A listener sent us a story that she saw on Facebook explaining why socialism doesn't work.  Dennis and Judi read it on the air and listeners have been asking where they can find it. So here you go.

Monday on the air I mentioned a story in the Star Ledger praising ASSemblyman Lou Greenwald for his accuracy in pointing out how Governor Christie's new 10 % income tax cut would proportionately benefit millionaires. Well of course it would, they pay more taxes.

SOPA & PIPA are like trying to put a security guard in front of every candy bar in the world to keep them from being shoplifted. Here's why it can't work.

Yesterday I paid a landscaper a pretty penny to blow all of my leaves to the curb for the usual second pick up of the season, only to find out they will not be picked up. My next door neighbor called and the official answer he got is...."the town is broke."

I saw this scene from the movie "Back To School" with Rodney Dangerfield and it kind of reminded me of what's going on in our country right now. The "Super Committee" the President appointed to fix the massive debt problem we have in this county pretty much just threw up their hands this week because they can't come to any agreement.
