Unfortunately, US politicians aren’t as smart as Chilean politicians, and possibly not as honorable.

In 2005, New York Times reporter John Tierney worked out his own Social Security contributions on the Chilean model and found that his privatized pension would have been $53,000 a year plus a one-time payout of $223,000. The same contributions paid [...]

Time to Get Serious

All right! I’ve had it! I am sick to death of the socialists’ hubris, hyperbole, and hate. In the recent budget debates many ridiculous things were said by the socialists in Congress – socialists for this discussion being all the Democrats, the socialists, the communists, the Black Caucus, and Republicans In Name Only. These things [...]

A WORLD WITHOUT RULERS

Tasine — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 14:40:15 +0000

What is it that Americans REALLY want? Do we want strength in our leadership or do we want pampering? Do we see a big government as a strong government, or do we see a big government weakened by its size? Do we want quality health care for those who can afford it or do [...]

Tweaking the climate to save it: Who decides?

The Rebel — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 02:04:30 +0000

CHICHELEY, England (AP) – To the quiet green solitude of an English country estate they retreated, to think the unthinkable.

Scientists of earth, sea and sky, scholars of law, politics and philosophy: In three intense days cloistered behind Chicheley Hall’s old brick walls, four dozen thinkers pondered the planet’s fate as it [...]

Over the past few months, I established website No-Ruler.net with Blogger.

We have seen ever-increasing collectivism using the immoral Force of government to bring upon America an totalitarian government which has proceeded to set aside our Constitution. This is nothing new, but we have passed all possibility of return.

The collapse we have been writing [...]

I am always in favor of helping anyone who needs help. I am in favor of supporting them until they can get on their feet. I would prefer this were done privately whereby it would be voluntary giving out of love rather than by force of law. But even I, a person who opposes big [...]
