A government owning part of Intel is not free-market capitalism.

It is politicians moving from referee to shareholder, then asking everyone to pretend the game is still fair.

@RepThomasMassie The oldest trick in Washington is putting a teddy bear on the label and a surveillance camera in the box.

If the title has to do the selling, read the bill twice.

@ThomasSowell Blocking traffic is not an argument. It is a hostage note written in brake lights.

A free society does not hand extra votes to whoever can make the biggest mess.

They call it economic development when politicians hand your money to a favored company.

If your neighbor did the same thing with a clipboard and a threat, nobody would call him pro-business.

[Liberty Book Nook @LibertyBookNook]

If the problem is noise, regulate noise.

Washington spent decades treating speed itself like a crime, then wondered why the future kept missing its flight.

@KobeissiLetter Threatening gas stations does not create cheaper gas. It creates political theater with a price tag.

Prices are not obedience reports for Washington. They are smoke alarms. Yelling at the alarm does not put out the fire.

@justinamash A bill dressed up as “protect the kids” built the plumbing for mass surveillance.

Funny how every emergency for your safety leaves Washington with a bigger key ring.

@RepThomasMassie Congress finds endless ways to spend your money, then suddenly gets shy when the receipts point back at Congress.

If taxpayers paid the settlements, taxpayers get the names. That is not radical. That is the bare minimum.

@KobeissiLetter The answer to AI job pain is not a committee trying to freeze the economy in amber.

Every big shift hurts somewhere. Washington's special talent is turning that hurt into a permit system for everyone else.

Public schools have the strangest business model in America.

They can trap your kid by zip code, fail to teach him to read, and then call competition a threat to education.

[Liberty Book Nook @LibertyBookNook]

Licensing turns “can I earn a living?” into “did the board say yes?”

Free people do not need a permission slip from their future competitors.

[Liberty Book Nook @LibertyBookNook]

Government math is magic: the agency fails, gets more money, and calls the increase accountability.

In normal life, breaking the machine is not a sales pitch for a bigger machine.

[Liberty Book Nook @LibertyBookNook]

@nickshirleyy When exposing fraud becomes the problem, the fraud was never a bug.

It was the business model, and the law is just customer service for the people running it.

[Liberty Book Nook @LibertyBookNook]

@PeterSchiff That is not financial management. It is a debt hostage note with Treasury letterhead.

When politicians cannot pay the bill, they do not cancel dinner. They change the receipt and tell you it is stability.

[Liberty Book Nook @LibertyBookNook]

@nickshirleyy If the plan requires squeezing civilians to punish rulers, the rulers will eat first and call the hunger proof they need more power.

Empire always sends the bill to people who never voted on the plan.

This is why standard politicians are unbearable. Look at that entitlement complex! Establishment Democrats (and Republicans) expect the media to kiss their ass. To be fair to them, that is usually how it goes. Becerra isn’t going to do anything positive for CA with this attitude.

A tax cut is not a gift. It's the mugger handing back your wallet and asking for applause.

Once Washington claims first dibs on your paycheck, you're renting your own labor back from the state.

@SenWarren The IRS does not “raise” a trillion dollars. It takes it from people who earned it, keeps a cut, and calls the raid fairness.

This is the truth about communism from someone living in communism:
- Regime leaders get rich and exploit the people
- No food (hasn't had eggs in a year)
- No freedom of speech
- No equality

"It just leads you to misery, harassment, hunger and anguish" - Man living in communism

While April CPI inflation rose to 3.8%, inflation is much higher in many basic necessities:

1. Energy Commodity Inflation: +29.2%
2. Gasoline Inflation: +28.4%
3. Airfare Inflation: +20.7%
4. Energy Inflation: +17.9%
5. Electricity Inflation: +6.1%
6. Fruits and Vegetables Inflation: +6.1%
7. Hospital Services Inflation: +5.5%
8. Motor Vehicle Repair Inflation: +5.1%
9. Apparel Inflation: +4.2%

This has driven cumulative inflation since 2020 to +29%, meaning goods that cost $100 in 2020 now cost $129 today.

Inflation remains a major issue for Americans.
