If you want to retire with an extra half a million dollars or more then consider moving to another state. Art Laffer has done the research for you:
A Libertarian Awakening
Last week I received my autographed copy of The Libertarian Mind by David Boaz, Executive Vice President at the Cato Institute. He discusses his book with Radio America’s Economy of One with Gary Rathbun:
Senior Leadership
In Rhode Island politics, corruption is nothing new, so when former Speaker of the Rhode Island House of Representatives Gordon Fox pled guilty this week to federal corruption charges, it wasn’t a complete shock. And earlier this year when House Deputy Majority Whip Joseph Almeida was arrested for similar charges of misappropriating campaign funds, it was no […]
Gordon Fox Pleads Guilty
Former Rhode Island House Speaker Gordon Fox pleaded guilty Tuesday for taking bribes, wire fraud and filing a false tax return. He accepted $52,500 in bribes to help a bar and restaurant get a liquor license and illegally diverted $108,000 in campaign funds to pay for personal expenses.
NASDAQ Missed the Boat
NASDAQ crossed 5,000 for the first time in 15 years. That’s a long-time to wait, especially if you’re not getting paid. Back in 2000, when it peaked, NASDAQ yielded one-tenth of the S&P 500 or 0.12%. Imagine investing for 15-years and getting paid. I’ll use a 4% yield as an example, which was hard to […]

What the White House is trying to do is force savers to work with investment advisors, not brokers, when rolling over their 401(k). I’ve long been a proponent of investments advisors for my own obvious reasons—I am […]
Food Riots in Cuba
Originally posted April 16, 2013. I read about Cuba’s 1995 food riots last week, when I was studying techniques for food storage and preservation. They were a good illustration that you don’t necessarily have to be out of food to have a riot. It’s the panic that breaks the bank, or the nuts on The […]
A Limitless War
“So how have the GOP’s erstwhile opponents of the imperial presidency greeted this latest affront to the separation of powers?” asks Gene Healy, Vice President at Cato, in The Federalist. “By complaining that Obama hasn’t been imperial enough,” he answers. Guess what Sen. John McCain thinks about a limitless war? “It’s probably appropriate to have […]
