The Democratic Primary has already generated some outrageous proposals, and one of the worst is Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax. The problem with wealth taxes is that they never work. The Europeans have tried them many times, and in most cases have already reversed course. My friend Chris Edwards explains the failure of Europe’s wealth […]
Barack’s Brazil Baloney: Part II
Yesterday I detailed the lies former President Barack Obama told Brazilians about American gun laws recently. As you may have already known, this isn’t Obama’s first use of untruths to push his radical anti-Second Amendment agenda. Here’s a clip from the Daily Signal in which the then-president Obama spouts a number of lies about guns […]

Are Your Tax Dollars Paying Ghost Workers?
There are ghosts among us. No not supernatural beings from beyond the grave, but ghost workers. These are employees who spend their time working on union business, but get paid by taxpayers like you and me. These workers are a drain on government resources, and quite possibly illegal in many cases. According to the Rhode […]
