Tax Day is a natural fit for a Tea Party protesting the massive debt and tax increases our government is irresponsibly forcing upon us during these fragile economic times. Many people have contacted me saying they want to organize something but want to include everyone with similar aspirations and not duplicate any efforts [...]

I just attended the Shelby County, AL Tea Party inspired by Rick Santelli of CNBC. I found out about it from Michelle Malkin’s site about 15 minutes before it started and it was being held right in my neighborhood! I figured our forefathers would not be deterred by the rain so neither would [...]

In the State of the Union this week, President Obama said that people making over $250,000 would not see their taxes increases by one dime.
Obama’s new budget proposal is going to reduce the home mortgage interest deduction on people who make over $208,850.
From US News:
Households paying income taxes at the 33% [...]

The Wall Street Journal - Obama’s 2% Illusion
Consider the IRS data for 2006, the most recent year that such tax data are available and a good year for the economy and “the wealthiest 2%.” Roughly 3.8 million filers had adjusted gross incomes above $200,000 in 2006. (That’s about 7% of all returns; the data aren’t [...]

Did anyone at all notice that Congress once again decided not to block their annual cost of living pay raise? I have not seen this on a single news channel. Members of Congress will all receive an automatic $4700 “cost of living” pay raise. How many of you are getting a “cost of living” pay [...]

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood wants to tax you by the mileage you drive instead of the gas you consume. Let’s put aside the privacy problems with having the government give you some device to track how far you drive. And let’s put aside the obvious fact that they will not replace the gas [...]

I was watching NatGeo on tv Tuesday night and there was a show about the Great Wall of China. Turns out, the Ming Dynasty completely collapsed under crushing debt after going broke building the wall. It was a great, shovel-ready jobs program that created tons of jobs but failed to stimulate their economy.

Barack Obama, still showing the uncanny political skills that got him elected, has come out opposed to the “Fairness Doctrine”. He scores big points with me for protecting free speech and having some semblance of common sense. As I have said all along, Obama will get fair treatment and praise from [...]

Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins
with special mention for John McCain’s best friend, Independent disappointment Joe Lieberman.
They voted for the biggest non-stimulating, wasteful spending plan in the history of the world.
If they are going to sell us out, I would rather have a Democrat in their place. I will donate money to defeat them [...]

Zero House Republicans voted for Obama’s stimulus package which is loaded with wasteful spending that will do nothing to stimulate the economy. Republicans were willing to consider a bipartisan compromise but could not vote for such a bill that does not include more tax cuts and less wasteful spending.
Finally. Good first step in winning me [...]
