Tuesday, January 11, 2022 End the Covid Mandates: They don't work SHARE
It's time to end the Covid mandates. At best, they prolong the death results a little. At worse, they are useless and just disrupt people's lives, perhaps fatally from other causes.
(3 comments)Friday, December 17, 2021 Only Covid Can Save America SHARE
Democrats are looking at a "shellacking" due to normal mid-term anti-party-in-power election results, disappointment with Biden, voter suppression and gerrymandering. Only Covid deaths may provide enough cushion in swing states to prevent Republicans from retaking Congress.

Tuesday, September 9, 2014 My interview by Jim Hogue, host of House on Pooh Corner, on Georgism, CAFRs, Sovereign Money, Public Banking SHARE
Monetary Reformer, Public Banking Advocate, Vermont patriot, and terrific Ethan Allen impersonator Jim Hogue had me on his radio show for the third time August 25, 2014. We talked for over an hour about a wide variety of things, mostly monetary reform related, but also Land Tax related. As you know, the NY Metro chapter of Common Ground voted to support monetary reform along Henry George's theories a few years ago, as well as the more traditional Land Value Tax agenda. Both forms of monopoly are very important to end.
