“[State controlled] education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” – Joseph Stalin

 

 

"[I]f you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever.  But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with."

--Ronald Reagan

 

“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870-1924)

 

 

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

Seven Myths about Taxes for April 15th            By D. Eric Schansberg

1.) “I didn’t pay any taxes this year!” This irritating myth, often uttered around in early April, stems from a confusion between one’s tax burden throughout the year—and any additional taxes one must pay by April 15th if they didn’t pay enough earlier in the year. “I didn’t pay” usually means “I didn’t have to pay any more to Uncle Sam on Tax Day”.           (click to read more)

Public Ignorance Facilitates Un Democratic Change In Kentucky         by Richard Lewis

Kentucky citizens have little or no awareness of the creation of an internationally recognized trading system for CO2 credits, which, if allowed to take root in the U.S., will have a great impact on their lives, particularly since Kentucky is a coal-producing state.  While foreign citizens are debating the merits of pollution credits and how credit trading plans in Australia will or will not comply with plans being developed by State Governments within these United States, and while CO2 cap and trade legislation has already passed or is moving through 15 state legislatures, the issue is barely recognized by the citizens of Kentucky.             (click to read more)

 

Special sessions: The good, the bad and the ugly          By Jim Waters

Surely I’m not the only Kentuckian who remembers House Speaker Jody Richards promoting annual legislative sessions as the ticket to more efficient and cheaper state government.

Richards promised that annual sessions would give lawmakers the time needed to adequately address issues and greatly reduce – if not eliminate – the need for further tax-and-spending assaults on taxpayers, better known as “special sessions.”            (click to read more)

 

The Sanjaya Principle: Why Ron Paul Can Be Our Next President         By Jonathan David Morris

The 2008 presidential election is now less than 19 months away. As far as I’m concerned, that means now is the time to start planning how to destroy it.

Before now, I never would have written an article of this nature. Before now, I never would have imagined what I’m about to say could potentially have an impact. There is a reason third-option candidates never stand a chance in presidential elections, and that is because Americans not only like to vote for someone they roughly believe in—they like to vote for someone they think can actually win.            (click to read more)

 

 

 

 

While our justice system is being rearranged to accommodate a new collectivist social order our economic system is being transformed from one based on the ideals of private property to one of “public-private partnerships.”  Fifty years ago public-private partnerships were known as  fascist economics. –Michael Shaw

A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man ...which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.     -G Gordon Liddy


       "A fine is a tax for doing bad;
        a tax is a fine for doing good."

 

 

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.     -.George Bernard Shaw
