Well, that didn’t take long. Less than two months into his presidency and Joe Biden wants to raise taxes because we need to pay for all the SPENDING. Give me a break. They’re not interested in paying for anything. They won’t be paying for their spending, they’ll just be creating dollars out of thin air. Look at the chart of M2 money supply below to see how it’s already started. Press Secretary Jen Psaki talks to us with a face that says “I hate you,” and “I will crush you,” and looks just fine with the idea of taking more of what’s yours. She doesn’t look like she worries too much about … [Read more...]
Looking for a Better America
After decades of urbanization, Americans are rebelling against the “bigger is better” mentality of city-living. Seeking a smaller, more affordable, sustainable, and secure lifestyle, some are venturing out from the mega-cities in search of a different life.
A number of techniques have become popular in an effort to save, especially scaling down the size of one’s home. Living small and saving big is even better when it’s coupled with living in a state that treats you more like a human than an ATM it can withdraw money from.
Look for a better America today. Start by reading what I have written to help you below:
Parents and Politicians Fight Abuse by Teachers’ Unions During Pandemic
There are still places in America where schools are closed. Despite a promise by Joe Biden that he'd have them open in his first 100 days (by April 30), teachers' unions in many places have no intention of opening schools. The selfish response to the pandemic by teachers' unions, who have left children at home dealing with the mental distress of isolation, has opened the eyes of many parents and politicians who are now fighting back. You've read a lot about West Virginia Governor Jim Justice here lately, and that's because he's leading a charge to make the state part of America's "growth … [Read more...]
Sen. Joe Manchin and Democrats Trying to Kill West Virginia’s Tax Cut Plan
You read yesterday that Gov. Jim Justice of West Virginia is trying to turn his state into a destination for liberty retirees and anyone looking for a better place in America. Not to mention his desire to make West Virginia a better place for people already there. But working against him are Democrats in Congress, including Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). Democrats have lined up billions of dollars to be given to every state in America, but have attached rules to the money that will intercede in states' local affairs by preventing them from cutting taxes for their citizens. That's especially … [Read more...]
Business Isn’t the Enemy, It’s the Answer
You may remember when Ronald Reagan said, “The best social program is a productive job for anyone who’s willing to work.” He was right. If there is anything America has learned from governors going wild and shutting down their states' economies, there's no bailout or stimulus that can provide for Americans as well as their own entrepreneurial spirit can. One place in America where you can see the difference in the performance between government and the private sector is Newark, NJ. For years then-Mayor Cory Booker and other politicians tried to engineer resuscitation efforts for the … [Read more...]
Could Biden and Cuomo Kill New York Forever?
You may never see another migration like you saw in 2020. The number of people leaving New York City in 2020 was breathtaking. Between January 1, and December 17, 2020, about 3.57 million mostly wealthy people left New York City. The lost income caused by all those wealthy New Yorkers escaping the city was about $34 billion. That's like New York losing an economy the size of the entire country of Latvia in a single year. People were fleeing New York last year because of the pandemic, and the BLM/Antifa riots that plagued the city and others across the country. But the flow of wealthy … [Read more...]
Is There One Best Place in America for ‘Liberty Retirees?’
You might be looking for the best place in America to retire. You may enjoy owning firearms, paying low taxes, and being left alone. That's the definition of what I'm calling a "liberty retiree." Recently a liberty retiree, known as U, asked MarketWatch's Catey Hill where would be the best place for them to retire. Hill answered (abridged): To answer your question, I went right to the source: the Libertarian Party itself, where I had a lively chat with Dan Fishman, the party’s executive director, who had a lot of advice for you. He said that, while the Libertarian Party doesn’t maintain a … [Read more...]
Michigan Lawmakers Fight for Second Amendment Rights
Lawmakers in Michigan are anticipating a push by the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress for stricter gun control measures. The Republicans in the Michigan state senate passed a resolution saying they will resist any future gun control measures by the federal government. Samuel Dodge reports for Mlive.com, writing: Michigan senators bickered Wednesday over a resolution that would charge the state with defending the Second Amendment from any future federal gun control measures. Senate Resolution 22, sponsored by Sen. Lana Theis, R-Brighton, seeks to “preserve the Second … [Read more...]
Secession: Northern Californians Dream of Charting Their Own Destiny
You learned last week about American Secession, a new book by F.H. Buckley, a Foundation Professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School of George Mason University. Buckley believes America is "ripe for secession," and that "the bitterness, the gridlock, the growing tolerance of violence invite us to think that we’d be happier were we two different countries." One area of America desperate to chart its own course is Northern California. In The Washington Examiner, Mica Soellner reports: Mark Baird is a third-generation Californian who hopes to one day be a first-generation … [Read more...]
Secession: Impossible? Not if You Think Locally
If it’s so easy to rule the world at Amazon.com, how hard would it be to change the rules? The states figured out how to get their piece of the pie by taxation. What other barriers to entry are there? There was a time when hanging out at the mall on a Friday night was a thing. Now you mention that to a teenager, and you’re met with blank stares. Why would you do that when you can shop online? Yes, Amazon can get a package to your door, but it’s still a challenge. It’s still hard to get up and down your driveway. They haven’t solved the “local” last mile challenge quite yet. And that’s … [Read more...]
Joel Kotkin: Economic Civil War
On his blog, Joel Kotkin explains that America is in a form of economic civil war, with the tangible economy of "making, growing, and using real things," in competition with the "incorporeal world of media and digital transactions." Donald Trump, the irascible New York developer, focused on the places where the tangible economy was strong, but President Biden convinced enough voters in heartland states that their economic interests would be taken seriously. Some parts of the Biden agenda—measures to reshore industry, restore supply chains, and improve basic infrastructure—could unify the … [Read more...]
