How to fund education in a free society

15 Sep

Another commission.  Puleez!  The only solution to “school funding” is to make each government school a 501(c) 3 tax exempt nonprofit funded by tuition, grants, endowment income and other non-coercive means.  No more commissions, no income tax, no school property tax, no more politicians running schools, no more federal government mandates,  no more state mandates…and finally teachers in control of curriculum and other educational matters and accountable to parents for the quality of their teaching.  As far as the educational needs of low income students throughout the state, families would create co-ops to educate their kids.

If you support the above proposals, you are a “revolutionary” who wants to create a free society.  Otherwise, you are a tinkerer of the status coercive quo.

“As the Senate President Steve Sweeney has the power to get his school-funding reforms enacted into law; instead he’s proposing setting up yet another committee…”

The sharing economy booms for boomers

23 Jun

Free enterprise in action.  Entrepreneurship addresses people’s needs better than politicians and bureaucrats. 

There’s an old business opportunity that’s getting a lot of attention from young companies. Thank baby boomers.

Hillary Clinton: queen of the non sequiturs

11 Jun

At yesterday’s Planned Parenthood conference Hillary Clinton said the following:  “We need to defend Planned Parenthood against partisan attacks. If right-wing politicians actually cared as much about protecting women’s health as they say they do, they’d join me in calling for more federal funding for Planned Parenthood.”

Hillary Clinton the law school graduate, must have flunked constitutional law.  Where oh where in the US Constitution, specifically Article I, Section 8, which outlines the authorized activities of the federal government, is a woman’s health or a man’s health or a child’s health the responsibility of the federal government.  Cleverly, Hillary and her ilk, including Republican politicians, support the notion that if people have a  “need”, there must be a federal government program to deal with it.    This is unadulterated Marxism:  From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

And that’s the real issue facing America–the Marxist culture that is now mainstream.

If Hillary and Bill and Chelsea want to help women, they should use their multi million dollar foundation to address women’s health issues.  That’s the right way to help women.

Who is responsible for the well being of children?

06 Jun

A new report about children poverty in New Jersey is discussed here.

According to Cel Zalkind, the executive director of Advocates for Children of New Jersey, which issued the report. “Looking at how do we help to lift children and families out of poverty needs to be a priority for our state.”  (emphasis added)

Why is the State of New Jersey responsible for the well being of children?  Which means the state should take money from Peter and give it to Paul.  In other words, legalized theft is a justifiable means to help parents raise their children.  Parents are responsible for their children. Parents bring children into the world and it is their moral obligation to raise them not you or me.  The Advocates for Children should spend their time helping couples become responsible parents and not advocate for more socialism.

Alieta Eck’s remarkable campaign

14 Aug

Despite losing to perennial candidate Steve Lonegan in the Republican United States Senate primary on August 13, first-time candidate Dr. Alieta Eck garnered 21% of the vote.  With virtually no statewide name recognition and a paltry campaign war chest, Alieta received nearly 30,000 votes.

Republican primary voters have a choice to make

12 Jun

When he ran for Governor in 2005, Steve Lonegan finished in fourth place.  Then he took a job with Americans for Prosperity and outside money flowed into New Jersey.  With AFP’s money, Steve Lonegan did some good things for the conservative movement in New Jersey, but along the way it became more about Steve Lonegan and less about the movement.

Ayn Rand, Jesus and the morality of the welfare state

16 Jun

In the summer of 1969, my wife and I were visiting her sister’s family in Utica, New York.  One day we took a ride to Syracuse and stopped in a bookstore where I bought a copy of Ayn Rand’s Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal.  Having been a history major and interested in economic issues, I eagerly read the collection of essays by Rand, Alan Greenspan and others.  I especially was intrigued with Alan Greenspan’s “Gold and Economic Freedom,” where he makes the case that the Federal Reserve’s easy money policies of the 1920s caused the boom that led to the stock market crash.

Why abolishing the welfare state is the right thing to do

07 Feb

If you think government is a competent solver of social problems, think again.  The Star Ledger reported (“N.J. tax to help low-income people pay cable TV bills was instead used to plug budget hole,” Feb. 6) that a fund established in 2006 by the Corzine administration to help low income and disabled New Jerseyans pay their cable bills has never been used as it was intended.  In addition, to add insult to injury, the Christie administration “raided” the $9.4 million fund to balance this year’s state budget.

A proposal to restore liberty and free enterprise

09 Dec

The following is an overview of  my presentation to both the Middlesex County Tea Party and Americans for Liberty this month.  The title of my talk is “How to get from here—big government—to there—limited government.”  The talk contains suggestions to end the welfare-warfare state and replace it with a constitutional republic.  At the end of the talk I suggest several books and essays for the attendees so they can become better spokespersons for the freedom philosophy. I am available to give this presentation to your association, group, wedding party, etc.

If ObamaCare is Bad, What Would Be Better? By Dr. Alieta Eck, http://www.aapsonline.org

ObamaCare is a wildly unpopular law for anyone who knows anything about health care.  The election proved that.  Physicians came together in Washington, DC to film the following national ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPwEVXstFdA&feature=youtube_gdata_player Perhaps it is time for the politicians to admit that the government cannot provide health care.  Period.

Self-financed candidates could have used their money to provide health care for the uninsured

06 Nov

In the past decade, self-financed candidates, Michael Bloomberg, Jon Corzine, Meg Whitman, Linda McMahon and countless others spent collectively nearly one billion dollars to run for political office.  Mayor Bloomberg spent $250 million to win three terms as mayor of New York City.  Jon Corzine spent $131 million to win a U.S. Senate seat, the governorship of New Jersey and then failed in his reelection bid in 2009 despite out spending his rival Chris Christie by more than $12 million.
