How Ridiculous is Net Neutrality? Let the Left’s ‘Consumer’ Groups Demonstrate
May 14, 2013 | Seton Motley |Editor’s Note: This first appeared in Red State. There are Leftist groups that claim the mantle of protecting the “consumer interest.” Asserting they exist to protect consumers from the abusive, evil acts of corporate America.

President Obama’s Inane Payroll Tax Campaign Ploy
December 7, 2011 | Seton Motley |We are currently having a rather asinine federal tax rate debate – how to offset on the federal ledger the one year extension of the payroll tax diminishment.
