When did Dependency Become Cool? [Reader Post]

Not long ago President Obama lit what Mark Steyn could have referred to as his latest exploding cigar. By now, you’re probably familiar with “Julia”, the composite woman (not to be confused with the president’s composite girlfriends) who we learn lives a wonderful life with the comfort of cradle to grave assistance from the government, and how terrible her life would be as a result of a Romney presidency. Like manna from Heaven the conservatives had a field day with this one. The Romney campaign immediately fired off some tweets in response, we saw the Twittersphere light up with “#Im Not Julia” themed tweets, and of course, we saw a fair amount of ridicule in conservative publications and blogs.

Obama, Will You Please Define “Fair,” Then Stick To It? [Reader Post]

Obama, during the Democrat Party primary debate, said that he would raise capital gains rates — not because it would increase revenue, but because it was “fair.” During the debate, Obama said, “…I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.” He continued, “…I also want to make sure is that our tax system is fair….”

The “problem” is that Obama did not define, precisely or otherwise, his definition of “fair.” Continue reading

Can We Taxpayers Expect Anything From “Julia?” [Reader Post]

On Thursday, April 3, 2012, the Barack Obama re-election campaign released “The Life of Julia.” In it are 12 stages in the life of “Julia,” a fictional woman used to demonstrate how Obama’s policies would help her. Throughout the stages in her life, Julia is depicted as someone who benefits from the programs either created by or funded by Obama. The obvious message is that a vote for Obama will keep the largesse flowing for all, not just fictional Julia.

One very real problem with the “Julia” concept is that throughout the 12 stages nowhere is it mentioned that “Julia” ever gives back for any of the benefits she receives. Continue reading

The Sad State Of Our Country Exemplified By “The Life Of Julia”

Yesterday Obama released the creepy slideshow “The Life of Julia” in which they depict how a female is taken care of from cradle to grave by the taxpayer. It’s a perfect example of the welfare state that is bankrupting this country. In the utopian world of Julia she gets money for college, for her medical bills, she gets to sue her employer for more money, she gets free contraception, loans for a business, and then some retirement money until she dies. Somehow Obama believes we will have the money for all that for the next 80 years. Continue reading

New York Times: Apple should save California by paying higher taxes [Reader Post]

Bill Whittle over at Pajamas Media had a great piece in his Afterburner segment this week. Calling statistician William M. Briggs’ “The love of theory is the root of all evil” “The Best Sentence Ever”, Whittle discusses how the love of the theory of Communism caused the deaths of well over 100,000 million people during the 20th century. The crux of his piece is that liberals, living in their world of theory and planning have no clue how the world actually works. Continue reading

Creating Wealth

While our president crusades with his unrealistic plan to tax the rich in order to pay for his profligate spending and bring the country back to what now seems like a Capitalist pipe dream of Utopia, the elusive pre-Obama economy. Obama Elites, who are rich, but don’t seem to pay taxes or worry about them, agree with the old Marxist parable, “tax the rich to spread the wealth around,” at least, as long as no one dips into their private accounts. If Obama stays in power, their money is safe, that’s the way his system works. While the public frets over wether Obama is a Statist or a Marxist, because he keeps trying to make the old failed Marxist principles work. Apparently, the Marxists of history didn’t understand how to run a Statist economy or so Obama must reason to keep from being collectively diagnosed as a psychotic, by doing the same experiment repeatedly and expecting a different result.

The Incompetent Obama – His Economic Policies Will Be Our Undoing

Illinois offers us a perfect example of what happens when you institute liberal policies, as Obama has done to the entire country:

After trying to tax Illinois to governmental solvency and economic dynamism, Pat Quinn, a Democrat who has been governor since 2009, now says “our rendezvous with reality has arrived.” Actually, Illinois is still reality-averse, so Americans may soon learn the importance of the freedom to fail in a system of competitive federalism.
