the weeks first moment of clarity

This week’s first moment of clarity comes courtesy of my wife, Joanne, who astutely observed that politics is like a drug – too much of it causes you to do things you don’t want to do. She is right,…Continue

why do you think a monopoly is illegal?

Here is a question for you:  why do you think a monopoly is illegal?  Monopolies are not illegal because they are staffed with criminals, or because they are formed with criminal intent; monopolies…Continue

the weeks first moment of clarity

This week’s first moment of clarity comes courtesy of my wife, Joanne, who astutely observed that politics is like a drug – too much of it causes you to do things you don’t want to do. She is right, of course.  Politics drives honest people to lie, kind people to hate, optimists to turn dour, happy people to become angry, humble people to seek glory, balanced people to become obsessed, and content people to covet.    Timid people join angry mobs and shout vile epithets.  People who would not…See More

why do you think a monopoly is illegal?

Here is a question for you:  why do you think a monopoly is illegal?  Monopolies are not illegal because they are staffed with criminals, or because they are formed with criminal intent; monopolies are illegal because in the absence of competition, the monopoly ceases to serve any interest but its own.  Always.  We call our statutes that outlaw monopolies “anti-trust” laws.  How ironic, then, that so many of us trust our government – the ultimate monopoly – to regulate our corporations, the…See More

One Last Time

Monday's MOC post on the March BLS employment statistics for Wisconsin caused a bit of a stir, and since the April data will be published in between the recall primaries and the recalls themselves, this may be our last chance to cool heads down so they can prevail.   So, one last time explaining BLS data and that’s it from me.  Apparently, some people thought my link to a historical table in the other post was an attempt to trick the reader or invent my own data.  Believe me - I have neither…See More

Freedom Tax!

A friend of mine said today she considers her speeding tickets to be a “freedom tax” - the price she must pay to choose the speed she will drive on the open highway.  It reminded me that I have been blessed with an overabundance of very cool friends.  Naturally, our group chimed in and improved upon the idea, deciding we should all have the option of paying more for license plates with stickers that let us drive as fast as we want on highways.  Don’t even bother pulling us over – that defeats…See More

What Money Cannot buy

As long as we are going to spend the next several months yelling at each other over who makes too much and who makes too little, I thought it might be helpful to talk a little bit about what people actually make and why.   Let’s start with who makes the most money – according the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 42 professions whose median pay is $100,000 or higher.  Number 42 is nuclear engineer, and from there income rises in professions you would probably expect – pharmacists, lawyers,…See More

Speaking of Records

The headlines making the rounds in the blogosphere this week certainly sound damning:  “Corporate profits set 50-year record while unemployment tops 8%”.     It is a fact that the S&P 500 reported a combined $1.6 trillion in profits in 2011, the highest profits in 50 years, adjusted for inflation.  It is also a fact that unemployment remains above 8%.  Advocates for higher taxes add these two facts together to refute the notion that lower taxes stimulate job creation.        But there are a…See More

The "M" Word

One of the liberals’ favorite justifications for more government is that free markets can’t regulate themselves.   This argument betrays a fundamental ignorance of markets and a fundamental delusion about government.  And placing our economy in the hands of ignorant and delusional people explains how we arrived at our current economic quagmire.  In fact, it would have been quite the miracle if a century of increasing government interference into markets could have ended any other way.  The…See More

Who Saved Bentley?

Ok, here is a test for you - which of these year-over-year sales increase percentages reflects the correct performance of General Motors in February:  40%, 17%, 15%, 14%, 12%, or 1%?   If you picked 1%, then you are either very knowledgeable about the U.S. automobile industry or a regular reader of Moment of Clarity who knows I am about to obliterate our President’s ridiculous recent claim that he single-handedly saved the U.S. auto industry by bailing out the UAW and GM. The industry as a…See More

Work For It!

I don't know anyone - liberal, conservative, libertarian, or socialist for that matter - who believes that welfare is better than work.  Do you?  So if everyone agrees welfare is undesirable, why on earth are so many Americans on it?  That question will answer itself at the end of this column.  The dilemma of government-monopoly welfare for those who are able-bodied is that assisting people in need makes them needier; and dependence teaches dependence to people who need to learn to be…See More

Fun Job Facts!

There are all kinds of jobs – blue collar, white collar, private sector, public sector, full-time, part-time, and snow, just to name a few.  Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s political opponents are feasting on media reports that the state lost jobs during 2011, his first year in office.  Apparently, the “Obama rule” – a four-year blame exemption – does not give Walker until 2014 to be responsible the economic statistics on his watch, but different standards are nothing new in…See More

Church & State

A few hundred years into the Christian era, the merger of the Roman Empire and the Roman Catholic Church blurred the lines between church and state; it corrupted both, injured one and killed the other.  Thomas Jefferson didn’t have to be genius to figure this one out; he just needed to be moderately well-read.         The consequence of secularizing the Church while sanctifying the State back in those three-digit years plunged the world into a millennium of misery, ignorance, and oppression –…See More

I have a dream!

Remember these from school?  “Ask not what your country can do for you; demand it.”  “The only thing to fear is buying our own stuff.”  “Give me liberty or give me free stuff.”  “One if by land, two if by sea; get off that horse and buy my stuff for me.”And who can forget, “I have a dream…where you have to give me stuff.”What in the world has happened to us?  How did we go from Patrick Henry and Dr. Martin Luther King to some 30 year-old still-a-student from Georgetown going on national TV to…See More

Money Troubles

For a capitalist country, we sure don’t know very much about money.  It takes more dollars these days to buy the same amounts of oil, corn, wheat, copper, gold, silver, vacations, grapes, health care, timber, other currencies, ethanol and gasoline.  And yet we forget about all that other stuff and blame the high gas prices on the oil companies instead of the money monopoly that forces us to use more of their dollars to buy a gallon of gas.          Any currency is simply a unit of measure.  A…See More

Let Lying Dogs Sleep

Do you remember Michigan Congressman Bart Stupak?  He was the rarest of rare birds, a pro-life, pro-gun Democrat who had the stones to stage a Custer’s last stand against the Pelosi/Obama health care bill in 2009.     And for his trouble, former-Congressman Stupak got himself Custered.  He objected to language in the Patient Protection and Affordability Act – ObamaCare – that would permit abortion funding and force religious charities to fund contraceptive services in contradiction to their…See More
