Private Aid to "Burma" Stopped by Gubment, US Senate Hinting at Windfall Profits Tax on Oil Companies, Govt to Decide Who Lives

Check out this story from the Washington Post, a story for which the author actually observes that private charity is ALREADY moving, and is being STOPPED by government. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/07/AR200805...

Also, on Wednesday, May 7, the US Senate started seriously looking at levying a "windfall profits" tax on US oil companies, because... the government wants to... um... help lower the cost of... oil and gas?

And oh, in case you thought the gubment would save you from things like the Bird Flu (which, we all know, will destroy the world tomorrow), re-think that if you're old, "mentally infirm", really young, or, just, not liked by gubment!

Clueless Constitutional Scholar McCain Proposes MORE Federal Involvement in Health Insurance Industry
As Gard has spelled out in "Live Free or Die", the health care market is a market just like any other. Government manipulation of it has increased costs, decreased choices, and led to even more cries from Americans that they need help. As the vicious cycle continues, the same government pinheads who caused the problems now step up to "solve the problems of the market". Anyone with any understanding of the history of federal health insurance legislation and its negative consequences knows that if the market were LEFT ALONE, it would reduce costs, and increase efficiency.

1-24 Decrim Pot, Soviet NH

For those who adhere to the Golden Rule, and try to promote the principles of individual liberty, the idea that one should be free to do whatever is peaceful is axiomatic.

For politicians, this is more difficult to grasp. Listen to Gardner Goldsmith and his friend Matt Simon as they discuss a move to lower the penalties for marijuana possession in NH.

1-23 NH Gov's Socialism

On 1-23-08, Gardner Goldsmith grappled with the reality that the governor of his state is a total and utter smeeeee-heeeeeeed, as Kryten would say.

Check out the analysis of John Lynch’s “state of the state” address, and then take a listen to Gard with a rep from the Center for American Progress, as the leftist tries to battle Gard’s free market mind!

Grab Gard’s book, “Live Free or Die”, at AMAZON.com!

1-22 Bernanke's Folly!

On Tuesday, January 22, 2008, Gardner Goldsmith decided to begin a series of programs on the folly of central banking. Ben Bernanke’s announcement of a .75 cut in the Fed Funds Rate was a good way to begin.

Check it out, plus a conversation about the NH Guboment trying to intervene in peacefully arrived-at loan rates for so-called “payday loans”. Good stuff from “Against the Grain” and www.libertyconspiracy.com!
