2024 Campaign Tax Proposals Are Slogans, Not Real Tax Reform
by William L.

The “Prima Donna*” Complex
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES! by OPOVV, ©2013 (May 20, 2013) — We’ve all seen it: a person is elevated in position and turns into a Mr. Hyde.

We Outnumber AND Out-Gun Them
HOW MANY AMERICANS WOULD SUPPORT THIS PLATFORM? by OPOVV, ©2012, Presidential Candidate (Sep. 21, 2012) — Last week was my first large scale political rally. I didn’t notify the local police, nor did I bother with the local mainstream media. I didn’t inform radio or send out flyers. No, I just let the grapevine convey the…

The Shell Game
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOLD STANDARD? by OPOVV, ©2012, Presidential Candidate (May 12, 2012) — Points, margins, indexes, derivatives, liquidity, bonds, all hiding beneath a peanut shell.

What if OPOVV is Not the Next POTUS?
RESTORING THE REPUBLIC by One Pissed-off Vietnam Vet (Dec. 11, 2011) — Good question. Let’s talk turkey for a couple of minutes.

There is No Such Thing as a “Fair” Tax
IS ANY TAXATION THE ANSWER? by JB Williams, ©2011 (Jul. 14, 2011) — Nothing in life is more certain than death and taxes. But the notion that there is or will ever be anything fair about either of these life realities, is just plain foolhardy. Ever heard the phrase – you can’t get blood from…
