My column in today’s American Spectator discusses progressive cluelessness about how often they can pick the taxpayer’s pocket in order to fund frivolous luxuries:
Today I received an email from a cycling group to which I belong. It was marked ‘urgent’ and its subject line read: ‘Federal Bike Funding Under Attack Again.’ It implored me to […]

THE LEFT HAS BECOME COMFORTABLY DUMB
VIDEO: YOU UP FOR A $1.5 TRILLION TAX HIKE?
American Crossroads has put out a new video highlighting the fact that the “jobs bill” President Obama is promoting on his bus tour through Virginia and North Carolina is actually a tax bill. Among other things, the ad features Bill Clinton saying that tax increases are a bad idea in a recession, which Obama himself used to say […]
VIDEO: HERMAN CAIN INTERVIEW WITH WSJ
In this interview, Cain explains the differences between himself and Romney as well as the 999 plan. The interviewer tries to nail him on the math for lower income people but Cain makes him look like an idiot, showing that even people who pay no payroll tax now will still be better off under his […]
OBAMACARE’S LAST BEST HOPE
In today’s American Spectator I take a look at the latest constitutional straw at which ObamaCare advocates find themselves desperately grasping. It depends on the DOJ’s ability to prove the President lied when said the mandate isn’t a tax, plus selling the theory (raised by Judge Motz of the 4th Circuit) that the Supreme Court […]
VIDEO: OBAMA VS. OBAMA ON TAX HIKES DURING A RECESSION
Today, the President threatened to veto any budget coming out of Congress that doesn’t include tax increases. In fact, he is actually insisting on a gigantic tax increase.
Think it’s a dumb idea to raise taxes during a recession? Well, until recently, so did he. Here’s a clip from 2009 in which Obama said you shouldn’t raise taxes in a recession:
[ht […]
FOURTH CIRCUIT CALLS OBAMA A LIAR
When the Dems passed ObamaCare, they denied that the penalty for not complying with the individual mandate was a tax. They knew that would be politically toxic, so they justified the mandate by invoking Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce. Here’s the President denying that the penalty is a tax:
However, as the various ObamaCare lawsuits began working […]
THIS MAN HAS ACCESS TO THE NUCLEAR LAUNCH CODES?
Our President is beginning to scare me. He actually seems to believe that 80% of the American public supports tax increases:
The American people are sold … 80% of the American people support an approach that includes revenues and includes cuts.
The word “revenues” obviously means taxes, and if this guy believes this statement he’s nuts. He should not be […]
PSA: OBAMA HAS ALREADY RAISED TAXES
As the debt limit negotiations collapse because our President insists on raising taxes to the tune of $1 trillion (that’s trillion with a T), it’s useful to recall that this man has already jacked taxes through to roof.
ObamaCare is, for all intents and purposes, a tax increase disguised as health care reform. It was, in fact, the largest […]
YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE PAYING FOR MORE OBAMACARE ADS
Oh, you don’t want your money used to pimp a program that you don’t support? Still pissed off about AnDy Griffith’s grotesque propaganda last year? Tough!
The Obama administration is kicking off a nationwide ad campaign urging seniors to take advantage of free preventive services such as cancer screenings made possible in Medicare by the new […]
FUNNY VIDEO: A TAX DAY DREAM
For decades, our friends on the left have been trying to convince us that the government is our friend and that taxes merely amount to pitching in with our fair share. Mary Katharine Ham and the folks at the Daily Caller provide this little dream sequence about our special “friends” at the IRS.
