Regulation Nation: The Death of Opportunity
July 18, 2016 By: Bobby Casey GWP Managing Director While I listen to government advocates tell me how the police and regulations protect me and my family from the dark underbelly and dregs of society, I can’t help but wonder who comprises that felonious population. When I think about that from which a reasonable person […]
R.I.P. US Rule of Law
July 11, 2016 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Over the course of several years, I’ve watched as the US government and its lower tiers summarily wipe their proverbial asses with the rule of law. While I subscribe to a capitalist brand of anarchism, I am also practical. I do follow the laws. My businesses […]
Is Italy Indicative of EU Economic Policy to Come?
July 5, 2016 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Brexit was a great economic and political decision for the UK. I stand by that. While I see Remain people calling Leave proponents racists and xenophobes… I likewise see Leave people calling Remain advocates dotty millennials who haven’t the first clue what the EU is or […]
Brexit: Economics or Racism?
June 27, 2016 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP As you might know if you follow me on social media, I’m ecstatic about Brexit! My heart-felt congratulations to the United Kingdom for parceling off and getting out of the EU. As I wrote last week, I’m absolutely confident that the UK can stand on its […]
European Union: Should I Stay or Should I Go?
June 20, 2016 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP So Iceland bailed on the EU bid… Britain is soon going to have a referendum to leave the EU… and now Switzerland is withdrawing her bid for membership. I said it about Britain and I’ll say it about any other country walking away from the EU: […]
Symptoms of Distress
June 13, 2016 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP There are so many distress signals going off, I hardly know where to begin! These signals, however, all come down to one thing though: government failure. It’s like if you had a sore throat, body ache, and a fever… chances are they are all symptomatic of […]
Does Political Class Want Economic Calamity?
June 6, 2016 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP There’s a reason why I’ve opted out of US politics. It’s entirely predicated on scapegoating. Blame the democrats, blame the republicans, blame racism, blame sexism, blame the previous administration, blame the rich, or blame the immigrants. Always finger-pointing, but never solving anything. The reality is, the […]
In Memory of the American Middle Class
May 30, 2016 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP This is Memorial Day weekend. Many Americans will be barbequing and fondly remembering the fallen members of the US military. I will not be among them. Don’t get me wrong: I love me some grilled meat! But I’m not much for nationalistic pageantry. I don’t tow […]
Free Markets Making a Comeback?
May 23, 2016 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP I’ve never seen socialism bail out a country in dire straits. Every nation under economic hardship has largely relied on capitalism to save itself from total ruin. Individuals are the same way. Sure, there are the bailouts and the welfare programs, but even those run out […]
Money Laundering & Offshore Fear-Mongering
May 16, 2016 By: Bobby Casey, Managing Director GWP Of all the things to resent about former President Richard Nixon, tax evasion is not one of them for me. I know that’s not a very popular opinion, and while I in no way suggest you evade taxes, I personally don’t see it as a crime. […]
