I don't mean to go all academic on people, but significant tax cuts have been employed four times in the last 100 years, and every time they've been tried, they've worked: 1. President Harding, to avert the Great Depression of 1920. Unlike FDR, who dramatically expanded a recession into a...

No disrespect, but what an idiotic idea. Are you going to tax grandma's home, simply because the shack she bought thirty years ago has gone up in value? And when we have those boom years in real estate where a community might increase in value more than grandma earns in income, are you going...

My first choice would be that people wake up and recognize that intervening in free markets is not the role of the Government. Governments can't help but make political decisions that favor one group over another. Look at the recent NASA cutbacks...does is not occur to folks that most of the...

Okay, stop the presses...this is the liberal person's flawed thinking in plain sight for all to see. You seem to think if top earners made a trillion less, it somehow would go to other US taxpayers. You forget a small step, though - if the top earners made less, where would this trillion...

You want those jobs back? Compete for them. Lower the corporate tax to zero, and you'll see an almost immediate reversal of these trends. It really is as simple as that...

Although we know that government action distorts the economy in ways that are usually bad for all involved, we just can't seem to help ourselves. I am of the belief that AIG should have been allowed to collapse on its own, with no intervention by the government or anyone else. In bankruptcy...

Yes, there is global competition for corporate investments, and right now, the US is an expensive, risky place to be investing. If you want to lure jobs here from China, India, Brazil, Malaysia, etc then investors would have to be convinced it's a better bet in the USA. Generally, this can...

Just a simple fact to consider... Every time the government takes about $100K out of the hands of an individual in the form of taxes, you get roughly one less private sector job. That $15M earner you want to tax at 70% would surrender about $10M of his income to Uncle Sam - that equates...

It seems to me that the only real way to help the poor is to boost economic growth and drive up prosperity generally. Jobs come from small businesses and corporations, and so the number one thing we might do to help the poor is to ensure that these organizations succeed and grow...
