I sent along some final thoughts to the editor of the business magazine for the American Chamber of Commerce in Georgia, Molly Curso. Here they are.
Final Thoughts
First, I would like to qualify my previous answer to question #2. I said markets were necessary for the middle class. I would add that free markets are best. [...]

Here is the third question posed to me by the editor of the business magazine Investor.ge, put out by the American Chamber of Commerce in Georgia.
(3) Why is it (the middle class) important? Can we say it is more important economically than socially or does it play an important role in both spheres? What is [...]
Continue reading about Is the Middle Class a Cause or Effect?
I recently got a request for an interview by the editor of a business magazine, Investor.ge. The magazine is produced by the American Chamber of Commerce in Georgia (the country). For those aware of recent events on The Middle Class Forum this is quite ironic. There is a recent commenter out there rolling his eyes [...]

Levin tends to speak of the Founders as if they were of one voice, and of course that is not true. This might be passed off as an omission by Levin, except that the most important issue splitting the Founders into two different factions was governance, and the majority were not in favor of the [...]

You might classify it under the category of misinformed distortion when Levin alleges government proceeded much as the Founders wanted up until the New Deal, but I’ll leave Founders intent out of this for now. The grand omission by Levin in his first chapter is faulting the New Deal for events that first occurred earlier [...]
Continue reading about Liberty and Tyranny – Levin’s Initial Omission
The first chapter of Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny is called “On Liberty and Tyranny.” The first paragraph starts off as well as an empiricist like me could hope for. Levin qualifies that there are more than one kind of conservatism. There is a significant omission in the list, but that is better saved for [...]

This officially begins the deconstruction of Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto by Mark Levin, which I am doing at the request from a conservative nephew. Here are links to background information I have provided for this deconstruction. Let me add that at this moment I have skimmed the book only. I will be reading [...]

This is the last bit of prep work before my deconstruction of the misinformation in Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny. To recap, my conservative nephew suspected that there was misinformation in this book and he asked me to evaluate it a few weeks back. It did not fit into my agenda for The Middle Class Forum [...]

On Wednesday (7/29/09) I was interviewed on an hour long radio program on WBCR, Berkshire community radio out of Great Barrington. The sound guy was listening intently in on the interview and carried on a conversation with me afterwards. He declared our government heading towards socialism, thinking that this was in agreement with everything I [...]
Let us assume that every interest group starts with the noble intent of our founding fathers. Many also share the same mistake made by the founding fathers. Uncovering how the founding fathers made their mistake clears up one general misconception I’ve seen from several sources lately, and two misconceptions embedded in the recent Hartford Tea [...]
