Unemployment Insurance (UI) is a payroll tax, pure and simple. Just like everything in this category, the people who pay the tax in the end receive very little value for what they pay and it does not even resemble any product that could legally be marketed as insurance by anybody outside of government. The typical American worker labors between 40… Read more →
…neither is any other Republican. The antics of the GOP over the last little while have finally drove me out of my bunker – I have to say something. Why the hell would any freedom loving individual vote for these losers! Even Rand Paul, who now says that Edward Snowden, one of the greatest freedom fighters of our time, should… Read more →
All of you who voted for Obama and by association, ObamaCare: I hope that you are happy that you probably wrecked the cheapest, best care in the world. You know, there is a reason why people from all over the world USED to travel to the US for treatment. Now they go elsewhere. ObamaCare is further proof that as soon… Read more →
When will we realize that it is government and not the free market that is causing this economic crisis? We have to stop limping along like this and just unleash the free market. Of course, we won’t and this sorry ship will just run aground, just like Detroit. Detroit is eligible to shed billions in debt in the largest public… Read more →

The title of this post is a quote attributed to George Orwell. I am often reminded of this quote in my daily conversations with others due to the fact that nearly every one of these conversations seems to trail off in to the realm of politics. It is my opinion that this is a sign of the times. We currently… Read more →
Somewhat agree – although IMHO success for Obama would be the implementation of a full-on Canadian style health care system in the US, where all doctors work for the state. The ObamaCare screwups are purpose-built in order to eventually usher in a new, better (in their minds) system. Think of this this way: the more Obama wrecks the current health… Read more →
“When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” Thomas Jefferson Dissecting U.S. Elections – the People vs. the Pols The establishment has an entrenched interest in convincing the public that their vote in elections actually decides who is selected for public office. That same power elite runs and controls both… Read more →
You’d think that with a movement as popular and vibrant as the liberty movement, there would at least be a sense of clarity over who is a part of it. But you’d think wrong. It’s not unusual for the very definition of libertarianism to be confused, obfuscated or even argued over. Semantic turf wars over the term have littered comment… Read more →
DC Council voted 10-0 (in a 13 seat council) for the Washington Redskins to change their name. May I suggest the Maryland Redskins? Perhaps even the Landover Redskins? Even the Virginia Redskins would be more fitting, since their headquarters and practice complexes are there. They have not had a presence in DC at any time in the 21st century. Steve… Read more →
