    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864


    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Is This the Democrats’ Occoquan Candidate?

I just received word that Jeff Dion, an attorney and president of one of the Lake Ridge HOA’s, has been telling people as recently as a week and a half ago that he would be a candidate for Occoquan Supervisor.  Is this the Jeff Dion that participated in Earnie Porta’s commuter competition?  The Jeff Dion who [...]

Gov. Timmy! wants Lingamfelter and Frederick out

Gov. Timmy! has called for the ouster of PWC GOP Dels. Scott Lingamfelter and Jeff Frederick.  If he were really serious about addressing transportation in Northern Virginia, he wouldn’t be so hyper-partisan and instead work to find common ground.  A comment that he made with regard to the Tyson’s Tunnel in that article is equally [...]
