Fuel Controls Violate Rights and Stifle Markets
Ari Armstrong October 7, 2011
Zero to 28? Yes, on a good day. Henry Ford’s first two-cylinder, eight-horsepower Model A car of 1903 cost around $18,000 in today’s dollars. Since then, manufacturers have aggressively pushed forward automotive technology, producing vehicles that are faster, safer, more comfortable, and more economical to purchase and operate. Unfortunately, the…

France Needs Laissez-Faire
Joshua Lipana October 4, 2011
A number of very wealthy French citizens have called for their government to raise taxes on the rich, the “justification” being that this will help curb the government’s deficit. The French government concurred and has imposed a new 3 percent additional tax on everyone making more than 500,000 euros annually.…

"Fair Tax" Looks Ugly in the Details
Ari Armstrong October 1, 2011
No wonder so many Americans want to abolish the income tax and the IRS along with it. The IRS pries into our earnings, our daily spending habits, even our mileage records. The nightmarishly indecipherable tax code imposes huge compliance costs, along with the risks of arbitrary persecution for innocent errors.…

Craig Biddle October 1, 2011
Alex Epstein’s excellent new organization, the Center for Industrial Progress, has launched a campaign to raise money in support of the Center’s activities, including a forthcoming debate with Greenpeace, "The Green Energy Economy: Economic Savior or Economic Suicide?"

Gates Foundation: Three Obvious Solutions Ignored
Richard M. Salsman September 30, 2011
I saw Melinda Gates on TV the other day, saying the Gates Foundation (to which Warren Buffet gives billions) is focused on “solving” three big problems in the world: malaria, polio, and government schools in America. But these problems have already been solved, have they not? What is the mystery?…

Of Saudi Savages and American Children
Craig Biddle September 28, 2011
Nina Shea’s recent article, “Saudis' Vile, State-Sponsored Textbooks,” reveals nothing new, but the old news it relays is worth dusting off and shouting from the rooftops every now and then. It’s particularly relevant, for instance, in connection with the Saudis’ and other Islamist regimes’ agitations for Palestinian statehood and their…

Ending the North Korean Regime: Two Goods for the Price of One
Joshua Lipana September 27, 2011
The Agence France-Presse reports that North Korean defectors recently testified in front of a U.S congressional panel, recounting the horrors they experienced under the communist regime. One of the defectors, Kim Hye-Sook, who was taken to a prison camp when she was 13 because her grandfather had escaped to South…

The United Nations’ Assault on Tobacco Companies
Joshua Lipana September 23, 2011
The United Nations is encouraging governments all around the world to “curb” smoking by increasing taxes and regulations on tobacco companies. Supporters of this move justify this increase in government coercion by claiming this will make people healthier and increase revenue for the government. The government’s proper function, however, is…

The Obama Downgrade
Joshua Lipana September 21, 2011
People familiar with addition and subtraction repeatedly told President Obama that the U.S. government needed to cut spending substantially to better its fiscal situation. Obama and his Democrat Party refused to listen. The result was the S&P’s downgrading of the U.S. credit rating, the first in U.S. history. Although it…

Don’t Bribe Pakistan; Warn It
Joshua Lipana September 20, 2011
The Obama administration has halted $800 million in military aid to Pakistan. In a CNN op-ed, Kori Schake argues against this, and claims that to destroy “violent Islam” the United States needs Pakistan’s help. She further claims that Pakistan’s unwillingness “to function with U.S. interests in mind argues for more,…
