Our friends at the Heritage Foundation have a great new study out about the economic harms that a cap and trade system on carbon would cause. Both presidential candidates with a shot at the office support “cap and trade.” In fact, Senator McCain will be pushing the bill mentioned below quite hard this summer. Conservatives […]
Glenn Reynolds has an interesting post up about Ron Paul’s new best-selling book The Revolution: A Manifesto.
Socialist candidate Eugene Debs, after all, never got elected President either, but within a few decades much of his platform was adopted by the Democratic Party. May Paul enjoy similar influence on the future of national politics.

Dan Mitchell discusses the current tax code and offers solutions for fundamental tax reform.
Watch this great video of Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) as he stands up for the taxpayers. Nothing new on his part, just more of the same bold leadership. And nothing new from his colleagues, just more of the same fiscal irresponsibility.
