By Robert J. Avrech | Published: October 15, 2018

If you get sick or suffer a serious injury, you not only want medical care, you want quality medical care. What’s the best way to get it?

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?

Americans Spend More on Taxes Than Food, Clothing, Housing Combined

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: April 7, 2016

As law-abiding citizens, Karen and I collected our tax statements, itemized charitable deductions, carefully listed our business expenses, and sent them to our accountant a few weeks ago. There is a kind of horror that sets in when you are confronted with just how much of your hard-earned income goes to state and federal governments […]

The Crazy Man on Ocean Parkway is Back!

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: December 1, 2015

When I was a child, there was a bum — a homeless, schizophrenic, alcoholic, malodorous, hysterical bum — who used to show up on Ocean Parkway and Avenue N in Brooklyn, my neighborhood, my hometown, my world, my universe.

The Seraphic Secret Study of Fat Lesbians

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: March 13, 2013

Yesterday, Seraphic Secret reported that the Obama administration is going to spend $1.5 million tax dollars to find out why lesbians are fat. This is, after all, a burning social issue that demands attention by the federal government. Because we are concerned, patriotic citizens, Seraphic Secret has conducted its own study of fat lesbians—at no […]

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 […]

We The Government

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: February 13, 2013

Obama’s SOTU in brief: Raise the minimum wage. This is a job killer. Spend more in infrastructure. Higher taxes. We’ve been here before. It was called shovel-ready jobs. Which Obama famously yucked-up as not-so-ready.

13,000 Pages of New ObamaTax Regulations To Enforce ObamaCare

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: July 5, 2012

Tax or penalty? I keep hearing arguments among so-called intellectuals about this issue. Forgive me, but this is not complicated. The Supreme Court ruled that it’s a tax. Obamacare is only constitutional as a tax. Obamacare is being enforced by the IRS. And to make this absolutely clear: the burden of Obamacare is being paid […]

Obamacare: The Lie Is The Truth

By Robert J. Avrech | Published: June 28, 2012

Seraphic Secret has repeatedly said that there are two inviolate laws of geopolitics. 1. Never invade Russia. 2. Obama is a liar. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_-qh9XDbgE[/youtube] As you can see Obama insisted that Obamacare is not a tax. But middle class Americans have just been hit with one of the largest tax hikes in American history. The Supreme […]

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.
