Have Europe’s wealthy jumped the shark?

David Dufour — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 02:59:39 +0000

Tax Me More, Europe’s Wealthy Say – NYTimes.com. First it’s Warren Buffett, now this. For most of these folks (check the article), they have the option of paying more if they really want to, so why don’t they? Hitting the super-rich with more taxes plays well at cocktail parties and down at the union [...]

Donnelly isn’t running on his votes for healthcare and spending

David Dufour — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 12:45:02 +0000

Joe Donnelly’s ominous warnings about Jackie Walorski aiming to privatize Social Security are nothing but nonsensical distortions designed to needlessly terrorize retirees.

Joe’s TV and radio ads say that Walorski wants to “risk your guaranteed benefits in the stock market” where “up to 40 percent” of retirement could be lost. Let’s see, government has [...]

Steny Hoyer has a word for you: SUCKER

David Dufour — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:06:07 +0000

Breitbart Reports: Just in case you thought you were under the threshold for a tax increase, Steny Hoyer has a word for you: sucker. See, even though Obama wants to extend the Bush tax decreases a little longer (say, until sometime after the election), Hoyer says we can’t extend them forever because that’s “too [...]

A few photos and a couple video & audio snippets from the Elkhart and Goshen Tea Parties. While I don’t necessarily agree with every sentiment displayed, this will give you the basic flavor of these events.

Obama to unveil another disaster

David Dufour — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 23:08:44 +0000

Obama to Unveil an Ambitious Budget Plan. Of course. Taxing the wealthy and businesses to cover the profligate spending just passed by congress. This man is bent on destroying the economy. No one who understand real economics can believe this is a good idea. This is not ambitious. It is malicious.

Andrew Sullivan, what [...]

Open Letter to Representative Joe Donnelly

David Dufour — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 18:24:39 +0000

Dear Rep. Donnelly:

A few weeks ago, you spoke to a local service club where I was in attendance. You spoke about the state of the economy and the reasons why you voted in favor of the $700 billion TARP bill, and in particular, about the need to increase our manufacturing base and investment [...]

The best economic stimulus is to cut taxes.

David Dufour — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 04:25:27 +0000

Joe Donnelly

Joe Donnelly’s call for tax cuts for the middle class is fine, but why not cuts for all, such as the people and companies the middle class works for? Public works projects, while they may be helpful, are not market-driven and are prone to corrupt management. Reduction in capital gains [...]
