Meaningless Security Theater Officials Continues to Harass Americans Critical of Meaningless Security Theater
The TSA is a colossal government-spending boondoggle that’s not keeping us safe. Here’s another example of how they harass journalists that criticize their useless shenanigans. Traveling to New York to appear on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, Jones had already showed his ID as he approached the metal detector. Jones and colleague Rob Dew noticed that a [...]
Good News! Americans Will Work More than 6 Months this Year to Feed Leviathan
I expect that this date will get later in the year before it gets earlier – IF it ever gets earlier. This year, Americans have to work until July 15 to pay for the burden of government, more than six months. In a new report, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) has calculated that Americans will [...]
Through Rose-Colored Glasses: “The Private Sector is Doing Fine” – It’s Leviathan That We Need to Grow
Can he really be that detached from reality? We’ve had 8+% unemployment for over three years, and business are reluctant to hire new workers because of the uncertainty about tax hikes and out-of-control regulatory agencies. Fear not, knuckle-draggers and little people; the Anointed One says all is well, and it’s really the GOVERNMENT that needs [...]
Ted Nugent is Right: The Regulatory Beast is Rampaging Out of Control
In an editorial in the Washington Times, rock ‘n roller and Secret Service target Ted Nugent argues that our elected officials have gone overboard with their zeal to regulate every aspect of our lives. Always done with the best of intentions, and to protect stupid people from themselves, regulatory bloat is squashing liberty: you can’t [...]
Glenn Morton’s Got the Right Reason to Run for Congress: “I Don’t Exist to Serve the State!”
This guy is running for Congress in Maryland, against Steny Hoyer. Here’s a quote from his website, and it’s right on the money: “Obamacare is the greatest threat to our freedom and way of life,” says Mr. Morton. “It will harm the African-American community the most, and benefit dominant insurance companies in every state in [...]
An Excellent Argument for Abolishing the EPA
Mike McDaniel writes at Pajamas Media about how the EPA wastes your tax dollars. On a regular basis, the Environmental Protection Agency gives grants to environmentalist groups, and encourages them to sue – the EPA. The purpose is to have the courts bring into being regulations that the EPA wants to impose, but isn’t authorized [...]
Just ONE of the Reasons Why ObamaCare is Bad Legislation: 6 Pages of Law Become 1,000 Pages of Regulations
Update: The original article has been revised to show that only 492 pages of regulations were created. Yay – that makes me feel a lot better. Yes, you read that right. When Leviathan’s chains are lengthened by the insidious creep of poorly constructed (and unread) laws, its usurpations grow exponentially. Such is the case with [...]
The Dismal Science and Me: 4 – Public Works Mean Taxes
Last time we reviewed Hazlitt’s discourse on the “blessings” of destruction, and used as a modern-day (and all too recent) example the “Cash for Clunkers” program. Used cars were traded in for taxpayer-subsidized rebates on the purchase of new cars. The ostensible rationale given for the program was “to stimulate” the automobile industry in America [...]
Who Got Stimulated?
Curious about who benefited from the porkulus bill, from a job-creation standpoint? Here ya go.
It would seem, someplace, that there’s some overhead.
This is actually the full version of the excerpt I posted earlier. Except for the exact figures, names, and cultural references, this speech by Ronald Reagan in 1964 could have been given last week. The intrusions and transgressions of the leviathan federal government are exponentially larger. The ideas of the progressives haven’t changed all that [...]
