AFP: Obama Connected to IRS Harassment

AFP: Obama Connected to IRS Harassment . The White House has tried to distance itself from the growing IRS scandal, but there is a clear pattern emerging that connects undue scrutiny from the IRS with President Obama’s own rhetoric.  It’s now clear that at the same time President Obama was attacking AFP by name, the IRS [...]

Tennessee Utility Rate Payers Being Swindled

September 26, 2011

10oz filets for $39.95
7oz filets for $33.95, a piece
2 rib eyes for $30.00 a piece
Lamb lollipop for $15.95
$27 worth of potatoes
$16.85 for pecan pie and ice cream

$490.20 total – including tip – dinner for six people.

Sound like dinner out for Hollywood celebrities or Wall Street tycoons?

Nope, just the dinner tab for local Tennessee utility officials while attending a conference in Nashville.

Government at all levels; federal, state and local continues to demonstrate a wanton lack of respect in how it spends taxpayer dollars. The problem is always this; when government officials – in this case public utility executives – get to spend other peoples’ money there will always be waste, fraud and abuse.

The solution is limited government and true free market enterprise.

Obama’s Proposed New Taxes Will Hurt Economy, Job Creation

September 15, 2011

President Obama argues that his jobs bill will be fully ‘paid for’.

If you are skeptical, you have every reason to be. The President argued his health care take-over would be ‘paid for’ as well; yet we know the truth. It was paid for by cutting Medicare by $500 billion and nearly the same amount in new taxes and fines. And even with all that, ObamaCare will add an additional $341 billion to the national debt by 2019.

The President intends to create no less than 14 additional tax burdens in order to ‘pay’ for his jobs bill – a bill written by special interests, for special interests – and these tax increases will do more to damage our economy and stunt job growth.

Help Stop NLRB’s Attack on Jobs

September 12, 2011

The NLRB is trying to shut down Boeing’s new plant in South Carolina, because they don’t like that South Carolina is a Right to Work state. This dispute serves as a prime example of the kind of regulatory overreach that is costing America jobs. Instead of expanding production at its unionized plant in Washington State, Boeing decided to build a new facility in South Carolina, a Right to Work state with lower labor costs and a friendlier business climate. The NLRB deemed this decision an “unfair labor practice” and then ordered the company to abandon the new facility in South Carolina.

Al Gore’s Hypocrisy Will Cost TN Jobs

September 07, 2011

Former Vice President Al Gore’s mansion, with over 10,000 square feet, was not big enough for a home office; so Gore recently purchased upscale office space in Nashville to tout his new ideologically-driven environmental agenda.

Gore’s message seems populist enough; according to an article in the Tennessean, Gore is going after oil and gas companies' reckless pursuit of profits.

What VP Gore does not mention is his solution: government programs, such as cap-and-trade and higher energy taxes that are intended to force American businesses and consumers (that’s you and I) to abandon our current energy supplies – oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear – for ‘green’ technology; solar panels, wind mills, and of course far less consumption.
