UNESCO Embraces PLO Terrorists
Joshua Lipana November 2, 2011
As part of the United Nations’ general support for murderous regimes, one of its agencies—The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization—has granted the Palestinian Liberation Organization full membership in UNESCO. In response, U.S. officials have indicated that the United States will cut off all funding for UNESCO. But this ignores…

Newt’s Outrageous Package Deal: Secularism and Islam
Joshua Lipana October 30, 2011
CBS News reports that presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said that he is "convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America” by the time his grand-children are his age, America will be “a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with…

Fighting for Freedom is One Thing. Doing so Effectively is Another.
TOS Admin October 29, 2011
If you see that America is collapsing into fascism and want to do something about it, The Objective Standard is for you. TOS is the only publication that identifies the root causes of the problems we face and offers corresponding solutions. Why did Obamacare become law, and what must be…

Student Loan Scheme Just Another Rights-Violating Bailout
Ari Armstrong October 28, 2011
[caption id="attachment_1809" align="alignright" width="228"] Wikipedia Commons[/caption] “Banks got bailed out, we got sold out,” cried Wall Street Occupiers. The sentiment is true, but it explains nothing. Remember that the federal government also bailed out the auto unions and, more recently, more underwater homeowners. On Wednesday President Obama spoke to students…

Yes, President Obama, We Can’t Wait...
Ari Armstrong October 25, 2011
We can’t wait,” says President Obama. Among other things, he insists, the federal government must expand the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) to federally guarantee low interest rates for more “underwater” homeowners who seek to refinance their mortgages. But the program should not be expanded, it should be scrapped. The…

When Ayn Rand Meets Patrick Henry
Craig Biddle October 23, 2011
From tea partyers to conservatives to “liberals” to flea partyers—everyone has an opinion about what people and governments have a right to. “People have a right to keep what they earn”—“The government has a right to spread the wealth around”—“Women have a right to abortion”—“No they don’t”—“People have a right…

TOS Admin October 21, 2011
The New York Objectivist Society is seeking contributions to fund worthy students to attend its conference in NYC on Nov 4-6. Speakers include Dr. Andrew Bernstein, Dr. Yaron Brook, and Dr. Eric Daniels. The cost for a student to attend is $300, but contributions of any amount are welcome. For…

The Justice of Income Inequality Under Capitalism
Ari Armstrong October 19, 2011
Many “Occupy Wall Street” protesters oppose the bailouts of failed banks and financial institutions. They are right to do so: such bailouts violate rights by forcibly transferring wealth from some people to others via taxes, deficit spending (future taxes), and monetary expansion (hidden taxes). At the same time, however, many…

TOS Admin October 19, 2011

I find the articles in TOS fascinating, clarifying, and often inspiring. I love this journal.” —Brad C. Might your friends or family appreciateTOS? If so, the Fall 2011 issue—with a feature…

Harry Reid and Company’s Latest Immoral Scheme
Joshua Lipana October 16, 2011
As part of the left’s ongoing assault on productive Americans, Sen. Harry Reid is leading the senate Democrats in an effort to impose a new 5.6 percent surtax on people making a million dollars or more. This is economically stupid and morally wrong. Generally speaking, people who make a million…

“Fair Tax” Offers Neither Fairness Nor Simplicity
Ari Armstrong October 12, 2011
I would merrily accept a simple national sales tax as a replacement for the income tax—only if it followed the repeal of the Sixteenth Amendment. John Keel seems to misunderstand the purpose of my initial article about the so-called “Fair Tax.” I did not endorse the income tax over a…

Concerning “Fair Tax Looks Ugly in the Details”
TOS Admin October 12, 2011
[We received the following letter from John Keel regarding a recent post by Ari Armstrong, and we’re posting it here with Mr. Keels' permission. Mr. Armstrong will reply shortly. –Ed.] In his post “Fair Tax Looks Ugly in the Details,” Ari Armstrong makes several claims that I regard as false.…

How to Actually “Separate Government from the Corporations”
Ari Armstrong October 11, 2011
While the “Occupy Wall Street” movement offers little in the way of a coherent message, it tends to demonize corporations (while using myriad corporate products to organize the protests), demand more political handouts and economic controls, and attack capitalism. Once in a while, though, the “occupiers” offer a tidbit that,…
