The new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) (YouTube)
(CNSNews.com) — Given the political kerfluffle over President Trump cancelling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Claif.) congressional delegation (CODEL) trip to Afghanistan, it is interesting to note that a 2015 CODEL to Italy and Ukraine by Pelosi, as documented by Judicial Watch, cost the Air Force alone $184,587.81 in expenses.
“Speaker Pelosi has a demonstrated record of abusing the perks of office that give her access to military luxury travel paid for by taxpayers,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a press release.
It’s tax-filing season, which is going to be great news for millions of Americans.

Last July, DNC Chief Tom Perez made an election pitch based on despair: “Too many members of our society are still struggling to find a good-paying job.” His assessment was quite the contrast to a little place we like to call “reality,” where unemployment is at record lows and wages are up due to competition for talent. The only ones taking away jobs are Democrats imposing unrealistic minimum wages in blue states and cities. Dems are hoping for recession, after all. A month into 2019 and three months removed from the Democrats’ win in the House, where do
A radical element has seized control of the Democratic Party, and they are taking aim at successful American who create jobs.
Many political pundits are calling their plans the latest rebranding of socialism. Liberal Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is pushing for a “wealth tax.” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris are chanting “Medicare for All” and upstart Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants a 70-percent “rich tax.” The one thing all of these socialist proposals have in common is that they will take money out of the pockets of top earners who create American jobs.
Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania Pennsylvania is Still in the Bottom Twenty for Business Tax Climate
Every year tax dollars are used to bribe businesses to come to or stay in Pennsylvania. The General Assembly, the Governor, and local governments may call it “economic development” but it’s another version of engaging in central planning for economic growth. Based on lackluster job growth, and an ever-dwindling population you would think that our elected officials would have learned their lesson after fifty years of failure; they haven’t.
For evidence of their failure, look no further than the Commonwealth’s rank in terms of overall business tax climate. According to the Tax Foundation’s latest analysis, Pennsylvania ranks thirty-fourth out of the fifty states for business taxes. An
WHEN PEOPLE SEE OTHER PEOPLE DOING SOMETHING THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE REGARDED AS UNUSUAL IT’S NOT UNFAIR TO WONDER WHERE THE HECK THE MONEY CAME FROM.
If you see someone that has been driving around a beat up old car or something like that and all of a sudden they are driving a brand new vehicle you might wonder where they got the money for it.
Anything that people perceive is free isn’t really all that free because the money to pay for it has to come from somewhere. You get a free airline ticket in a raffle, that money has to come from somewhere.

The U.S. economy is roaring like no other time in recent memory. The job market is hot, unemployment is down to record lows, and small business optimism is soaring.
But this newfound dynamism didn’t come from nowhere. It required a package of market and consumer-friendly reforms passed by Congress and adopted by the Trump administration. These reforms have boosted economic freedom.
According to The Heritage Foundation’s 2019 Index of Economic Freedom, America’s economic freedom has seen a dramatic boost—from 18th place in the world to 12th place in the span of just one year. America’s score ticked up by more than a full point from last year, reaching the highest level in eight

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; I have been reading your blog for years now. It is obvious that you are well connected behind the curtain. It did not take but perhaps a day or two after you explain the difference between wealth and income to suddenly see Elizabeth Warren adopting the position to impose a wealth tax of two percent on people with assets of 50 million or more. Will this not cause the rich to leave as they did in France?
Thank you for the enlightenment

ANSWER: Warren’s proposal is not only going to be the final nail in the coffin of
According to new report from the Wisconsin Policy Forum, 2018 was the seventh consecutive year of declining tax burden in the Badger State.
Wisconsin’s tax burden – defined as state and local taxes as a share of income – fell in 2018 to its lowest level in nearly 50 years, the Forum reports.
With a new governor being sworn in Monday who’s pledged to raise taxes and a divided government for the first time in 10 years, economic and political analysts remain uncertain as to whether Wisconsin will continue its trend of having another consecutive
