Happy Holidays

I said it. “Happy Holidays.” There now all the Christian organizations can boycott this site. Well, they probably already have because it is a site with LDS discussion. But now that I have wished you all a Happy Holidays, I am sure that I have lost you all. I just don’t get it. Sean Hannitty [...]

Paper Money – Final Thought

Just one quick quote before I leave this book as a discussion topic. “It is all the unfashionable Puritan virtues — work, saving, investment — that create the currency.” (p. 138, Paper Money, Adam Smith) Possibly Related Posts: Occupied Balance the Budget but Don’t Amend Open Letter to Carl Wimmer Is It Charity If It [...]

Paper Money – Debt

I was hoping to have the book with me as I wrote about this.  But I left it at home.  So, these thoughts and comments are coming from my memory. I was really drawn into Paper Money by the first few chapters.  Essentially, “Adam Smith” argues that the problem with our economy today is debt. [...]

Paper Money – Oil Prices

Honestly, I really don’t know much about economics.  I find it very interesting, and I want to know more about it. That’s why when I was at the local thrift store and I found a copy of Paper Money by “Adam Smith.”  I knew that Adam Smith is considered to be the founder of modern [...]

Poverty, Entitlement, and Sexual Predators

We had some friends over today.  They are conservative and hold many views similar to mine.  And the conversation turned to why we home school. (They are a home schooling parent’s too.) I told him that we finally made the decision to home school because there was way too many problems with the school.  The [...]

A Must Read: Bob Lonsberry on Tax Cuts

I am breaking three of my own personal blogging rules here. 1. I am commenting twice in a row about the same subject. 2. I am posting twice in the same day. 3. I am just giving a link with no commentary (sort of, some might consider this commentary). That’s how much I find this [...]

Response to T.O.B.A.C.C.O.

I rarely invite people to read other blog articles. It seems to me counter intuitive. After all, I am right on all things, so why would I want to send you to someone else for inaccurate and confusing information. However, I found this article so laughable, I figured that you all would enjoy a good [...]

Fair Tax. Are We Ready For It?

If you read any conservative blogs on the Internet, odds are you have read about the Fair Tax. I am actually surprised that it took my most recent article on taxes to finally bring someone out of the wood work on this site. Thanks Slam Smith for setting me up so nicely. First of all, [...]

Utah: Good for Business

Some have argued that Utah is not the right place for business.  We are too conservative, too religious, too weird. I have worked for two different companies here in Utah. Both moved their operations from the west coast.  Both of them chose Utah for a couple of major reasons.  The first is probably (I can’t [...]
