I have torn through another mind blowing section of this book the last few days en route to coming up with my second review. Part 1 mostly dealt with how the immigration wave started and who all is coming over our borders. This part goes a little more in depth and on some of the elements at the beginning of the book, how and why the immigration problem is happening, and some of the consequences. We can already see some of the consequences first hand after the Census Bureau came out today…

Immigration. If it wasn’t for our economic feels-like depression, this would be issue numero uno for the majority of Americans. It is a very divisive issue, but one that the majority of Americans do agree with on one side of the issue – illegal immigration has got to stop and stop now. However, this book does not strictly target illegal immigration. This book, published in 1995, takes a look at the whole immigration mess that has been created since Lyndon Johnson signed the Immigration Law…

Ok, so two nights ago I wrote a little bit about the history of the income tax, and what it has exploded into today.

I have found a way that will both help me learn a great deal more about history, economics, and politics, while allowing me to elaborate on what I have learned and try to tie everything in to how our world is today. My first book on the list was The FairTax Book, written by Neal Boortz and John Linder. This book came out back in 2003 and I originally read it back in 2006 when I was first starting to get…

This is what our nation’s capital has become. In all honesty, the news seems to get more and more ridiculous with each passing day. We have a president who states we need to make “sacrifices” to get through this tough economy, yet he continues to take high-end vacations while hosting numerous White House parties – including the latest one with “bumps and grinds”. He then has the nerve to complain about being “treated like a dog” while he continues to blame every current problem on George…

Well, my original intention for my next article was going to be geared towards America’s educational problems. We’ve seen articles here and there that briefly detail some of the current problems our schools face even though educational spending continues to grow exponentially. To be honest, I was a little overwhelmed at the amount of information regarding this subject. In order for me to write a…
