Main Street Voices: It’s Not Always Just about Taxes! Stop Slapping!
Hillary Clinton was doing a town hall the other night when she was asked about what to do with American companies who are sending their companies and ultimately jobs overseas. Her answer was, “We will slap an exit tax on companies outsourcing jobs.” Really? This will solve the problem? This is why we elect a…… MORE
Main Street Voices: Is the “Silent Majority” finally saying, “It’s Our Turn?”
I , like so many of you, watched in dismay as the Trump Rally was postponed this past Friday night because of the clash of protesters and rally supporters in Chicago.

Main Street Voices: The Debate Cage Match; Is This What We Have Come To?
Where was Hulk Hogan, or Randy “Macho Man” Savage last night when the Republican Debate was held in Houston.

Main Street Voices- How Much Audacity is Too Much for Trump?
As I watched the Republican debate from South Carolina last Saturday, I found myself thinking that I might be going back into my earlier years, staring at bullies calling names on the playground.

Main Street Voices- Who can Unite the Republican Party? No One!
One of the questions I hear being discussed constantly is, “Who can bring the Republican Party together?” my answer has consistently been, “No one.” Why, you say? Well, I think it is absolutely the wrong question. My response has been to ask the correct one which is, “Who can bring Americans together again over our…… MORE
