Tim Poole Quote

Oct 24, 2018 ~ Stossel again sounds the alarm over underfunded state and local pensions - why is no one addressing a foreseeable disaster - '10 years from now, they're gonna have a problem but 10 years from now somebody else is going to be in office' [Debt, John Stossel]
Oct 16, 2018 ~ Stossel, 'Socialism Destroys'. Gloria Alvarez from Guatemala said 'I watched democratic socialism fail in Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Chile, Nicaragua and Uruguay'. Applauded every time, fails every time. Countries dems say are socialist are not. [Socialism, John Stossel]
Sep 23, 2018 ~ Stossel explains again why 'price gouging' after a hurricane is a good thing - 'Gougers deserve a medal' said Milton Friedman - a guy drove 600 miles with generators after Katrina - was thrown in jail - no one got needed generators. [Economics, John Stossel]
Aug 25, 2018 ~ John Stossel, 'Social Media Trickery' - examples mount of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google banning or limiting conservative speech - not qualified to police speech and should not try. [Tech Bias, Silencing, John Stossel]
Aug 18, 2018 ~ John Stossel, 'Social Security Fail's - Stossel tries once again to warn about the coming insolvency of Social Security and Medicare - no one is courageous enough to address the problem. Any cuts would be demonized even though unsustainable. Democrats say spend even more. [Entitlements, Economics, John Stossel]
Aug 4, 2018 ~ Stossel explains again why increasing minimum wages in restaurants would do more harm than good - where it was tried hundreds of restaurants closed, hours were cut, etc. - did not lower harassment either [Minimum Wage, Economics, John Stossel]
Jul 2, 2018 ~ John Stossel, 'Shut Up, They Explain' - The left continues to shout down speeches, block access to speeches, falsely call people like Heather Mac Donald an 'anti-black fascist' and nazi when they are the ones being violent and abusive and prevent freedom of association.

May 15, 2018 ~ John Stossel, 'Hating DeVos' - Taxpayers spend $634 Billion per year on education, tripled over 30 years but test scores stayed flat - DOE spends $193 Billion, DeVos wanted to cut but got $2 Billion increase - Charter schools deliver better results. [Education, John Stossel]
Apr 29, 2018 ~ John Stossel, 'Teachers With Guns' - Stossel argues its not as crazy as it sounds - most of the objections to the idea are not even how it would even work. Absent each school hiring full time security, it's the only way to have quick enough response time to an active shooter. [Guns-Mass Shootings, John Stossel]
Apr 23, 2018 ~ John Stossel, 'Selling Hate' - Stossel explains how the Southern Poverty Law Center set itself up as the arbiter of what is a hate group - SPLC is itself a hate group that unfairly labels Christians and Conservatives as hate groups. [Fake Hate Crime, John Stossel]
Apr 20, 2018 ~ John Stossel, 'Hidden Taxes' - John Stossel demonstrates how the government imposes many many taxes that most people don't realize are there - most people paying 50% in taxes or more - taxes never go away even when their original purpose is done. [Taxes, John Stossel]
Apr 1, 2018 ~ Stossel on why exiting the Paris Accord was absolutely the right thing to do - almost no one but the US had to do anything they weren't already going to easily do - AND they're still failing - and it would make no difference anyway. [Climate Change, John Stossel]
Nov 30, 2017 ~ John Stossel, 'The Evil Rich'. Democrats 'routinely portray rich people as parasites who take from other people.' The rich don't get rich by taking more of your pie.

Oct 21, 2017 ~ John Stossel 'Times' Green Baloney' New York Times and CNN lie about Pebble Mine in Alaska which was needlessly stopped by Obama.

Sep 28, 2017 ~ John Stossel, 'Disabled by Government' - Universities have made vast amounts of courses available online but are having to take them down because they don't comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and its too expensive to add captions to all. Unintended consequences. [John Stossel, Regulations, College, Education]
Sep 3, 2017 ~ Price Gouging - John Stossel tries to explain yet again why the anti-gouging laws are counter productive in a disaster. If prices are not free to equalize supply and demand, shortages result blocking people who really need something, enabling people who don't need it to stock up. [John Stossel, Economics]
Aug 1, 2017 ~ John Stossel, 'Chomsky's Venezuela Lesson' Left Wing Useless Idiots like Chomsky, Moore, Penn, Stone still won't admit Venezuela is another massive failure of Socialism as it predictably descends into poverty and chaos.

Dec 17, 2016 ~ John Stossel, 'A Strong Leader'. Stossel naively assumed that the collapse of the Soviet Union would make it obvious to everyone that socialism kills prosperity and freedom. If that didn't, then the poverty in Cuba, Cambodia, Tanzania, Somalia, North Korea, etc. would [John Stossel, Socialism]
Dec 1, 2016 ~ John Stossel, 'Thanksgiving Tragedy' - Pilgrims started with socialism and many starved - 'tragedy of the commons'. No one had incentive to work.
