None dare call it a tax

“You lie!”
The left’s statist agenda cannot be implemented without lies. A significant percentage of Americans may be willing to elect liberals based on their personalities, appearance and a general perception that they are “cool”, but ther...
Rationing “based on the individual’s ability to pay”
In America, do we ration Coca Cola? How about pizza? Tires? I have never seen a rationing card for any of these products. In fact, diamond rings are available in just about each and every mall in America. If you want to buy a Coke, all you hav...
A Red-Ink Train Wreck

Destroying the American Dream
Many, if not most, of people who become wealthy do so with a single big payoff. Maybe they made a single big deal. Maybe they get a big payoff for an idea. Maybe they won the lotto. Many of the people who make a million dollars do it during a si...
What’s a few hundred billion among friends?
Nancy Pelosi has told us over and over that her health care monstrosity would cost of $894 billion over a decade for coverage. We knew that was horseshit. Now others are detecting the reek wafting off her claim. The health care bill headed for a v...
Pretending what is unseen doesn’t exist
In a comment on James’ post below, I mentioned Frédéric Bastiat (pronounced bast-ya) and his essay, That Which is Seen and Unseen. Bastiat is the the source of the broken window fallacy we have talked about here several times. It is instr...
“We are socialists and we are here to help.”
Frankly, I don’t know it this is even newsworthy. It is was as predictable as the sun rise and was pretty much preordained when Chavez nationalized the oil industry in Venezuela. Still, it is always worth it to have another look at the destr...
