      Economics 101 in Gartman This Morning

      Pennsylvania Secretary of Public welfare has put out a slide showing how the state’s assistance programs have become a very real disincentive: The single mom is better off earning gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income and benefits [paid] than to earn gross income of...

      The War on Poverty is an utter failure - Walter Williams' documentary

      Here is a cool documentary on the War on Poverty. It is based on the works of Walter Williams, who seems to have a pretty good grasp of the way a capitalist system ought to operate. For your enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1r-r6iLBEI www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DS0XXFdyfI...

      The Dominoes Are Starting To Fall In California

      And most of them are due to unions, public safety and local politicians spending like they've got an endless supply of money. They got drunk off the housing boom and let unions dictate what would happen to the funds, in many cases, when they were on the upswing. When the housing boom went bust...

      I Think My President Hates Me

      Holy Das Kapital, Batman. Did my President really say this? Does he think he's running for Senate in Massachusetts? Anyone with a business, newsflash, you didn't build anything. At least the mask is off now. Obama to Americans: You don't deserve what you've earned | The Daily Caller

      Obama rolls back the welfare system to Pre-Clinton days

      Those of you who were paying attention in 1996 probably remember the republican congress coming to an agreement with President Clinton to re-write the welfare code so that things like: Stayed in bed, went to beach, stayed at home with the kids...didn't count as "Work" perse. Now the Obama...

      my first,only, and last internet rant....

      On my way to the shop this morning I stopped at our local Sav-a-Step food mart. Real nice Indian guy owns the place. There was a lady in front of me with $30 worth of junk food and a deli sandwich in line to pay. I was looking at her stuff. Candy, a lunchable package`, a medium bag of Doritos, a...

      Poor America

      This is a 30 minute documentary from BBC (United Kingdom), discussing the growing poor class in America. An outsider's perspective. I don't agree with every political point that was made in here, and it butchered a quote from Ron Paul. But I found it interesting nonetheless. Our future...

      minimum wage argument

      I have heard people say that minimum wage earners shouldn't expect to be able support a family on the jobs they have. If they want a better income, get a better job. Then they turn around and defend welfare in the same breath. All in the name of workers rights. Apparently, the concept doesn't...

      Finally! Obama Wants To Make Cuts I Can Get Behind

      About time someone went after some of the outrageous farm subsidies out there. It's not much, but it is a start. Of course, the republicrats and some of their dem buddies will likely be against it to protect their ADM money. Obama wants to end $5 billion a year US farm subsidy - Yahoo! News

      Americans in poverty?

      I have no doubt that people are in REAL poverty in America, but I'd say we have a bigger problem with people who can't admit that they're in need of some education of money management and can do without some modern conveniences in order to get by. How Poor Are America's Poor? Examining the...

      Surprisingly, welfare drug tests cost more than they save

      98% of welfare recipients are drug free. That's what we've learned in Florida Governor Rick Scott's experiment with taking citizen's pee in exchange for handouts. The program costs the taxpayers more than it saves them. The only real way to take a bite out of the Welfare State is to attack...
