Straw Man Schneiderman and Hypnotist Holder
I’m still trying to recover from the over-the-top Hollywood-style movie script that The American Prospect published with protagonist NY AG Eric Schneiderman playing the role “The Man The Banks Fear Most.” That slap in the face left a handprint on my cheek! Clearly the objective facts, the track record, of the federal government demonstrate that […]
The American States of Taxation and Dependence
Originally published at Dena Gray I’ve been absent for the past several weeks and you can blame taxes. It’s that time of year, and up until yesterday, I was swamped with paperwork for three people and itemization that will make one’s eyes cross. This took up so much of my time and gave me multiple migraines, that […]
New Law To Protect Against Lawyers

A new law just signed by Governor Fallin in Oklahoma will make it easier for officials to open public buildings for storm […]

America the Fixable was just launched to identify solutions to some of the country’s most entrenched problems. This first month they are focusing on obsolete law. At this point, our country is basically run by dead people. Running government today is like trying to run a business using every idea every manager ever had. There […]
Over-Regulated America
What’s needed is a regulatory system that can focus on bad practices, not control all practices indiscriminately. Regulation needs to focus on results. Regulation fails because it is inept—crushing good activities while allowing bad ones. What’s missing is basic: human judgment about right and wrong. Nothing works without human judgment. Many lawmakers seem to believe […]
The Tyrrany of the Articulate
This book explores the topic of deliberative democracy in comparison to free markets. One of the great advantages of free markets is that they do not require us to be able to articulate what we want or why we think one good is more useful than another. All we need to do is […]
Iceland Loses Its Banks, Finds Its Wealth
What happens when “too big to fail” banks are too big to save? Iceland found out! Three banks had assets 11 times greater than Iceland’s GDP and couldn’t be rescued – and the country found their wealth! Could it be that Iceland is rebounding economically precisely because its banks went out of business? The greater […]
With Liberty and Justice for Some
On October 25th this book was published bringing the judicial system state of emergency to the forefront of discussion. The whole point of a legal system in society is to uniformly apply a set of preexisting rules to everyone EQUALLY. Inequality in every other realm of our lives is inevitable and […]
