany’s “birth dearth” is creating real and unforeseen problems: “At first glance, this town in central

President Obama did an interview last month where he attacked “Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for their lifestyle and what they represent to the youth of America.” Here’s some of what the president said: “Were there things that all of us might have liked to have? Sure. But partly, I

I was watching Alec Guinness (1914–2000) (Obi-Wan Kenobi for those who are not familiar with classic movie actors who starred in classic films) and Rosalind Russell in the 1961 film A Majority of One, when George Takei appeared on screen. George Takei, better known as the original USS Enterprise helmsman

Beware what you wish for. Young voters were ecstatic when Barack Obama came on the political scene. He was vetted by the media as a political messiah that would united the world with his soothing words, erase all racial conflict, and bring peace where peace was once unattainable. Their hopes

President Obama has come out again against the Keystone XL pipeline. “Republicans have said that this would be a big jobs generator,” Obama said. “There is no evidence that that’s true. The most realistic estimates are this might create maybe 2,000 jobs during the construction of the pipeline, which might

How many times have we heard stories about the poor needing more money and calls for additional wealth distribution? I saw one article that tried to apply the biblical Jubilee laws to modern-day economics to accomplish this. This would mean all landed property would return to its original owners in

Like so much of what goes in Washington, lawmakers believe that passing a law overrules reality. The latest attempt to subvert economic law is the approval of “a bill requiring some large retailers to pay their employees a 50 percent premium over the city’s minimum wage, a day after Wal-Mart warned

“Look up in the sky! It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No. It’s a Superman comic book found behind a wall.” Pre-World War II ten-cent comic books can be worth a lot of money, especially if they are key issues of Batman (Detective Comics No. 27 and Batman No. 1)

My wife and I visited the Reagan Library yesterday. It was a great experience reliving the events of Reagan’s life from sports announcer on WHO radio, actor playing George Gipp in the film Knute Rockne: All American (1940), and his entry in politics as the president of the Screen Actors

Pope Francis has received numerous accolades from the faithful. One area where Pope Francis gets poor marks is in economics. It’s hard to take economic advice from someone who has taken a vow of poverty, never owned a business, and lives off the donations of people who have not taken

We keep hearing about “lone wolf” terrorists. We heard the same thing about agents at the IRS working on their own against conservative groups. In both cases, the operatives were acting in terms of an ideology from what they heard from their ideological leaders. In his speech the other day

When You get a letter from the IRS demanding documents to justify exemptions and income, you better comply by the date specified . . . or else. IRS officials have refused to turn over documents that could shed some light on alleged illegal activity by the agency. Here are at

Let me be clear. I do not believe that President Obama will be impeached. He will never admit that he has done anything wrong. If there is any wrong-doing, others will take the blame (or be forced to take the blame). The media will only go so far in attacking
