Government will spend whatever the tax system will raise (more like double…)

By Steve McGough / September 2, 2010 /

I’ve been reading a bit about Milton Friedman, a Hoover Institution economist – not a politician – who past away in 2006. Conservatives can learn quite a bit from this great man. We need another conservative economic mentor for present-day, and maybe Dan Mitchell is that person?

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…

Connecticut Tea Party – Update

By Jim Vicevich / February 27, 2009 /

UPDATE: I am an idiot. The credit for this protest, if it were not made plain, lies with the RVO chat room and most especially, I think, Rick from West Hartford. I say I think because I really am not the force behind this today. Rick is and his com-padres who put this together. Without…

I knew Ronald Reagan and you are no Ronald Reagan

By Jim Vicevich / February 18, 2009 /

Larry Elder, one of my talk show heroes and the man who coined the phrase “Republitarian”, was a guest on the O’Reilly Factor last night and does a great job of explaining, factually, why government spending did not pull America out of the Great Depression nor will it work this time.

Part of the Obamacare legislation was a requirement employers who provide/sponsor health coverage let employees know how much they are dishing out for your health care insurance. You might be surprised.

Obamacare wipes out Obama’s sought after tax increases

By SoundOffSister / November 16, 2012 /

Our annual deficit has been running in excess of $1 trillion per year over the last 4 years.  Our President has now demanded tax increases of $160 billion per year, from the “rich” to off set that deficit. 

Obama doubles down on tax increases

By SoundOffSister / November 14, 2012 /

We told you on Monday that eliminating the Bush tax cuts for individuals making more than $200,000 per year, as demanded by the President, would theoretically raise $82 billion in revenue per year.  (More on that point later)  Today we learned that the President wants more.

Do Connecticut Democrats have “battered woman syndrome”?

By Dimsdale / February 9, 2012 /

An exchange on Jim’s show this morning made me laugh and think at the same time.  A caller remarked paying (well, bribing) companies to come to Connecticut is analogous to paying a high priced mistress: when the money dries up, she disappears in the middle of the night. When you think about it, aren’t Democrats…

Tax-Exempt Media Matters for America illegally coordinates with Congress (Update)

By Steve McGough / January 26, 2012 /

We’ve known Media Matters for America is hiding behind its tax-exempt, non-partisan 501(c)(3) status, but it’s time the IRS calls them out and pull their tax-exempt approval.

Redistributing GPAs – You really don’t need a 4.0 do you?

By Steve McGough / April 26, 2011 /

College Republicans at the University of California Merced pulled out the video camera for a redistribution experiment. Organizers asked students with “excessive” GPAs to give up a portion of their own GPA to students having a tough time meeting graduation requirements. Guess how many were willing to help out?
