Geithner: Unemployment Going Up is Good News, and Allowing Folks to Keep their Own Money is Deeply Irresponsible

August 3, 2010
By

Secretary Secretary Timothy Geithner, who isn’t even capable of properly paying his own taxes, said that unemployment will go up, but only because the economy is improving. I guess we’re supposed to think that’s good news. He also said that extending Bush’s tax cuts would be “deeply irresponsible” as if the money people earn...

Art Laffer: We Cannot Tax Ourselves into Prosperity

August 2, 2010
By

Arthur Laffer’s op-ed in the Wall Street Journal is a must-read. He makes the case, using historical data, that we simply cannot tax ourselves into prosperity. To hear the liberal politicians and pundits talk, allowing the wealthy in America to keep more of the money they earn is tantamount to willfully starving babies. Nothing...

By

Memeorandum links to all sort of stories today about stimulus and extending the Bush tax cuts.

Democrats See Bush Tax Cuts as November Election Savior

Well, well, well! Democrats may keep George W. Bush’s tax cuts in a desperate move to keep their seats in November.  How will the Marxist Propaganda Squad (once known as the mainstream media) spin this? Whether Democrats dare to do it or not, it’s on the table. We have the quotes. We won’t forget. Tax...

July 22, 2010
By

What happened to recovery summer? Another 464,000 Americans lost their jobs. And Ben Bernanke said the United States economy is “unusually uncertain.” Those are not words to inspire confidence.

Currency Tax Introduced by Pete Stark

Democrat Congressman Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) introduced a tax on currency trading yesterday. This is right out of the U.N. Millennium Development Goal 2000 (UNMDG), but the U.N. calls it “a currency transfer tax.” My title says Stark’s bill mimics the UNMDG, but maybe it is the UNMDG. Rep. Stark is the man who...

Hey, Remember When Obama Said Obamacare Did Not Contain a Tax Increase

July 17, 2010
By

Remember this? Obama argued that the individual mandate to purchase health care was not a tax. He said his critics say a lot of things. As if his critics should not be believed. Okay, now I’d like to see a follow up interview now that we know his administration is defending the mandate by...

About That ‘Surplus’ Bush Inherited

July 13, 2010
By

Democrats love telling us that President Bush inherited a recession and squandered it away on tax cuts for the rich, Medicare drugs and frivolous wars. For one thing, isn’t an expansion of Medicare a liberal idea, and wouldn’t a Democrat have expanded it further? But the bigger point is, there never really was a...

WaPo: Discrimination Against Whites is Okay if Unintentional

July 9, 2010
By

Liberals can make an excuse for anything. The latest example is a Washington Post article on the tanning tax. The case can seem deceptively simple: Since patrons of tanning salons are almost exclusively white, the tax will be almost entirely paid by white people and, therefore, violates their constitutional right to equal protection under...
