In Defense of Wealth Redistribution and Lift Ticket Welfare

July 25, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Over at True North Reports, the author of the piece I fisked yesterday wasn’t excited about the response he received. Some folks had questions or comments that he felt needed to be clarified. A tariff, a tax, a former president.

Maggie Hassan’s Latest Ad Says She’s Fiscally Responsible – That’s a Big A** Lie.

July 21, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Maggie Hassan has approved a new “message” with which to interrupt my television viewing. That’s not why, though I’d be flattered. No, the purpose of the ad is to lie about her record on spending and taxes.

July 15, 2022 Laura Colquhoun

Enough is enough! Mr. Fred Teeboom is taking the City of Nashua back to the Superior Court to enforce the Spending Cap correctly. It seems that this year the City of Nashua was creative in adding in grant fund expenses over which the Nashua taxpayers have no control.

Politicians Who Want Gas to Be Expensive to Investigate Why Gas is So Expensive

June 23, 2022 Auntie Vaquser

In Momma’s Broken Heart, Miranda Lambert sings, “Leave it to me to be holdin’ the matches, When the fire trucks show up, and there’s nobody else to blame.” Someone looks guilty, and maybe they’re are or perhaps not, but when it comes to high gas prices, it’s no coincidence.

Language Warning: The Joe Biden Inflation Rap!

February 16, 2025June 13, 2022 Steve MacDonald

I’m not a huge fan of Rap music. And I get that most of it is not written for me. So, it’s cool that other people like it (free country – barely – and all that). I’d rather listen to something else. This, however, speaks to me.

If Constitutional Amendments Are No Longer Absolute, We Can Stop Paying Taxes?

June 11, 2022 Steve MacDonald

President* Joe Biden has announced that the amendments in the US Constitution are not absolute. Like any good civilian disarmament Democrat, he’d like the government to manage what sort of “weapons” we’ll be allowed to have or use. I want to suggest whatever he left in Afghanistan.

Dover Says “It’s Not a Rain Tax” But Your “Taxes” Will go up Because of the Rain

June 6, 2022June 6, 2022 Steve MacDonald

May 30, 2022 Don

How rich, ignorant, and/or uncaring must people be to not realize that President Biden’s policies have been disastrous, especially for middle- and lower-income Americans? Today’s over 8% inflation means a family with a $60,000 income last year now needs an extra $5000 to maintain the same modest lifestyle. The gasoline price jump from $2.099, just … Read more

Quick Thought: So, Ukrainians Don’t Have to Pay Taxes on Captured Russian Tanks or Such?

May 14, 2022 Skip

Other than Letters of Marque in the US Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 11: To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water”), I can’t remember the IRS putting out such a notice that if you take an enemy’s stuff off the battlefield, you don’t have to report it.

April 21, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The Rhode Island Dems Echo Chamber must have very thick walls. Despite months of Doc drops from Pfizer revealing how unsafe and ineffective their COVID “cure” is we still got this. S2552 would mandate vaccination of everyone including kids 16 and older.

April 20, 2022 Ray Cardello
