 A Liberal Dream Come True - 100% Tax on Income

100% Tax on income in France.
The French have certainly found the path to economic catastrophe.  This appears to be the dream of liberal voters in the USA as well as the President and his minions.


 Student Debt Bubble May Collapse the College Bubble.

Student debt in the USA weights on the economy and on the future of students and small colleges.
The bad news is that so many students fell for the mantra put out by the College for everyone Big Education crowd.  They left these hopeful kids with nothing but great self images well out of proportion to their abilities and relative skills compared to many foreign students.  The economic fallout of this is much lower rates of marriage, births, and household formation while at the same time we import low skilled illegals to replace the births, households, and take the jobs on the lower end.  The Good News.  Fewer college grads in the future portends fewer minds given indoctrination on left wing ideology through the four wasted years of multicultural and diversity training,  partying, and anti American inculcation.  Expect the Democrats to demand forgiveness of these student debts to keep the college bubble growing a while longer.


Officer Safety First Above All - Victims and citizens are at risk from the police.

Police officer shoots student hostage in the head to protect officer safety.  In what is becoming a new form of execution and a debasement of the protect and serve model the hostage takes a much lower place on the totem pole than the safety of the officer.  Read the article and see.  If if were possible for the officer to evade the gunman and not shoot the hostage in his panic to save his own hide this girl might be alive.  A UK tabloid has a more detailed story on the victim and how they were singled out.  One other thing to notice is that the gunman followed these girls back from a bar  where he watched them living it up.  Conspicuous consumption has risk attendant to it that often does involve envy and desire for sharing in that wealth.  This version of the story doesn't mention the police officer as the one that shot the student in the head. 


The Welfare State - USA

Educate yourself and the welfare state since we are just about 100% there.  Look to Britain as a great example.  The Welfare State by Charles A. Burris.
