The "New TEA Party" of the United Kingdom

___On 23 June 2016 the United Kingdom voted by a 51.9% majority to leave the European Union. This was a rejection of a remote and elitist government in Brussels, Belgium. It is proper for citizens to challenge a political cartel run amuck.

___The jury is out on whether the political cartel in the U.K. and U.S. (back of the line on trade) will accurately predict the planet's demise. Hopefully the world will ignore the Oracle of Gore and his followers!

___Sometimes the outcome is great as with the United States of America; sometimes it is not good as with the Confederate States of America, 8 years of Obama and over a century of Progressivism ("democratic socialism").

Quote of the Election

A taxpayer voting for Barack Obama is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders!

Robert Rector on Welfare Reform

"The Obama administration is waiving the federal requirement that ensures a portion of able-bodied TANF recipients must engage in work activities. It is replacing that requirement with a standard that shows that the pre-reform welfare program was successful and the post-reform program a failure. If that is not gutting welfare reform, it is difficult to imagine what would be."

Rector helped write the 1996 welfare law: "Working closely with members of Congress, I helped draft the work requirements in the 1996 law, and I raised the alarm on July 12, when the Obama administration issued a bureaucratic order allowing states to waive those requirements.

Bill Clinton vetoed the legislation twice before signing it the third time. He happily takes credit for the budget surpluses which began in 1998 and continued through FY 2001.

Thoughts From Neal Boortz

It is not wrong to distrust government. It is not wrong to fear government. In certain cases it is not even wrong to despise government for government is inherently evil. Yes, a necessary evil, but dangerous nonetheless, somewhat like a drug. Just as a drug that in the proper dosage can save your life, an overdose of government can be fatal.

Under our government's definition of "poor" you can have a $5 million net worth, a $300,000 home and a new $90,000 Mercedes, all completely paid for. You can also have a maid, cook, and valet, and a million dollars in your checking account, and you can still be officially defined by our government as "living in poverty."

To determine whether or not some poor soul is "living in poverty," the government measures one thing -- just one thing. Income. It doesn't matter one bit how much you have, how much you own, how many cars you drive or how big they are, whether or not your pool is heated, whether you winter in Aspen and spend the summers in the Bahamas, or how much is in your savings account.. It only matters how much income you claim in that particular year. This means that if you take a one-year leave of absence from your high-paying job and decide to live off the money in your savings and checking accounts while you write the next great American novel, the government says you are living in poverty."

How to React to PPACA

Lincoln said: we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

The Obama Administration has chosen to pick and choose which laws to enforce - immigration and DOMA for example. States now need to follow their example - especially if the Federal law is an unfunded mandate.

Pigford vs. Glickman - Redistributing Wealth

"In 1997, 400 African-American farmers sued the United States Department of Agriculture, alleging that they had been unfairly denied USDA loans due to racial discrimination during the period 1983 to 1997." The case was entitled "Pigford vs. Glickman" and in 1999, the black farmers won their case. The government agreed to pay each of them as much as $50,000 to settle their claims, but then on February 23, 2010, something shocking happened in relation to that original judgment: In total silence, the USDA agreed to release more funds to "Pigford". The amount was a staggering ... $1.25 billion. This was because the original number of plaintiffs - 400 black farmers had now swollen, in a class action suit, to include a total of 86,000 black farmers throughout America. There was only one teensy problem: the United States of America doesn't have 86,000 black farmers!

According to accurate and totally verifiable Official USDA 2007 Census census data, the total number of black farmers throughout America is only 39,697.

How are Shirley Sherrod - who's family received $13 million - and Senator Barack Obama involved?

Thinking is permitted at all times! Where in the Constitution can an Executive Department of the government operate as a bank (other than the Federal Reserve created in 1913)? So the Department of Agriculture starts lending money and, the American taxpayers lose $1.25 billion in a civil suit!

Medicare is Broke! Annual Report says

Leaving Medicare and the PPACA unchanged requires either dramatic tax hikes or harsh cuts–immediately. “The 2012 report states that bringing Medicare Part A into actuarial balance would require an immediate 47 percent increase in the payroll tax or a 26 percent cut in Part A benefits,”
