Heritage; Buffett Rule 101

The Heritage Foundation

President Obama traveled to Florida yesterday to distract the nation from its real problems by laying out his case for the Buffett Rule, a plan to drastically raise taxes on successful Americans and small businesses.

The core of his argument is that the rich aren’t paying their fair share. It makes for great populist rhetoric, especially when families are hurting and angry under today’s high unemployment, but the result is terrible policy…

The Great Default By Gary North

By Mark Thompson

The West’s governments are going to default, one way or another. Politicians cannot bring themselves to stop spending money the governments do not have.

Obama’s New Regulations Cost Billions

The Heritage Foundation

If you fly across the country, it’s easy to see signs of America’s ingenuity and productivity — skyscrapers in New York City, steel mills in Pennsylvania, factories in Chicago, farmland in the Great Plains, and the glittering technology of Silicon Valley.

But what you can’t see, though it’s very real, is the invisible web of red tape crawling forth from Washington, crisscrossing the landscape, strangling job creators…

By Ken Cohen

Some in Washington would have you believe that because companies like ExxonMobil are profitable, we are “taking from” the U.S. economy, rather than contributing to it.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott joined fellow state executives for dinner at the White House Sunday night. Before the rib-eye steak or Maryland crab mac & cheese hit the plates, the first-term Republican served President Obama with a letter about corporate taxes.

“I said to President Obama, ‘I applaud you for starting the process to reduce the corporate income tax,’ ” Mr. Scott told The Washington Times editorial board on Monday. “And I talked about what we’re doing in Florida to help business: less taxes, less regulation, easier permitting process, less litigation.”

Making The Connection, Where Is The Money? Washington And Wall Street

By Mark Thompson

The Federal Reserve is there to feed the federal government and Wall Street cheap cash whenever needed, and it is needed a lot these days.

With a unlimited supply of counterfeited cash Wall Street and Washington will ALWAYS win any economic battle. Simply stated when you own the bank and can print cash you can outbid the peasants for resources anytime you wish to do so. The game is rigged.

How Do Gas Prices Increase?
