Dear Senator Wyden: We thought better of you.

According to The Washington Post, the new Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, Senator Ron Wyden intends to give in to the army of corporate lobbyists and extend the corporate tax breaks that would cost taxpayers over $700 billion in the coming decade.  

Let Senator Wyden know that you do not approve of extending tax breaks for corporations.  Sign the open letter below. 

To: Senator Ron Wyden, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee

Subject:  Corporations do not need tax break extensions

We are more than disappointed to learn that you, as the new Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, intend to continue the old ways on corporate tax breaks. Extending the expiring tax breaks will add $50 billion to the budget deficit while serving no useful purpose. According to Citizens for Tax Justice, the so-called corporate research and development credit only subsidizes research that would have been conducted anyway, and is used for decidedly unproductive purposes such redesigning food packaging. Ordinary taxpayers shouldn't be forced to subsidize accelerated depreciation, or Texas and Florida's preference for a regressive sales tax over a more progressive income tax, or promote Nascar racetracks, electric motorcycles and golf carts. The list goes on and on, as you know well.

We strongly urge you to change direction: close corporate loopholes, tax overseas profits of US corporations, bring in revenue and increase tax fairness.

Sign the open letter now! 

 

Immigration Key to Indiana U.S. House Race

Vulnerable Indiana 2nd District Congresswoman Jackie Walorski is walking a political high wire when it comes to immigration: if she supports comprehensive reform, she’ll enrage her Tea Party base; if she opposes it, she’ll further alienate the growing Hispanic community in her district. Indiana ADA organizer Jeremy Bernstein explains the role immigration will play in the one of the mostly hotly contested House races in the country.

Last Day to Sign Up for Health Care

Today is the final day to sign up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).  If you haven’t already done so, sign up at www.healthcare.gov.  

What happens if you don’t sign up for health insurance?  Don't panic if you have tried but were unable to finish your application online because of technical problems.  There will be an extension for these individuals.  Otherwise, you won't be able to buy individual health insurance under the ACA except under special circumstance (i.e. losing your job, getting married, or moving) until the next open enrollment.  If you do not get coverage, the government may apply a fee of 1 percent of your annual income or $95 per person, whichever is higher.

So if you haven’t already, sign up now! (Unless you’re lucky enough to have Medicare!)

Fast-track your economic literacy:

Discover what most citizens and politicians alike don't know about Free Market Economics.

The Free Market Warrior Economic Literacy Seminar

1.  Can you explain why some tax cuts (Bush's second term, Obama's proposed) do absolutely nothing to stimulate the economy, while others (Reagan's, Bush's first term) provide a great stimulus?

2.  Were you taught in High School that the federal government needs to protect consumers from corporate monopolies that would otherwise be able to charge whatever they wanted?

3.  Were you taught that Roosevelt's New Deal saved the country by intervening in the economy and "stimulating" demand?

4.  Did you know that the biggest problem with American healthcare (one that is financially hurting us all) is that there is far too much insurance coverage?

5.  Would you be surprised to learn that the economic theories espoused by the current administration and congressional leaders were conclusively disproved more than 100 years ago?

 

"The greatest opportunity ever given to the world was thrown away because the passion for equality made vain the hope for freedom."
-Lord Acton

 

A free society cannot survive unless the people understand what is going on.  Loren Spivack, The Free Market Warrior, has committed himself to helping an entire generation of Americans understand how economics works.  The information is given in straightforward accessible format, with the goal of preparing a new "army" of regular Americans ready and equipped to fight for freedom, in that area where freedom is most crucial: our economic lives.

 

The seminar is given over two afternoons and divided into four parts:

1.  Intellectual and Historical Roots of Socialism: Understanding its broad appeal.

2.  The Intellectual and Historical Roots of Capitalism: Why we'll starve without it.

3.  The Source of Value: Two contrasting views and their implications.

4.  Applying the Principles of Freedom to the Problems of Today: Taxes, Education, Health Care, Protectionism and Outsourcing, Population, Natural Resources and many more.

Praise from previous seminar participants:  

"Loren has amassed a great deal of relevant knowledge of economic systems and how they relate to governments and individuals.  He does a great job of communicating in an easy to understand manner by providing clear examples from history to buttress his reasoning." 

Rick Sheppard, Hickory NC

"Everyone in the USA needs to hear your lectures, and soon!" 

Tom Winslow, Newton NC

"Mr. Spivack has a remarkable grasp of the principles of free market economics along with a wonderful talent for making these ideas relevant and accessible to people in their everyday lives.  His seminar is a must for anyone who wants to really understand what going wrong in America today, and what the solutions are." 

Bettina Greaves (Former personal secretary to Nobel Prize winning economist Ludwig Von Misses)

"Time wisely spent."

Jon Reynolds, Charlotte NC    

"I really feel like I am now armed for battle! 
I am a Free Market Warrior!"

'God lives, and it is all true': Glenn reflects on the passing of his father
Last Wednesday, Glenn shared a poignant message on his Facebook page that explained he was "chasing the sun" as he flew from New York City to Washington state to join his siblings at his father's bedside as he neared the end of his life.

Obama Administration to regulate… cow flatulence
Just when you thought you had seen it all, the White House has vowed to regulate cow flatulence as part of its climate agenda. According to the Daily Caller, as part of its plan to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, the Obama Administration is targeting the dairy industry to reduce methane emissions in their operations. Forget about the fact that methane emissions are at all time lows, we need to spend time and resources targeting gassy cows. MORE

Did President Obama lie about what was discussed during his meeting with Pope Francis?
Following years of strained relations between the Obama Administration and the Catholic Church, Pope Francis and President Obama met for the first time at the Vatican last Thursday. The aftermath of the jaunt has resulted in a bit of a schism – with the Vatican and White House offering starkly different versions of Thursday's conversation. Who do you believe? MORE

This week, For The Record and Real News Investigates takes an in-depth look at the vulnerability of the U.S. power grid:
  • Wednesday @ 8pm ET: For the Record exposes how the U.S. electrical system is completely defenseless against attack. Find out how easily a small group of untrained gunmen could blackout our entire power grid, causing a catastrophe equal to that of a sophisticated terrorist attack.

Poe joined Glenn to discuss the crisis in Ukraine and the threat Russia poses not just to the region but to the world. WATCH

#FireEricCantor: The bizarre connection between Rep. Eric Cantor & George Soros
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) tends to fly under the radar, but it is important to remember he is essentially the heir apparent of Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH). Rep. Cantor is up for reelection this year in Virginia's 7th congressional district, and TheBlaze Radio's Doc Thompson joined Glenn on radio this morning to share some information that should ensure "there's no way [Cantor] wins reelection." What does Rep. Cantor, insider trading, and George Soros have in common? WATCH

Glenn: Our children win in the end… because of people like you
After reading an article on TheBlaze over the weekend about a veteran teacher who endured shocking intimidation after opposing Common Core, Glenn decided the best way to react to the madness was with his own article for GlennBeck.com. Read Glenn's response HERE.
