THE “MUSICAL CHAIRS” OF INFLATION

Site Editor — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 08:36:33 +0000

If you were taking an economics class and had a test question asking, “What happens when a business’s cost of goods goes up?” The correct answer on a test written by a professor would be that the cost gets passed to the customer. In theory, that is correct, but any small business owner will tell a very different story. Inflation comes in waves, with a lag effect. Every node in a supply chain hesitates to …

REGULATED ECONOMIES

Site Editor — Sat, 06 Jan 2024 01:15:05 +0000

“Any law that makes it legal for the government to do what would be a crime for an individual to do should be stricken from the books”. “The real cost of the State is the prosperity we do not see, the jobs that don’t exist, the technologies to which we do not have access, the businesses that do not come into existence, the the bright future that is stolen from us. The State has looted …

THE POACHERS OF FREEDOM

Site Editor — Sat, 23 Dec 2023 00:01:38 +0000

The debt we owe for being born into a prosperous and free country is to preserve that environment for those yet to come. Freedom must always be protected and preserved, just as any natural resource requires preservation and protection. One generation that selfishly consumes more of a resource than can be replenished denies future generations of that resource. At times, entire generations may prohibit using a resource to allow that resource to replenish so future …

SUNSETS ON ALL LEGISLATION

Our lives, our liberty, and our property are never in greater danger than when Congress is in session. -Mark Twain Every time Congress is in session, they create more laws. The very nature of this means every year, we have more regulations. Each additional law establishes a need for more administration and enforcement. Every year, the government grows, as does the …

URBAN / RURAL REPRESENTATION

Site Editor — Sat, 27 May 2023 18:21:17 +0000

This nation was founded as a Constitutional republic with democratic elections. It is not a pure democracy because pure democracy is tribalistic. The American Constitution was designed to produce a country that is not tribalistic. The founders set out to create a legal system whereby all citizens have equal representation under the law. No other government had established such a system, making America the “exception to the rule,” hence the term “American Exceptionalism.” In a …

STARTUP CLASS BUSINESSES

America attracted many of the brightest and strongest people from around the world. It did so by offering the opportunity to better their lives through merit and effort. They came to change their future by finding something they could provide society and then bringing it to market. They didn’t need wealth, just an idea, a few nickels, and sweat equity. All these people needed was to scrape together a few nickels to build their first …

POLITICAL CORRECTNES AS NON-CONSTITUTIONAL LAW

Site Editor — Tue, 16 May 2023 00:24:26 +0000

Our nation was created as a constitutional republic with democratic elections. It is not a “Democracy” like the Marxist liberals contend. Pure democracy is nothing but mob rule. Such a society will always devolve into tribalism, whereby one group rules over another. The ruling class can act with impunity, while the subjugated class will be punished for any transgression (real or perceived) against a ruling class member. Before the creation of the United States Constitution, all countries …

ACCOUNTABILITY REFORM FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES

Site Editor — Sun, 14 May 2023 19:51:33 +0000

Since freedom requires a government that is afraid of the people, government employees should fear repercussions if they fail in their duty. Any government employee should know they face dishonorable discharge in case of a breach of trust or failure through corruption or incompetence. Should a government employee (whether elected or hired) be dishonorably discharged for incompetence, corruption, or betrayal of the public trust, they should lose all and any retirement accounts and never receive …

WHY CALLS FOR GUN CONTROL FALL ON DEAF EARS

Site Editor — Wed, 10 May 2023 16:52:18 +0000

There is a simple reason why Democrats have no credibility when calling for gun control. It can be boiled down to a simple truth. When Democrats don’t get what they want (regardless of the law), they call for violence in the streets. The nation saw the Democrat riots of 2020. Before the riots, Democrat leaders “dog whistled” to their base about how they expect “violence in the streets” if Derek Chauvin is acquitted of murder …

REGULATION AS AN ANTI-TRUST ISSUE

Shannon G — Wed, 10 May 2023 02:05:03 +0000

Life, liberty, and property are the foundation of Western law. Frederic Bastiat wrote extensively about how the law exists because of rights, rights don’t exist because of law. Because rights are violated by immoral actors, we create laws to lay out the recourse due to the victim and punishments for the violator. Our constitution, in its original form, was designed to protect life, liberty, and property but has been perverted to empower government over the …
