Libertarian Radio - Best of The Bob Zadek Show

In this episode, Bob is joined by Chris Edwards from the Cato Institute to cover farm subsidies and agricultural price supports. This is a huge federal budget item and ripe for total elimination. It is important economically but difficult politically. Let’s get rid of ethanol and sugar subsidies and all wealth transfers from lower income food buyers to middle and upper income farmers; from city dwellers and suburbanites to what is left of American Gothic. Bring back free market pricing.

Debtors are Sinners

Mortgages. Credit credit cards. CARD Act. Dodd-Frank. Laws for government to use to surreptitiously transfer wealth from Bob and other responsible citizens to defaulting borrowers. We lose our credit card mileage and free checking accounts just so that deadbeats and spendthrifts can walk from their debts. This Sunday, Bob will discuss how banks have become the weapon of choice for Liberal class warfare.

To slightly paraphrase Thomas Jefferson’s first inaugural address, “We are all Libertarians.” Are we? Bob will test the newly minted Republican “Pledge to America” against the Libertarian principles of Individualism, Individual Rights, Free Markets and Limited Government. Discover your inner Libertarian this Sunday at noon, where fun and freedom reign.
