Many liberals claim that Bush’s tax cut went primarily to the wealthy. Tavares Forby, a good friend of mine who runs blackpundit.com, created an easy to read graph detailing the before and after tax brackets to show how this tax cut was implemented. He writes,
Many liberals claim that the Bush tax cut only benefits the […]

The Economist comments on the current poverty line report just released, it writes,
Whatever crude logic it possessed at the time, the Orshansky poverty line is by now quite arbitrary. Its originator calculated the cost of meeting a family’s nutritional needs and then multiplied this figure by three, because families in the early 1960s spent about […]

Economist Don Boudreaux has two very informative blogs.
The first one deals with prices and how they are the true equalizer. In direct contradiction to those who use the poor as an excuse for price controls. He writes,
Any practical, realistic method apart from rationing by price hikes will involve arbitrariness at least as great (I think […]

Colorodo is currently deciding on whether to split its electoral votes to be distributed as a proportion of the voters vote, instead of winner takes all, like is currently the case.
Personally, I think it’s a bad idea. Especially, for the small states. Here is a good article explaining why.
Update: Other arguments to be […]

I am the first member of my family born in the United States. Most of my family comes from a small town in Guerrero, Mexico. This area of Mexico is extremely poor. The farm that my father grew up on doesn’t even have hot water or very much electricity.
Needless to say, this has […]

If you asked the average person on the street how the Economy was doing, what do you think his response would be? Probably negatively. Economists call this a late indicator, meaning that by the time the average joe on the street changes his perception of the economy, it is because the economy has already been […]

You will constantly hear the media and Kerry claim that nobody from the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth served on Kerry’s patrol boat during the war. That all the people who served with Kerry endorse him, and these Vietnam Vets running ads against him are people that weren’t with him in combat. That is a […]

One of the arguments against social programs like welfare is that whenever government steps in, the private sector steps out. And since everybody knows that the private sector is much more efficient than the government, you are left with an overall net loss for the people in need.
That is why it is so great […]

The greater lesson to be learned in this election, with all the 527’s (named after the part of the tax code under which they operate) attacking each candidate, is that all those people that supported the Mc Cain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform have egg on their face(including GWB for not vetoing it!). As predicted […]

The Washington Times writes,
“John Kerry’s own wartime journal is raising questions about whether he deserved the first of three Purple Hearts, which permitted him to go home after 4½ months of combat. “
That would make it 2-0, Swift Boat Vets.
You would think by now that the Swift Boat Vets For Truth would have earned […]

John Kerry has been trying desperately to prohibit the public from getting a hold of the book, The New Soldier, that he wrote right after coming back from the Vietnam war.
However, due to the miracles of the internet, a copy of the book can be found online. Enjoy.

I have blogged on here before about how the elite left is still obsessed with Karl Marx and thinks he should be given another chance. This fact is even more mind boggling when you consider that economically speaking Karl Marx is seen as a complete failure. A simple basic economics course will dispel any hope […]

As I have posted on this blog before, The Swift Boat Vets against Kerry have already caught Kerry in at least one lie; the claim that he was in Cambodia on Christmas of 1968.
Joshua Muravchik, writing in the Washington Post explains why that lie is so significant, he writes,
After his discharge, Kerry […]

Young Americans are pushing their own generation to the political right of their parents. The article writes,
Cultural and political observers have been declaring a conservative groundswell for at least 15 years.
A 2001 survey done by the University of California at Berkeley found that young people today are substantially more likely to support conservative social initiatives […]

The happiest people surround themselves with family and friends, don’t care about keeping up with the Joneses next door, lose themselves in daily activities and, most important, forgive easily.
That is the formula for happiness, according to a new breed of psychologists.
