Obama, America's Peron

Economist Scott Grannis: "...it is with great concern and sadness that I see a creeping Peronism happening in the U.S. economy under President Obama. Consider this latest headline: "Obama to Announce Contraception Rule ‘Accommodation’ for Religious Organizations." What business does our president have telling organizations and insurance companies how they should run their business, what kinds of healthcare policies they can offer, and whether or not they can charge for contraceptive services? This goes way beyond right-to-life issues, religious freedom, and the ObamaCare mandate...It's all about whether we are going to have our economy and our personal decisions micro-managed in Washington. Are we ready to embrace Peronism? " Read it all.

Rubio: Already a tropical storm

Marco Rubio is a already a  political tropical storm and before long the Florida senator could become  a political  hurricane.  He told CPAC: "Unlike any leader in modern American history, we are led today by a president that has decided to pit Americans against each other. The basic argument he is making to our nation is that the reason why some of us are worse off than we used to be is because other people are doing too well. That the only way for some of us to do better is for some people to do worse.
"Do you know what the most powerful thing about our nation is?” Rubio continued. “It’s the American example. The fact that anywhere you go in the world, people know that there is someone just like them, living here, who is doing things that they cannot.
“Do you know why people sacrifice their lives and struggle to access democracy and free enterprise around the world? Because they see what it has done here. They see in the American example what can happen when anyone from anywhere can accomplish anything they want. They see what it means. And they want that for themselves.”

The Acadamy of Dung Beetles' Award  is being rolled towards billionaire Nick Hanauer who  has stern words for  mere "millionaires" -- it's time to pay your fair share in taxes. Hanauer sold his Internet media company aQuantive to Microsoft for $6.4 billion.  OK Nick -- you want " fair?"  Then start by  writing  a check to the Treasury for -- shall we say-- $2 billion?  That's less than 30%.  Hmm, I thought not ...
