The Barack Obama Administration is back at it – yet another Big Government power grab is in the works. The Administration’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is yet again resurrecting Network Neutrality – an all-encompassing Internet usurpation twice unanimously killed by court as an illegal overreach. Court Backs Comcast Over FCC on ‘Net Neutrality’ Verizon Wins […]
We Conservatives rightly and righteously loathe our every five-year renewal of the Farm Bill. It is a Franklin Delano Roosevelt-New Deal relic, filled to the rim with more protectionism than anyone not getting government checks could possibly stomach. We just in February renewed this anti-free market folly. So we’re again mired in this mess. We […]
In the late, great Harold Ramis’ cinematic classic “Animal House,” perpetual Faber College student John Blutarsky succinctly summed up the Left’s approach to policy. Over? Did you say ‘over?’ Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!… It ain’t over now, ’cause when the […]
This is at once obnoxious and pathetic. Wheeler Tees Up Net Neutrality for May Meeting FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said Wednesday that he would be circulating a draft of the FCC’s new network neutrality rules to the other commissioners Thursday (April 24). This is their third attempt at this particular power garb. It’s becoming fetishistic. […]
(Please click here for the video.) We have before us – and the government – Comcast’s acquisition of Time Warner Cable. Which the Leviathan and the Left view as an opportunity to outright blockade the free market. Or, barring that, unilaterally impose many, many a la carte regulations – that they otherwise can’t get imposed […]
The federal government is yet again acquiescing to the ridiculous anti-free market demands of the Left. We the People will yet again be forced to pay dearly for the resulting damage. We have looming before us a wireless spectrum crunch. Spectrum being the finite airwaves we use for all things wireless – from cell phones […]
It’s Tax Day in America. Which brings to mind one of the late, great Ronald Reagan’s many great lines: “Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the Democrats believe every day is April 15.” And of course Reagan was right. Taxes damage individuals, families and economies every single day of the year […]
Tuesday is April 15 – Tax Day. The official day that represents governments’ year-round, omni-directional shearing of We the People. Looking to get filing help from our federal fleecers is at best a crapshoot. IRS Can’t Do The Math IRS Help Line Has Error Rate of 30.8% Busy Signal Awaits IRS Help Line Callers How […]
Your average government – anywhere in the world – has more resources at its disposal than just about any private company on the planet. So when a government sets its sites on making a private company’s life miserable – it almost always can. Because it can put the full weight of the Leviathan behind the […]
Crony Socialism is private companies using Big Government’s enormous power to better themselves – or to hobble their competition. It is free market success stories – bailing on the free market once they’ve achieved a comfortable share of the marketplace. Choosing instead to remain in sclerotic stasis, and have Big Government save them from themselves […]
