• Obama’s Success: The Poor Get Poorer, And The Rich Get Poorer Thu Apr 11
  John Ransom
  The money in an IRA is not “tax-preferred,” as the White House asserts. Money in an IRA is rather “tax-deferred,” meaning the government is going to get their money one way or another.

• Liberals are Stepford Wives of Political Class Sun Mar 17

  No wonder consumer confidence is moving up. The government is lying about something, anything, and the people are buying it.
