Conservatives espouse entrepreneurship. We know as Jean-Baptiste Say wrote in his “Treatise on Political Economy,” that, “excessive taxes are a form of suicide.” Keynesian “economics” is anathema to free enterprise. Congress spending a trillion dollars more annually than we receive as our national debt reaches twenty-three trillion is unnecessary and extremely dangerous. Why do we […]

How do we defend our values and win the political argument?

“One of the most successful political ploys is to promise people things without having the money to pay for them.” ~Thomas Sowell From 1800-1930 the USA ran budget surpluses more than 2/3rds of years. That’s right, our tax receipts to the government were more than Congress spent! In fact, except for three major wars, The […]
If technology creates clean energy faster for the same or a lower price, then it’ll win and businesses and individuals will switch from current sources quickly. The technology obviously isn’t there yet, but they want us to switch in a hurry now. Do you think we’ll do irreparable damage to the planet if we don’t […]
