Filling in for Rush Limbaugh last week, I had a number of calls from angry members of the middle class who feel they cannot get ahead because the government stands in their way. It reminded me of something I wrote back in 2012, which I think still stands the test of time. There is a growing frustrating within the middle class that Washington is subsidizing the middle class to keep the middle class. In the process, it has prevented members of the middle class from even daring to compete with upper income voters.
In essence, the Democrats and many establishment Republicans, have constructed a complicated system to keep the middle class from ever competing with them and their children. The upper income earners and elite, whose children are members of the “Lucky Sperm Club,” can give privilege, benefits, and jobs to their children. Chelsea Clinton and Luke Russert can get great gigs with NBC because of their dads. The children of the rich now get massive access through their parents’ campaign donations and political involvement. The parents, in turn, through campaign donations or their positions in government, can also construct Rube Goldberg legal farmeworks to keep those beneath them on the economic scale from ever advancing. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Police arrested a lady in Atlanta yesterday for blocking traffic as protested the minimum wage outside McDonalds. She told the WSB reporter who interviewed her that “without struggle there is no progress.” Then she said she wanted the government to force McDonalds to pay more “so I won’t have to struggle.”
If you are working your tail off and doing the best you can and, perhaps you have to rely on family, friends, charity, or government to get by, as I said on Rush’s show, that’s not failing. That’s working. And work is rewarding. But if you are in your thirties, making minimum wage in a career, and standing on the street demanding the government do something about it, yes, yes you have failed at life.
Luckily life is longer than failure and you still have time to turn things around when you’re in your thirties. But you’re definitely failing. If you think it is the government’s job to force your employer, who is more likely than not paying you before he pays himself, to raise your wages, you’ve got a problem and it is not your employer’s problem and it is not my problem. Without struggle, there is no progress. Forcing your employer, via government action, to pay you more is not struggling. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Barack Obama Admits Immigration Reform is a Political Issue
This move by the White House shows everyone what you and I have known all along – immigration reform has never been about doing what’s morally right. It’s about building up a voting base. The funny thing is that the Republicans were suckered in to thinking it would expand their voting base. Even Marco Rubio, who has otherwise been a great force in the Senate, took the side of the reformers (all for the right reasons, but working with people who had no interest in doing things the right way, but simply wanting a conservative, Latin-American face for their amnesty push). . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Five More IRS Employees’ Emails “Lost” – It Is Time For An IRS Special Prosecutor
The IRS targeted conservative groups in order to silence the opposition during the 2012 election cycle. This isn’t really in dispute beyond the left wing progressives, the Obama Admin, and the media, but I repeat myself. Enough evidence, circumstantial and hard, has been presented, including the physical destruction of a government issued BlackBerry, that Republicans should demand a Special Prosecutor. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Putin takes a slap at Obama in Estonia
Late last week, Obama gave speech in Tallinn. It was the typical Obama speech: long on treacly rhetoric and short on substantive actions. In it he specifically told Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania that NATO would stand by them under Article 5, the article covering collective self defense, of the North Atlantic Treaty. That was Wednesday. Today Vladimir Putin sent his answer. As to be expected, he wasn’t shivering with fear and trepidation. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
