“It’s about fairness. It’s about equal application of the law,” Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, March 2012
Los Angles Police Chief Charlie Bech must resign.

However, the Chief Beck will only ignore the law for a select group of people in Los Angeles County. Continue reading Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck panders, breaks the law and must resign.→
By Thomas Sowell, March 14, 2012 — There have been many frauds of historic proportions — for example,
the financial pyramid scheme for which Charles Ponzi was sent to prison in the 1920s,
and for which Franklin D. Roosevelt was praised in the 1930s, when he called it Social
Security. In our own times, Bernie Madoff’s hoax has made headlines.
But the biggest hoax of the past two generations is still going strong — namely, the
hoax that statistical differences in outcomes for different groups are due to the way
other people treat those groups.
The latest example of this hoax is the joint crusade of the Department of Education
and the Department of Justice against schools that discipline black males more often

“In all countries, in all centuries, the primary reason for government
to set up schools is to undermine the politically weak by convincing
their children that the leaders are good and their policies are wise.
The core is religious intolerance. The sides simply change between
Atheists, Catholics, Protestants, Unitarians, etc., depending whether
you are talking about the Soviet Union, the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
America, etc. A common second reason is to prepare the boys to go
to war and the girls to cheer them on.” ~ Marshall W. Fritz (1943 -2008)
The Dept. of Agriculture runs the food stamp program which helps people buy food and patronize fast food places, etc.
The National Park Service posts signs that say “Please Do Not Feed the Animals because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.”
This seeming irony is resolved simply by noting that the Park Service animals can’t vote.
“If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal.
If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative.
If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate.
If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist.”
~ Joseph Sobran (1946- ) American Journalist
“[Obama] supports corporate tax reform that would reduce expenditures and loopholes, lower rates for people investing and creating jobs in the U.S., due so further for manufacturing, and that we need to, as we have the Buffett Rule and the individual tax reform, we need a global minimum tax so that people have the assurance that nobody is escaping doing their fair share as part of a race to the bottom or having our tax code actually subsidized and facilitate people moving their funds to tax havens,” Gene Sperling, director of the White House’s national economic council said.
I guess the in the United States 47% who pay no taxes are going to see their taxes go up a lot.
So much for the Obama White House not wanting to raise taxes.
“As a result of the $3 billion in cuts, first-class mail that used to take just one day to deliver will now take two to three days. Stamps will also rise in cost by 1 cent to 45 cents, starting next month.” (Link)
Slower service and increased prices. A recipe for success from a (pseudo) government entity.
“The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.” – Ernest Hemingway
