By Steve McGough / February 20, 2008 / Comments Off on Obama’s Entitlements for Everyone

Special thanks to Jim Vicevich for actually watching the full speech by Obama last night. I can’t even watch three minutes. Double thanks for sitting through it all again earlier today and editing down the message so we can get an idea of all the promises. This is certainly not something new. Both Democrats and…

Let’s raise taxes on the rich and insure that…

overall government tax receipts will fall.  That is the reality, but those on the left refuse to believe it.  Now we have more proof, this time from the UK.

Jim just sent me a text asking to highlight the post I wrote in April looking at federal tax figures from 2008. Click here to read that post, and click here to read the other April post titled Go ahead, tax the rich … let’s run the numbers.

Illinois increases income and corporate taxes while residents suffer

By Steve McGough / January 17, 2011 /

You can call it a 66 percent increase in taxes – it is – or an increase in the personal income tax from 3 percent to 5 percent and corporate taxes from 3.25 percent to 5.25 percent. Either way, the State of Illinois is taking a huge gamble.

Of course we all know by now that Senator John Kerry (D. Ma.) moored his new gabillion dollar yacht (built in New Zealand) in Rhode Island so that he wouldn’t have to pay sales and use taxes of over $500,000 to the state of Massachusetts.  But, here is what you may not remember. While running…

Obama: Read my lips … we’re not playing that Washington game

By Steve McGough / April 27, 2010 /

By SoundOffSister / November 30, 2009 /

With the health care debate heating up in the Senate this week, perhaps it’s time to analyze what proponents of Obamacare tell us this legislation will do, and compare that with what the legislation actually will do.

A caller on Friday’s show asked an interesting question about confiscating all income made by people earning more than $1 million in this country.  I believe his question was, if that were done, how long could the government operate? It should come as no great surprise that the answer is, not long.  I can’t brake it down into…

By Dave in EH / December 30, 2008 /

Remember all that Democratic whining about wanting for people to drive more fuel-efficient cars? Here comes the other shoe… “A year ago, the Oregon Department of Transportation announced it had demonstrated that a new way to pay for roads — via a mileage tax and satellite technology — could work. Now Gov. Ted Kulongoski says…
