Jean-Claude Brizard joins the race crowd, demands Bob Lonsberry be fired for criticizing school programs for teenage mothers

June 16th, 2008 · 5 Comments

I didn’t hear Lonsberry’s comments…

A Charity Bill That Would Keep People From Giving

May 11th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Rev. Dr Tommy Davis gave me the heads-up on this great article written by Deneen Borelli about the misguided California State legislation, the “The Foundation Diversity and Transparency Act” (AB 624), that would require charitable foundations with assets of $250 million or more to report the race, sex and sexual preferences of its staff, board […]

A special tax day gift, courtesy of Eliot Spitzer

April 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

So, today is the day where the state and federal governments demand we be forced to testify against ourselves so they can collect money from us. Those of us from New York know that we’re a special kind of state. A state where, any dime left in your pocket is a dime that Albany simply […]

NY: Stop Picking on Smokers

Faced with a $4.8 billion deficit, New York legislators immediately want “higher taxes.” Then they start to look around the room. “Who should pay these taxes?”
The tax hikes that give Albany emergency cash always seem to fall on the smokers. New York’s fiscal problems belong to everyone – not to a small portion of the population […]

It wasn’t about the topic he was meeting over this morning, expanding abortion […]

The politics of change

February 13th, 2008 · 11 Comments

Over the last few months, watching the party nomination processes for President, there is a resounding theme of candidates promising change.

New Tax York

January 23rd, 2008 · 8 Comments

So, Spitzer has unveiled his new budget proposal. It clocks in at a meager $124 billion, or about 5.1% more than last year. The proposal entails only going another $3.5 billion in debt that our children will have to pay off, after we have a fire sale and start selling off state assets. In addition, […]
