Texoma Patriots meeting tomorrow in Van Alstyne The Texoma Patriots will hold their monthly meeting tomorrow at Buck Snort BBQ in Downtown Van Alstyne tomorrow night, Dec. 3. The featured guest will be John Tamny who is the Director of the Center for Economic Freedom of FreedomWorks. Tamny writes and talks about the securities markets along with tax, trade, and monetary policy issues. In his latest book The End of Work — Why your passion can become your job, he contends that the definition of “work” is rapidly evolving such that more and more people are able to showcase their unique skills and intelligence in the marketplace. He contends that you can forget the doomsday predictions of sour -faced nostalgists who say automatization and globalization will take away your dream job. The job market is only going to get better and better. He argues in The End of Work that the greatest gift of prosperity, beyond freedom from painful want, is the existence of work that is interesting. Tamny is one of the main panelists each Saturday on the Fox News Channel's Forbes on Fox. He has also appeared on other networks including CNN, CNBC, the Comedy Channel, and the Fox Business Network. He is a retained speaker at the CFA Institute, the Federalist Society, and moderates and speaks at investor conferences on a regular basis.
He is also editor of RealClearMarkets, political economy editor at Forbes, and a senior economic adviser to Toreador Research & Trading. He received a BA in government from the University of TX at Austin and an MBA from Vanderbilt Univ’s Owen Graduate School of Management. According to George Will, “John Tamny is a one-man antidote to economic obfuscation and mystification.” The doors will open at 5 pm with the meeting starting at 7. Jim Smith offers a special price for the buffet on meeting nights. Everyone is welcome and there is no charge to attend the meeting. Donations are appreciated.

and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years. I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and
skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so--for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me. I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
