Government of Virgin Islands issues order allowing authorities to seize guns ahead of Hurricane Irma
During disasters and extreme weather, people often find their own government is a greater source of danger than their weather concerns. Every government ultimately comes for all property, all money, all freedom, and to kill or cage all who resist. Governments frequently wait for opportunities to disarm their subjects, and natural disasters provide one of …

More proposed violence against climate change skeptics
Science is skepticism. A true scientist proposes hypotheses and challenges the whole world to show the hypotheses wrong. He invites debate. A true scientist never proclaims he is right based on a ‘consensus’ or a committee vote. Under the scientific method, even a single observation contradicting a hypothesis is enough to scuttle the hypothesis. But …

Americans now spend more on taxes than on food and clothing combined
America rose to prosperity, abundance and prominence with some of the world’s lowest taxes and the fewest regulations. Property rights and a climate of individual ingenuity and industry brought Americans the world’s highest standards of living. But the past two generations have seen America’s progress arrested. Now taxes take almost half of many Americans’ income. …

Hope for Denmark: Danes Seeking to Throw Off Government Shackles
Throughout the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s the people of Denmark were the most capitalistic on earth. Their merchants sailed the seas and transacted in goods throughout Europe and the rest of the world. The people of Denmark (and Scandanavia generally) became the richest on earth. That foundation of wealth sustained them throughout the 1900s. But …

Only 19 percent of wage gains from minimum wage increases go to families in poverty
Trusters of government often claim that government-imposed minimum wages help the poor. But research has shown that minimum wage laws harm the poor by completely locking them out of the bottom rungs of the economy. Minimum wage laws cause unemployment rates to increase, especially among the poorest and most desperate Americans. Only 19 percent of …

Complexity of U.S. Tax Code Causes $67 to $378 Billion in Annual Accounting Costs
To put numbers in perspective, the entire state budget of Montana is less than $5 billion annually. Many other states operate on annual budgets of less than $5 or $10 annually. A study by the Mercatus Center has recently found that Americans spend $67 billion to $378 billion in annual accounting costs in the process of …

Government agency caught falsifying temp records near Flagstaff, AZ. “Adjustments” were designed to bolster ‘global warming’ claims
The heroic data analyst Tony Heller will someday be seen as the man who almost singlehandedly brought down the government’s apocalyptic-manmade-global-warming-by-CO2 hoax. Heller painstakingly combs through temp data provided from government agencies such as N.O.A.A., and shows how the government’s adjustments tend to be designed to bolster the government’s climate claims. Now Heller has found …

77 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Whenever government expands, people become impoverished, dependent, sick, weak, diseased, trapped, and less mobile in every sense. CBS Moneywatch has released a report indicating that “[a]lmost 8 out of 10 American workers say they live paycheck to paycheck.” Government taxes, regulations and central banking savagely punish savers, so most Americans save little or nothing. Studies …

Study: those with health insurance receive no greater health benefits than those without
Government programs and policies allegedly aimed at keeping Americans healthy achieve the very opposite result. Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare all subsidize demand without increasing supply, causing prices to rise. The result is that health care has become absurdly expensive. Consequently, almost no one is able to purchase health goods or services as needs arise. So …

New report confirms that electric cars have larger “carbon footprint” than gas or diesel cars
U.S. taxpayers have been forced to subsidize government “alternative energy” schemes on a truly massive scale. Tesla and its overpaid CEO Elon Musk have milked taxpayers already for almost a billion dollars. Tesla manufactures expensive electric cars–sold primarily to the super rich–with the massive support of U.S. tax dollars. One could say the program is …
