The so-called “Buffett Rule” would automatically subject anyone who has taxable income above one million dollars to a 30 percent tax rate regardless of how that money was earned. But, it is based upon the hope that Americans fundamentally misunderstand the way different types of income are taxed and the reasons behind these differences.

Whether you’re Catholic or Protestant, you have the same obligation to stand up publicly for what is right. Whether you’re Catholic or Protestant, you have the same responsibility to obey God’s call to be salt and light in a decaying and dark world. We may be faced with a pathetic choice between a bad and worse candidate for president, but the U.S. House and Senate races can still make a difference to block a bad agenda and even promote a good one.

Abandon antiquated notions of liberty. There’s nobody who can better plan, monitor, supervise, and assess your quality of life than a well-meaning government official, sensitive to your needs and fantasies.

Bill O’Reilly (Fox News) made our Framers proud when, on March 26, 2012, he correctly explained [probably for the first time ever on TV] the genuine meaning of the interstate commerce clause. O’Reilly’s guest was Big Government Progressive Caroline Fredrickson, Esq., of the inaptly named “American Constitution Society”. In trying to defend Obamacare, she said that our Framers intended to grant to Congress extensive powers over the “national economy”-even though founding documents clearly contradict her.

We don’t need the president or Sharpton or Jessie Jackson suggesting the majority of people cared less because the life lost in the Trayvon Martin shooting was that of an African-American youth. That suggestion is a lie. Perhaps it is intentional to keep the groups of people separated. Divide and conquer?

We the present day guardians of America must stand before the tsunami of anti-education that leads our nation away from virtue and into unrighteousness.

In my community we have some new, or in a couple of cases relatively new residents. While they may not get a plate of cookies, we need to get acquainted with them. These new residents actually do work like a dog because they are dogs. Not just dogs, but very special dogs. And while their occupations vary they are all extremely unique.

Crafting portfolio asset allocations is a combination of art and engineering. Just as a blending of colors can produce cerulean, so a blending of indexes produces a unique shade of risk and return. And these blended portfolios can be better than any of their components.

On APRIL 16, 1859, French historian Alexis de Tocqueville died. After nine months of traveling the United States, he wrote Democracy in America in 1835, which has been described as “the most comprehensive…analysis of character and society in America ever written.” Alexis de Tocqueville wrote: “Upon my arrival in the United States the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention…In France I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom marching in opposite directions. But in America I found they were intimately united.”
