It’s a neat trick if you can pull it off, which is apparently what the North Carolina Department of the State Treasurer did, according to a recently released report by the state auditor’s office. This from Forbes: In the report, the auditor states that State Treasurer Janet Cowell’s office failed to report $771 million in […]
Don’t be fooled by the smoke and mirrors. Beverly Perdue’s proposed budget isn’t saving any teacher jobs, opting instead to disingenuously pass the budget ax to local counties, including Mecklenburg. It’s the same stunt Democrat legislators pulled this year, when they raided lotto funds and used the stolen loot to “save” teacher jobs, but at […]
In my almost 30-year finance career I’ve worked with literally thousands of companies, and I cannot think of one instance where union involvement has been positive for a business.

Politicians like to call it “creating jobs” by “recruiting business” or “awarding investment grants,” which sounds a lot more wholesome and clean that what it really is, which of course is bribery.

Former five-term NC 8th District Congressional Representative and 1996 NC Gubernatorial Candidate Robin Hayes was selected on the first ballot by the North Carolina Republican Executive Committee. Hayes will now finish out the term of […]
Hats off to the folks at the N.C. Institute for Constitutional Law, who were in court this week battling corporate bribes, er, tax incentives and trying to clean up the lingering stench left by disgraced former House Speaker Jim Black. The NCICL presented oral arguments before a three-judge panel of the NC Court of Appeals, […]
If you’re reading this, then you are probably one of the thousands of people who’ve been awakened to the danger facing our nation. You’ve realized that in government, like most other things in life, if you want something done right, you’ll have to do it yourself. A vital step in this process is revitalizing the […]
