BCM HAS CEASED OPERATIONS POSTED BY ANN BARNHARDT – NOVEMBER 17, AD 2011 10:27 AM MST Dear Clients, Industry Colleagues and Friends of Barnhardt Capital Management,It is with regret and unflinching moral certainty [...]
Obama’s Antagonism to Jobs

Need Something Moved?
Some amazing video from Australia regarding their methods and capabilities of moving large items. Can you imagine how many governmental agencies in the US would object? Just trying to get permits would make such tasks impossible. Can you even count how many would be required? Never mind, just think of the political mess trying to [...]
“The more you regulate fat cats, the fatter the fat cats become.”
In a follow-on to the previous post, Michael Prell deals with the issue of how Occupy Wall Street Benefits Wall Street: Wall Street is one of the most regulated places in the country. And, while we creators in the real economy have suffered these past years, Wall Street has flourished. Household income fell 6.7% between [...]
QOTW – Government Regulation
The Daily Bell on regulation: Regulation is a fundamental dominant social theme of the elites and they will flog it until people wake up and realize that every law and regulation is merely a price fix.

Competing Philosophies of Government

A great deal. They operated on a set of principles that, like mathematics, was applicable in almost any situation, and across time. It is the [...]
Atlas Has Finally Sorta Shrugged.
Victor Davis Hanson provides some of Obama’s excuses for the economy being so bad: George Bush did it; the Republican obstructionists in the Congress who were wary of approving another $2 trillion in debt did it; the Tea Party did it; Standard and Poor’s did it; the Japanese earthquake did it; the Japanese tsunami and [...]
Darren Clark — Too Free A Spirit For US Rules And Regulations
As a golfer of sorts, I was intrigued by the manner in which Bernie Reeves related Darren Clark’s recent British Open win to the state of freedom in the US. Clark’s victory was certainly a popular one and now known around the world. Less known is the fact that he came to the US to [...]
Atlas Is Shrugging In The US And Flexing His Muscles Elsewhere
Ayn Rand was mostly correct when she wrote her magnum opus “Atlas Shrugged.” She was incorrect in one important area.

Atlas is shrugging [...]
