During a recent fundraiser, President Obama told an audience that he and the Democrats don’t want to tax all business out of business. He also said he doesn’t believe in “top down” government.

The hand-in-hand nature of this White House and some of the nation’s biggest corporations is seen in yet another incident as Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign data team is now moving from team Obama to team Google.

Today’s example of why government unions should be outlawed is a union chief who ostensibly “works” for the people of New York. He has a grueling two-hour-a-day “work” schedule and spends that time eating lunch, then sleeping. He’s a real life union fat cat, a perfect example of why government unions should be illegal, and [...]
The federal government’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has partnered with La Raza–a group widely believed to be racist–to encourage more Hispanics to apply for higher position within the government. La Raza, whose name translates to “The Race,” will sponsor a workshop to help members fill jobs in the Senior Executive Services (SES). These are [...]
The story of the coming demise of Chinatown bus lines in New York City is a tale of multiple failures in both government and the media and shows that both have a bias against entrepreneurs that kills new, start up ideas with unfair regulations, faux public advocacy, and dismal reporting. A “Chinatown buss” was a [...]
Supermarket owner Rafael Cuellar from Passaic, NJ, reports that he had to spend $350,000 to install 69 surveillance cameras, recording devices, and video storage banks in order to stop fake “slip and fall” insurance claims against his store.

The watermelons said it couldn’t be done; they have been proved wrong, yet again.
MSNBC talker Toure thinks he has discovered a key security flaw in our nation’s policies and has suggested a solution. Poverty in the Muslim world, he says, is a key threat to U.S. security and to nullify that threat we should open the borders wide and let all Muslims come here to get jobs so [...]
(OK, so one of my last ones had too much agreement from our left-wing commenters. So here is one to set things aright…) What one resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts had to say about the atmosphere in that liberal area of the state was quite telling in revealing how essentially un-American leftism truly is. This resident [...]
Buried in a recent Politico story is a line that reveals the utter corruption of “money in politics.” But not that of money spent electioneering, but that spent by government from the assumed bottomless pockets of the American taxpayer. It is a corruption that has destroyed the Constitution, laid waste the rule of law, perverted [...]
And about to get really, really bad. I write about economics. A lot. And lately there’s been a whole lot to write about especially when it comes to financing cities, towns, counties and states. Unlike the federal government they operate under some draconian conditions as they generally can’t either run a deficit or print money. [...]
One of the left’s biggest rallying cries against what they claim are the evils of the right was its opposition to the Citizens United Supreme Court decision that essentially opened up our political process to unlimited donations to political causes. The left claimed allowing more money into politics was evil and says the case must [...]
The Illinois Review noticed an interesting thing about the instructions for the State of Illinois 2012 tax returns.

Especially if you’re a “public employee.” Public employees – and particularly cops, firefighters and teachers – have been working diligently and effectively with elected Democrats (for the most part) for thirty plus years to rape municipal and state taxpayers. And I’m not using the word “rape” lightly, it’s intentional. They may very well discover that [...]
Today is “women are oppressed by evil white men” day, and the left has ginned itself up with the lie that women only make 77 cents for every dollar men make. Yeah, it is a lie. The truth is women make pretty much the same salary as men when “apples” are compared to “apples”… The [...]
This should tell you everything you need to know about the idea that the federal government should be allowed to do anything. This story broke last week in an article in the DNC House Organ… Cancer clinics across the country have begun turning away thousands of Medicare patients, blaming the sequester budget cuts. Oncologists say [...]
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is at it again, this time going off on Governor Cuomo and many other state legislators claiming they aren’t fit for any job in the private sector.

Obama had a message about elected officials, who they are, and what they want [...]
On Wednesday, April 3, President Obama announced he would be returning 5% of his paycheck to the federal treasury in a show of shared sacrifice with federal workers facing furloughs because of the sequester.
