…, I see anger and frustration. He’s almost behaving like a school boy who isn’t getting his way. This stimulus bill and the cap on CEO earnings should not be passed or permitted to happen. Under its current state, it truly is socialism in disguise. In fact, the cap on corporate executive earnings announced a few days ago actually reeks of central planning. Dare I say that this is actually one step beyond socialism? How can we as a free market eco…

…litics: I am afraid. As stated in one of my earlier columns, it seems that President Bush is going to be remembered, not for his foreign affairs achievements, but for his move away from the free market and into European style socialism. Apparently, we didn’t even have to wait for President-Elect Obama. We are getting it right now. And boy, are we getting it hard! Last week, the final nail in the coffin of a free market, was hammered. President Bu…

…n’t really aware that we were socialists. I knew that we would be taken care of from cradle to grave. “Doesn’t get any better than that,” my American born husband teases. It was a wonderful place to grow up, and still is. But socialism was not something I had any selective choice over and not something I would choose after living in the United States for more than twenty years. Following are some summer stories from family and friends over a Schn…

…e Academy “All pretense of trying to win a majority of the white working class (reverse racism) has been effectively jettisoned in favor of cementing a center-left coalition (closer to Fascism and Communism-the end product of socialism) made up, on the one hand, of voters who have gotten ahead on the basis of educational attainment (entitlement) – professors, artists, designers, editors, human resources managers, lawyers, librarians, socia…

… seemed on the superficial level to offer continuity, it was actually an ideological reversal, back to the Liberal wing of the Republican Party. Though he lambasted his opponent Michael Dukakis, tarring him with the “Liberal” label, which Reaganism had turned into a dirty word, Bush himself was every bit a Progressive. His admitted trouble with “the vision thing” prevented him from continuing with Reagan’s unfinished work: shrinking government, e…

It has been six months since the Administration took office and the far left have taken complete control of the government. Has our capitalist past been improved upon? Or, is the socialism we have had thrust upon us making us worse off? Has the foreign policy of appeasement and apology made the world a safer place? To put it more simply, are you better off now than you were six months ago? Unfortunately, the answer is not only “no,” but “much wo…

Last fall this column published an article on Swedish Socialism. Here is an article that is not really a followup, but again points to the problems with European style Socialism that our president is so in love with. This time case in point, Denmark. So, as written by my colleague, Michael Cochrane . . . . . The other day I caught a portion of a story on NPR’s “All Things Considered” about tax rates in Denmark. It seems that ev…

…RN. All the DNC should do is read some of the comments written by the readers of both right and left wing blogs. The anger within the country is real. The people of this country do not now and have never wanted European style socialism. In fact, even within the hallowed bastion of the Democratic Party, the “People’s Republic of Southern California,” there is a growing grass roots movement against Obama’s radical policies. If that is not true, how…

…d support the rest of the world and put all nations on an even playing field. In fact, it can be argued that this was the main argument of President Obama’s speech before the General Assembly today. It is idealistically based socialism pure and simple. Unfortunately, Margaret Thatcher said it best. “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” And, that may be what is happening right now. The Fed cannot prin…

…8211; Adam Smith Since we know that people do not practice virtue, regulation is necessary to the success of capitalism. Even God knew we need regulation. He gave us the ten commandments! Barry Mary, I would have to disagree. Socialism and Communism require far more virtue than Capitalism. Capitalism expects people to behave selfishly, motivated by profit. Rule of law prevents cheating to channel the results of profit into an overall benefit for …
