The U.S. needs a flat tax (hat tip Viking Pundit):
The flat-tax revolution in Eastern Europe is particularly compelling. Nine nations from the old Soviet bloc have adopted the flat tax — which taxes income at one rate — and others are poised to. In an ironic twist, these countries are rejecting the class-warfare politics [...]

Hope you and your families are having a nice Christmas and holiday break! Blogging will be light for the next week as I will be traveling to Pennsylvania to visit with family. I am taking a wireless laptop, so if I can find a wireless connection I may put up some posts.
I also got a [...]

Please take a moment to view these images (includes audio). Many won’t be so fortunate to be home for Christmas or other holidays (via the Riehl World).

Gateway Pundit has the an update on Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, better known as Kos of Daily Kos. I have to hold my nose every time I go over to Daily Kos to read. In general, the writings at the site are just not very smart and show the left at their most angry and intolerant. [...]

To aggressively try to force their compensation packages even farther above the free market rates - at the height of the holiday season - just comes off [...]

For some reason, union workers think that they deserve the privilege to walk away from their jobs for awhile if they don’t like how things are going at work. Unfortunately, labor laws since the 1930s say that this is okay for workers in unions (of course it is not okay for most people, who do [...]

Compare GM to Toyota:

So while unions force GM to pay far above market wages and benefits, in the long run it hurts workers. GM is on the verge of bankrupcy and is about to drop to the #2 automaker in the world behind Toyota. GM will continue downsizing and many workers will lose their [...]

In Pennsylvania, U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III writes:
“Our conclusion today is that it is unconstitutional to teach ID as an alternative to evolution in a public school science classroom.”
I agree with this, although certainly the controversy should be allowed to be taught. So this becomes part of a civics lesson rather than a [...]
