My favorite 2008 Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee is
back with another
searing indictment of his
former Columbia classmate, with an oddsmaking twist.
Excerpt:
#2)
Taking risks is central to success. The Saints pulled the huge
Super Bowl upset by taking a huge gamble. Their onside kick to
start the second half was the key play of the game- and one of the
most daring calls in Super Bowl history. Obama doesn't understand
how important risk-taking is to success in life. [...]
#3) Sports gambling (and all forms of online gaming) needs to be
legalized. Our country is bankrupt. We need to use Nevada as a role
model for the nation and legalize, regulate and tax "sin," like any
other business. Legalizing medical marijuana and online gaming has
the potential to bring in $300 billion in new tax revenues. That
could pay down government debts, or allow us to lower taxes for our
hardworking American taxpayers. [...]
#5) Government wastes our money. During the Super Bowl I
witnessed a perfect example of why our government is broke and
failing...and why only the private sector can save our economy. I
saw a TV ad created by the federal government. It was an
advertisement for the U.S. Census Bureau. It was stale, stupid and
ineffective. But worse, it wasted $2 million of taxpayer money.
Yes, that ad cost $2 MM of your money. For what? This is how
government wastes your money every hour of every day. It's easy to
waste a million here…and a million there, when it's not your money.
Remember that joke about the difference between Vegas and D.C. This
is a perfect example of government bureaucrats gambling and failing
miserably with someone else's money- YOURS.
Whole thing
here. Reason's Rootiness
here.
