State Level Single Payer Healthcare?
States dabble in Single Payer Healthcare policies with little regard for the costs. September 18, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director at GWP New York and California both are considering measures to indulge a single payer healthcare system within their respective states while dodging the very important question of costs. Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders’ impeccable timing to introduce a single payer system federally with the recent ascension above $20 Trillion in the federal debt cannot be ignored either. Vermont tried, in fact, … [Read More...]
Interview: Entrepreneur Decoded
September 15, 2017 Interview with Bobby Casey & Siimon Sander of Entrepreneur Decoded Being an entrepreneur absolutely has its perks; otherwise Bobby would not be one. But there are difficulties, too. While he absolutely encourages people to take the plunge, it's equally important people consider the advice and experience of those already in the pool: be honest about the ups and downs. He discusses his experience as an entrepreneur and small business owner with Siimon Sander, as well as gives some insights on how he keeps his … [Read More...]
Left and Right Controlling People by Violating Property Rights
September 11, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP The total disregard for private property rights from both the left and right sides of the isle is very disturbing. This is what happens when you have a system totally structured around buying people off. Politicians buy off the poor vote with little welfare crumbs like food stamps. They buy off richer donors through regulations and pay to play; and sometimes with programs that funnel money to their industries. Whatever the case may be, the constant promising of other people’s … [Read More...]
Labor Day & Its Union Roots
The history of Labor Day finds its roots in union thuggery; but has since taken a turn toward favoring and encouraging commerce! September 4, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Labor Day is as good a reason as any to fire up a grill, but make no mistake, this is a byproduct of union thuggery. Labor Day is equally as good a reason as any to have a sale on goods and services! I’m all for good times and commerce, and I’m rather glad that’s the turn this particular holiday took. Let’s not be too quick to glaze over the history of … [Read More...]
Trump Administration Targeting Dissenters
Trump administration targeting dissenters using easily traceable technology. August 28, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Presidential administrations targeting dissenters is not a new phenomenon; but technology has enabled a whole new level of persecution. As far back as Woodrow Wilson, and as recent as Barack Obama, dissenters have been targeted by various administrations. Wilson created an entire department called the “American Protective League”. It was basically a group of private citizens who collaborated with the … [Read More...]
Cryptocurrencies Further Scrutinized by Government
Cryptocurrencies are further scrutinized by the same government that claims jurisdiction in other countries. August 21, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Cryptocurrencies continue to be targeted and scrutinized by the government, and the government has already demonstrated there are no lines they won’t cross to get this under their control. Right now, there is no actual policy in place, per se. There are demands placed on the DHS for policy and protocols, so all that remains to be seen. About two months ago, I wrote about … [Read More...]
ObamaCare and the Republican Failure to Repeal
Republicans fail to deliver on the primary promise they made to the voters: Repealing ObamaCare. The cost of that failure will fall squarely on the shoulders of taxpayers. August 14, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP The ONE issue that got Republicans elected was the promise of repealing ObamaCare; and that turned out to be a monumental failure. Congress members went from an overture of anti-ACA rhetoric and promises of rescue, to equivocating on the finer points of the proposed bill, to ultimately failing to pull … [Read More...]
Venezuela’s Continuing Economic Collapse
Venezuela's economic collapse is a series of examples of what NOT to do in central planning, if not an outright indictment of central planning itself. August 7, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Venezuela's economic collapse is consistent with every other socialist experiment. When crude was high and Venezuela was at its prime, all the socialists came out to celebrate and hail it as a successful socialist experiment and a palpable check-mate to critics. Not so fast… We’ve been following Venezuela and while there was a … [Read More...]
Universal Income & 100% Inheritance Tax?
People suggesting a universal income and 100% inheritance tax are out there, and aren’t being ignored entirely. July 31, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, GWP Managing Director A 100% inheritance tax and a universal basic income have to be the most preposterous escalations of welfare I’ve heard! That they aren’t being laughed out of the room, but rather that such proposals are being taken to heart quite seriously, is rather disheartening to say the very least. The idea that everyone is simultaneously entitled to an income, while not entitled to … [Read More...]
How is MAGA Working Out?
The path toward MAGA doesn’t seem to be very “great”. July 24, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Donald Trump ran on the promise of MAGA (Making America Great Again). While I may be very cynical toward the United States today, I don’t deny that there were several great aspects of the American experiment that I wouldn’t mind bringing back. But it’s clear that MAGA is the “Hope and Change” of the Republican Party. It’s really whatever you want to project upon it. You want it to be an audit of the Federal Reserve and a return … [Read More...]

Unlikely Alliances Forged in the “American Sanction Club”
American politicians have taken a sour position against several countries, but our sanctions are forging unlikely alliances amongst those in the “American Sanction Club”. July 17, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, GWP Managing Director Despite the hard line western politicians draw against Russia and China and even Iran, if you throw enough countries in the same cell, you will inevitably see unlikely alliances emerge. The US hasn’t a leg to stand on when it comes to humanitarian alignments in its foreign policy. So the idea that the US has some … [Read More...]
Innovation and Adaptation are Key to Surviving Market Changes
Market forces insist that businesses and people remain vigilant in their innovation and adaptation to new conditions and advancements. July 10, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP The market is calling for innovation and adaptation. Some creative destruction is afoot, and it is necessary. Something needs to come along and shake the complacent inert space trash and change the trajectory a little. Earlier, I wrote a piece about the lackluster performance of the US first quarter performance and the changing attitudes of the US … [Read More...]
Happy Brexit 1776
by Bobby Casey On July 4th, 1776, the document penned by Thomas Jefferson known as the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the original 13 United States of America. It was signed by 56 delegates of the former British colonies as an act of defiance against Great Britain. It was a defining moment that has had a lasting impression on the world ever since. The most famous signature on the document was penned by John Hancock. The signature was so famous that even today we ask people to put down their “John Hancock” to sign important … [Read More...]
Google is Another Example of EU Folly and Plunder
EU deals search giant, Google, a $2.7 billion penalty for favoring itself over its competitors. July 3, 2017 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Google just got slapped with what might be one of the biggest penalties in EU history. What it has done is in direct violation of the EU’s… Altruist Rules. Until now, I didn’t realize they had those. But they do! They have been charged with “unfairly directing users to its own products rather over those of its rivals”. Google “must comply with the ruling and ‘end the conduct’ within 90 … [Read More...]
