What is Big Government?
Big Government shouldn’t be confused with Government proper. Government proper, limited in its power and scope to only those tasks which legitimately protect life, liberty, and property from fraud and criminality, is not Big Government. It is the foundation of a free civilization. Here are some definitions of Big Government from a few online dictionaries. […]

4. October 2010
People who say they don’t want free markets, or who say they want to reduce or eliminate competition, are really just people who want to eliminate the virtues of service, freedom, prosperity and choice. Competition is a by-product. It’s not something desirable in itself – it’s just what happens when other desirable things happen. Competition […]

Comments Off on George Will Brings the Paddle Down on “Progressivism’s” Backside
If you only read on thing this month, make it this article. Liberalism is, at heart, an impossible promise. A promise that in aggregate the peoples of the world can consume more than they produce, that there is “such thing as a free lunch”. Its ideal – the welfare state – is just as big […]

21. March 2010
This post will be short, but we wanted to get something up tonight. It’s been a disappointing day, but while some are despairing we are not. The odds of overcoming a super-majority in the senate, a massive majority in the house, and a president elected by a large margin were always very steep. But the […]

5. March 2010
At his recent health care press conference President Obama told some real whoppers. Among others, he said that his proposal “would bring down the cost of health care for millions—families, businesses and the federal government” and then added that it was “fully paid for.” And not only that, but it would bring down the deficit […]

Comments Off on Learn from History
I am sharing this discussion which was sent to me. It is a retelling of a history of disaster. I also remember the warning that whoever does not learn from history is destined to relive it. Read below to the end. Learn what really happened. It can and will unless we vote out the people […]

What follows is excerpted from a letter from Stephen E. Frazer, MD, an anesthesiologist in Indianapolis, to Sen. Bayh. Clearly Dr. Frazer has too much time or insomnia to have read the entire House Bill to “reform health care” in our country. I have not included Dr. Frazer’s pleas to the senator, which will, no […]

12. August 2009
Last week I attended a luncheon with some other small business people to hear the Arizona State Treasurer address Arizona’s private and public economic status. The Treasurer pulled no punches. The state legislature is deadlocked over the budget and barring either immediate spending cuts or an immediate tax increase the state is 30-60 days away […]

24. July 2009
We have argued that* the current health care plan is bad for small business and our country’s economic recovery. Our future, especially our children’s financial future, in large part hinges on the defeat of the current proposal. There needs to be health reform, but not this, not socialized care that hurts the US economy. New […]

20. July 2009
It just isn’t right, and we can stop it. First off, it’s un-American. There’s nothing helpful or redeeming about the plan. And it’s bad – really bad – for small businesses. Here are five reasons it’s sick – please share this information with co-workers and employees and contact your representatives; at the end of the […]

23. June 2009
It’s very trendy amongst lovers of central power and big government (especially socialists and communists) to state that capitalistic free market economies cause the need for welfare programs. When we hear this from people, we have to be prepared to respond with logical correction. This wrongheaded thinking – that centralized state control “cures” welfare whereas […]
