640: The Thousand Yard Stare of My Cubical Neighbors



"

I actually have an article to go with that show title, but I couldn't help tying in the hopeless, defeated, noose tightening gaze coming from the employees of the company across the hall from us.

A couple of weeks ago Darren and I discussed how dissatisfied most people are with the work they do, but many of them feel trapped.

I guess they should feel lucky they have a job now that labor force participation remains so low.

But all I could think about was an article I just read about Social Security. I want to share my thoughts with you on today's show.

Life doesn't have to suck. You just need a little heart and a willingness to lay your future on the line.

639: Let's Talk about Subsidies



"

I know that most of you listening to the show today will be against subsidies but do you understand why?

It's one thing to say "taxation is theft" and then support that statement with an understanding that stolen money shouldn't be appropriated as a form of corporate welfare.

But do you really understand WHY we shouldn't prop up a company, market or industry? Do you know what happens in the economy when you do?

That's what I want to talk about today. We've got a great example in the news that illustrates the problem perfectly.

Also, I got a chuckle out of Walmarts latest attempt to combat Amazon. I'll tell you about it at the top of the show.

635: 100% Inheritance Tax? Why not?



"

I'm shocked we still have the conversation in 2017, but the fact is most people are ignorant of history and immune to good ideas.

Such is the case for Guardian columnist Abi Wilkinson.

Wilkinson laments the fact that so many people die with money in their pockets, choosing to pass it on to their family rather than giving it to the government to be redistributed.

So, why is an inheritance tax such a bad idea? Wouldn't it be better if Britains took the 77billion pounds gifted in inheritance each year and spent it on the welfare state?

Well, NO! If you want to understand why this is such a bad idea listen to today's show.

Should we repeal the 17th amendment? If your gut response is, "What's the 17th amendment?" then you need to hit play and listen to the discussion.

Lot's of great stuff today. I love days like this.

Enjoy!

634: Schumer Says Dems are "Namby-Pamby"



"

Apparently, the Dems think they lost the election because Americans didn't know what they stand for so, according to Chuck Schumer, they've rolled out a NEW, BRAVE and BOLD plan to win back blue collar workers.

What is this plan you ask? In short, new infrastructure spending, a raise to the minimum wage along with paid maternity leave and child care.

If you think that sounds a lot like Roosevelts "New Deal" it's because it is. This is the same platform Democrats have run on for decades. It's not new, brave or bold. Its a retread of old ideas.

632: Union Workers Lose as Teamsters Pension Defaults



"

Here's a question for you...

Why would the federal government pass a law to bail out a private pension program?

What business is it of the federal government (or any government) to involve itself in a private contract dispute?

Crazy as it might sound the feds, led by Bernie Sanders, is trying to pass the Keep Our Pension Promises Act which would provide a form of bailout to the Teamsters private Central States Pension Fund which currently pays out more than $3 for ever $1 it brings in.

It's a form government corruption, not at the hands of crony capitalists but by unions who made promises of fat pensions they could never hope to cover.

Is Maxine Waters running for President in 2020?

Lord, please say yes!

Can you imagine the hours of material a presidential run by Maxine would provide? She's a goldmine of political humor.

It's not impossible. She's headed to New Hampshire for a picknick to hobnob with the Democratic elites of Strafford County.

Here's me, crossing my fingers.

631: Social Security Headed for the Cliff...



"

What happens when social security starts paying out more than it brings in? It's going to happen sooner than you think.

Right now social security is projected to be upside down in just five years.

In addition, the Disability Insurance trust fund will start paying out more than it brings in by 2028.

Those who advocate for bigger government, more spending and big promises need to look at the promises they've already made but can't hope to pay for and those of you who think government promises equal guarantees need to take a hard look at our current situation.

Three things are going to happen over the next twenty years.

1. Taxes are going up.
2. Promises will be broken.
3. Standards of living will fall for many who thought their government guarantee would provide for them.

Don't fall victim to the lies our politicians tell us. It will cost you dearly down the road.

630: Another Prediction Comes True



"

Repeal and replace is now finished and the Senate is having trouble mustering the votes just to bring a repeal bill up for debate.

At this point, it's safe to say the congress is incapable of functioning.

Some of you could not be happier, and under normal circumstances, I'd be right there with you. But a repeal of Obamacare and a rollback of regulation combined with tax reforms are things I'd like to see happen. The problem is, Republicans don't.

If you ever thought Republicans stand for your values of limited government and free markets the last few months should be a huge reality check.

629: Elon Musk Calls for AI Regulation



"

If you want to know why someone would call for MORE regulation in their industry just follow the money.

Once a company has established itself in the space, controlling competition becomes a serious concern.

One of the easiest ways to prevent competition from entering the market is to petition the government to institute burdensome and expensive regulation.

The established company can afford to pay the cost associated with the regulation while the startup will struggle. It's an old game being masterfully played by Elon.

628: Dysfunction in the Halls of Congress



"

Normally I'd be excited. And maybe I should be. Obamacare reform isn't going to happen. (Even if it does happen)

There's little to no hope of any tax reform which means no increase in the debt and deficit and...

There's no budget on the horizon which means getting big spending projects done is nearly impossible.

These are all good things, but it would be nice if, for once, Congress could get some significant spending cuts, tax cuts, and regulation reform accomplished.

This has been the Republican promise, but alas, as usual, their tough talk turns out to be just that, talk.

Today I want to talk with you about government lies and empty promises. We'll use the current state of affairs as our examples.

Happy Friday everyone. Enjoy!

627: Net Neutrality is a Silly Made Up Term



"

I'm so sick of hearing all the proponents of "net neutrality" complain about the FCC's attempt to remove hundreds of pages of unnecessary regulation.

None of them have the slightest idea what they're talking about. For starters 'net neutrality' isn't even a real thing. The Internet has never been neutral or even equal. That's because it's a free market and in a free market broad INEQUALITIES that exist.

Net Neutrality is a made up term invented by those who want to have the internet regulated for their own financial gain.

I've spoken about this at length in the past, but the trolls are back out claiming the "free internet" is going to come to an end when these regulations get rolled back.

Today I'm going to clear things up and give you the firepower necessary to teach the truth.
