Our Guest This Week

  The “Dr Seuss of Economics, Loren Spivack will address the Highlands Tea Party this Tuesday. Known also as “The Free Market Warrior”  Spivak spent most of his adult life in New York City. Before becoming active in politics. He worked for several non-profits and as a management consultant for both profit and non-profit companies.

   Spivack founded “Free Market Warrior” in 2009 in an effort to make a positive difference in American politics and economics.

  As a matter of fact, his “Free Market Warrior” store was expelled from Concord Mills Mall in North Carolina in July of 2009 for selling material critical of the Obama Administration. (Mall owners, Simon Property Group, are major Democratic donors.) 

   Since then Loren has devoted his time to teaching conservative groups about free market economics. He conducts “Economic Literacy” seminars across the United States. 

   So far, Spivack has delivered his famous seminar on “Economic Literacy” to over 200 groups in 20 states. He also is the author of “The New Democrat” a parody history of the Obama administration, based on a famous children’s book. 

   With pitch-perfect rhyme and clever illustrations, “The New Democrat” transforms the political personalities of our times into cartoon characters in a conservative morality play. Spivack’s second book “The Gorax” was released in July of 2013. It’s an anti-environmentalism/pro capitalism parody starring Al Gore and presenting his movement as a threat to American freedom and standard of living. 

   In these books,  Spivack is both funny and poignant as he makes the case that capitalism (represented by the “Onepercentler”) is the real victim of environmental extremists who destroy prosperity without achieving even their own goals. Along the way, Spivack takes well aimed shots at everything from “The Fed” to the teachers unions.

  This will be one of the most fun meetings we have had in quite a while. You’ll want to bring a friend.

  The Highlands Tea Party meets Tuesday evenings at the Vietnam Veterans Hall, 33565 Grand Prix Drive (behind the Sebring Walmart). Doors open at 5pm with the meetings to commence at 6pm.
