Senator Judd Gregg schools MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on taxes

By Jim Vicevich / December 8, 2010 /

Much is being made of the cost of the Obama tax compromise. The left in particular is taking aim on extending the Bush tax rates for “millionaires and billionaires.” The lefty press is quick to point out what they perceive as hypocrisy on the part of Republicans. After all, extending the tax rates will “cost…

Your Krauthammer Moment: No tax cuts, no budget, they’re incompetent

By Jim Vicevich / September 30, 2010 /

It’s the Democrats he’s talking about, mostly because they are in charge, with huge majorities. But wait there’s more. Vast numbers of that huge majority sided with the Republicans … retain the Bush Tax rates across the board for the people and the people that employ the people. Bipartisan! Maybe that’s why CK calls the…

Good news: The “McCain economist” Democrats love to quote says brace yourself for double digit unemployment

By Jim Vicevich / August 19, 2010 /

His name is Mark Zandi, Moody’s chief economist, a well known Keynesian, and number cruncher (not advisor) to John McCain, says things look bad, reaaaaaaaal bad.

The true cost of hiring just one employee

By Jim Vicevich / August 15, 2010 /

I have talked about this until I am blue in the face. But when I heard financial wizard and former actor, Wayne Rogers, put it all down in numbers, I just had to record and present. Those of you who have never run a business, never created a job, never met a payroll, never sweated…

Dick Durbin slams the rich, Dave Ramsey fires back

By Jim Vicevich / December 15, 2010 /

It’s getting rough out there my little hostage takers. The name calling continues and the latest installment comes from Dick Durbin who invokes Dickens’ A Christmas Carol to take a shot at those evil rich people. Well last night on Cavuto, Dave Ramsey had just about enough … and the rest, as they say, is…

Obama: I had to negotiate with those”hostage takers” … aka: Republicans

By Jim Vicevich / December 7, 2010 /

Obama’s most incredible statement comes in response to a question by NBC’s Chuck Todd who asks the President to respond to the Democrat Progressive wing that finds the Obama compromise outrageous, among other things. The President’s weak response is hardly Presidential, but then that should not surprise you. The only thing missing here is “The…

Obama and Republicans strike deal to save tax rates, unemployment checks UPDATE: Video up

By Jim Vicevich / December 6, 2010 /

Forgive me for being underwhelmed. The Republicans held all the cards and I don’t see this as much of a victory for the conservative way as a victory for politicians. But still, the tax rates will remain in force for those making more than $200,000 a year and unemployment benefits will be extended another year.

Boehner: There will be no tax increase … on anyone

By Jim Vicevich / November 5, 2010 /

Well, if he holds to that promise, it would be a refreshing change from the weenies who used to call themselves Republicans. As promised, the video of the Boehner video.

For Democrats, tax cuts are ‘expensive’ – Hogwash, government is expensive

By Steve McGough / November 15, 2010 /

Austan Goolsbee is a con artist who is a professional at playing the class warfare card. Goolsbee, President Obama’s chair of the Council on Economic Advisors, created a White House video trying to get those of us who make less than $200,000 a year ticked off at the rich folk. Dan Mitchell picks Goolsbee apart point-by-point…

Jack Kennedy vs Obama on Tax Cuts. Amazing

By Jim Vicevich / September 9, 2010 /

I would think, by now, everyone is aware of the fact that President John Kennedy was very much in favor of cutting taxes during the recession of 1962. He understood what so many now have seen (see Reagan) that tax cuts stimulate an economy and add to government revenue, not subtract. It is truly amazing…
