Nobody on our side is rich, and as we’re all being squeezed in the same vise, we’re all noticing that we have to be a bit more careful about how we spend our money these days, but we do need what we need.
As we do go about collecting these necessities, it’s important to remember that there’s only one way to invest your money after you’ve spent it. It’s probably the most important investment you can make, and possibly the only sound investment you can make in this uncharted future of ours. Continue reading “Patronize Patriots”
Due to the number of Americans murdered by cops after calling 911, I consider this as nothing less than a life-saving decision.
The Chicago Police department has decided to stop responding to select 911 calls. Apparently, they will not be responding to calls such as “criminal damage to property, vehicle thefts, garage burglaries, or other crimes in which the suspect is no longer on the scene, and the victim isn’t in immediate danger.” This is all so that “the equivalent of 44 police officers a day” will be available for patrol duties.

Having spent all the money they can possibly borrow, the West’s rapacious governments are, like a drug-addled addict, desperate for more. To that end, taxes are on the up and a mantra of wealth redistribution is at the top of political wish lists.
This is of course a woeful state of affairs as the ability of governments to spend other people’s money wastefully is endless. The ability of governments to spend other people’s money in a useful fashion has always proven limited. The road to prosperity involves empowering innovation, small business and bottom-up growth. Top-down government meddling and rapacious taxes don’t help. Continue reading “Why govt wants to steal your money”
