_______________ Why the growing grassroots movement can’t fight big government at home while supporting it abroad. BY RON PAUL | AUGUST 27, 2010 As one who is opposed to centralization, I am wary of attempts to turn a grassroots movement against big government like the Tea Party into an adjunct of the Republican Party. I [...]

The Internal Revenue Service, on their website, www.irs.gov, offers an indexed document titled THE TRUTH ABOUT FRIVOLOUS TAX ARGUMENTS, updated January 1, 2010. The IRS offers this document to rebut citizens who claim the Sixteenth Amendment, the Income Tax Amendment, in some way has no jurisdiction over them. One of the arguments by Anti-Income Tax [...]

Alan Greenspan, a self-described lifelong Republican libertarian, has called for the repeal of the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts. Greenspan’s position, adopted in large part because of his implicit backing of the tax cuts under president George W. Bush, puts him against Republican orthodoxy, and decidedly to the left of President Barack Obama. Social [...]

Health care reform is going to produce the exact opposite of what Washington is saying. Because of those 2,700 pages of reform garbage up in Capital Hill, health care costs are going up. In the simplest terms, the federal government abusively added 32 million uninsured people into the system. The number of doctors is going [...]

March 4, 1789, the first day of our federal government, the debt was approximately 75 million dollars (40% of our economy); this terrified our founding fathers as they acted quickly to pay it down – In 1835, the federal debt was 0. From 1861 to 1862, as a result of the civil war, the debt [...]

Aghast I do say, to those who do not sway, all other colors be banished away; the yucky yellow, the barbaric brown; these cheeses, I do not pray. A sandwich bar I go, to the cheese course do I so, and thy say upon to me what of a duo? Is it yellow that I [...]

In the fall of 1956, during the Suez Canal Crisis, the world was on the brink of major international conflict. American allies, Britain and France, were engaged in a battle against Egypt over control of the Suez Canal. Social Bookmarking

In a nut shell, Subsidies are when the government takes tax money from you by force, and spends it on something you would not be willing to pay for in the free market. Subsidies support questionable or obsolete businesses in the name of the public interest because the government does not trust us to do [...]

When the government borrows money from the Federal Reserve or when a person borrows money from a bank, it almost always has to be paid back with interest. In other words, almost every single dollar in existence must eventually be returned to the bank with the principal and the interest as well. However, if all [...]

The United States Federal Government decides it needs some money, so it calls up the Federal Reserve and says it needs 10 billion dollars. The Fed replies “Sure, we will buy 10 billion dollars in government bonds from you.” So the government takes some fancy paper and calls it treasury bonds, assigns this paper a [...]

So let’s know what we are talking about and how it came to be. The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) is a reconciliation bill passed by the 111th United States Congress to make changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590, Public Law No. 111-148). After much [...]

Many moons ago I told readers about getting out of debt, saving and preparing for the possible bad times ahead. I doubt seriously that I have affected as many lives as the Federal Reserve is reporting – however, their report does show I am not the only one thinking or preaching the idea. According to [...]

 This message was pulled straight from an email I received earlier. I post it here for people to see and hopefully empower them to make a few choices that might possibly save their future. In keeping with my desire for everyone to be financially secure in their retirement years I believe the information here, for [...]

After I posted the difference between conservatives and liberals, someone asked me to do a comparison between capitalism and socialism. While it might be fun to make a list of comparisons, similar to the other article, time constraints don’t allow me to do so right away. Such a list will need to wait for awhile. [...]

For years people have been using credit cards for all sorts of money transactions. Since the economic downturn of the last twp years, a major cry went out about how credit card companies are ripping off their customers. So much went on about it that Congress decided it needed to step in. Of course, the [...]

Gold prices leapt forward yesterday when an unexpected report showed that oil producers are now planning to stop using the dollar as the basis for oil trade. There of course is no way for me to prove the truth or falsehood of what the reports say. However, if you have been to some of my [...]

For a long time now I have been telling people what is going to happen with America. How it will be destroyed from within by our own people we elect into office and what they do when trying to control our economy through unnatural means rather then free markets. If you are not watching the [...]

As the circumstances yield, if one were to look up politics in a thesaurus, the word “Money” should be listed as its first synonym. The cold hard truth us as a political party must recognize is that cold hard cash is the true means to the political end. The message of liberty is not enough [...]

We have watched for over a year now. We hit the recession. The housing bubble collapsed. Markets tanked. People lost huge sums of investment monies. Full industries tanked as banks and auto manufacturers screamed for government aide. The credit crisis was in full swing and the Federal Reserve printing presses haven’t stopped pumping out the [...]

We all know, from a Libertarian perspective, that the free enterprise market is the way to go. As with all markets there are up sides, down sides, good sides and bad sides; in my travels around the world I have come to recognize one succinct catch that keeps just about everyone a slave. No, I [...]
