Jack Kemp's Big Ideas
by Lawrence Kudlow
When I first visited with Jack Kemp in his congressional office in Washington, D.C., in the late 1970s, I couldn't help but notice the row of books on his desk. There was Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, Benjamin Anderson and Milton Friedman. And of course there was Jude Wanniski's "The Way the World Works."

Sir;... Just because Mr. Reagan beat the commies with defecit spending as socialism, or communism can never do does not mean he was not a dunce... He believed...He was a true beliver, and a dunce... And when the republican party realized they could make themselves rich on the public dime with defecit spending that they could make the poor pay back, then they did not need the danger of communism to make them do it, and do, and do it; with no good reason at all...They have used debt to ruin this country, our economy, and our government...They are very close to ruining the money supply completely... I hope they do... I would like them to explain all the billions in their banks when the money turns to paper...I would love to see them collect the national debt out of the hand full of people working decent enough jobs to still pay taxes... Only a dunce would ride this country into debt just to break the communists, when even without communism the Russians are still there, and still a threat...Where is the peace dividend Oh Gipper??? Where is the blessing of liberty, old fool???Maybe capitalism cannot live without enemies because as soon as it gets rid of one, it manufactures another...Thanks...Sweeney

Those dreams have been put on the bottom of the (I want list.) By the great god obamo and the obamaites. Obviously they all desire a high place in the kingdom of the ruling class whenever this so called president takes every right that we have away. Therefore they can sit in the tower of evil and to hell with the rest of us.
