President Trump’s SOTU: Americans Are Dreamers Too

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: January 31, 2018

In spite of the fact that the speech was too long (any speech that runs longer than 7 minutes is too long) I loved President Trump’s SOTU. It was filled with a love of America, pride in our military, respect for our flag, and an almost mystical vision of the American people and their unique […]

How to Turbocharge the American Economy

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: January 8, 2018

Roughly half of the United States’ workforce depends on small businesses thriving. But high taxes and intrusive government regulations hurt these businesses and their workers. How would tax cuts for these small businesses benefit the U.S. economy and help just about everyone?

Berniacs Get Burned by Republican Tax Plan

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: December 27, 2017

Would Progressives support the Republican tax bill if they thought it was really a Bernie Sanders proposal? That’s the question filmmaker Ami Horowitz asks in his latest man-on-the-street style interview short. This time he queries passersby in New York’s East Village, a “liberal Mecca,” to see how uninformed and biased people are about the GOP […]

Loose Cigarettes, Taxes, Death — Welcome to Liberal Utopia

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: December 8, 2014

Who smokes? Mostly, the poor. Of course there are a handful of hipsters who sport clownish pork pie hats, and defiantly puff away, viewing themselves as postmodern James Deans. But really, it’s the poor and blue collar who indulge in the liberal sin of tobacco. Meanwhile, their liberal betters proudly sweat in gleaming gyms, or […]

2014: Here Comes The ObamaCare Tax Avalanche

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: January 1, 2014

Remember when Barack Obama swore up and down that the ObamaCare individual mandate was not a tax? Using sleazy-lawyer-speak, Obama called the ObamaCare tax, ahem, a penalty. Along came the Supreme Court and declared the individual mandate a tax. Surprise. That infamous decision allowed ObamaCare to become the law of the land. Obama lied. Again. Anyone […]

Obamacare: The Death Spiral

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: October 22, 2013

It would be a mistake for Obamacare’s opponents to focus on the dysfunctional Obamacare websites. The so-called glitches are not glitches at all, but symptoms of 2,7000 pages of Byzantine laws passed exclusively by Democrats — the first stage in the destruction of the finest health care system in human history. Radical leftists — […]

Obamacare: We Are All Equal, But Congress More Equal Than Others

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: September 16, 2013

Life under Communist/Socialist regimes proceeds along a simple but ruthless calculus of power: the political class does not live under the same laws as the rest of the people. Food shortages and famines are endemic under Socialism/Communism. But the ruling classes never stand on bread lines. Their children never starve to death. The Socialist/Communist elites […]

Passover 2013: Of Slaves, Slavery, Judenrat, Kapos and America

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 25, 2013

Tonight begins the holiday of Passover in which Jews celebrate deliverance from Egyptian bondage. In order to escape the shackles of slavery, the vast machinery of the mighty Egyptian state had to be crushed. Those who wielded absolute power were reduced to nothingness. G-d did this not only to diminish the physical power of a […]

Cyprus American Style

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 19, 2013

The Socialist government of Cyprus is planning on stealing money—they call it a tax—from the savings accounts of Cypriot citizens. People will lose between six percent and nine percent of their savings. Naturally, the government has closed the banks for fear of a run by depositors. They call it a “banking holiday.” Notice how the […]

Obama to Spend $1.5 Million to Find Out Why Lesbians Are Fat

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 12, 2013

Okay, Seraphic Secret admits that $1.5 million is not a lot of money. Not anymore. President Obama and the Democrats have so redefined the concept of money and debt, that anything below trillions and billions, is barely worthy of note. But this $1.5 million dollar grant—your tax dollars at work—to answer the burning question: why […]

About Me
Robert J. Avrech
Los Angeles, California
I'm an Emmy Award winning screenwriter. I'm also an observant Jew, a religious Zionist, a conservative Republican, and a member of the NRA. I've been writing and producing in Hollywood for over twenty-five years. But the focus of my life is my family: my radiant wife, Karen—with whom I have been in love with since I was nine years-old—and my two daughters, who, thankfully, look like Karen. Not too long ago, we had three children. But our son, Ariel, died at the age of twenty-two from cancer. We miss him terribly. We think about him practically every minute of every day. People tell us that time heals, but Karen and I know this is not true. Time grinds away doing its terrible work. Ariel is gone. Yet absence becomes presence.

Ariel Chaim Avrech, ZT'L, May His Righteous Memory be a Blessing.
