Patriotism, Loyalty, Tax Competition, and ‘Tax Fugitives’
I fight to preserve tax competition, fiscal sovereignty, and financial privacy for the simple reason that politicians are less likely to impose destructive tax policy if they know that labor and capital can escape to jurisdictions with more responsible fiscal climates. My opponents in this battle are high-tax governments, statist international bureaucracies such as the [...]

Election Year Bamboozle: Obama Tries to Fake It on Corporate Taxes and ObamaCare
With his Presidential Approval Index rating dipping to -15, his signature healthcare legislation at the front door of the Supreme Court, his rejection of the Keystone Pipeline preventing both job creation and steps toward energy independence, his insistence on a “lead from behind” foreign policy- shall we go on?- President Obama and his staff have [...]

Message to Mitt: A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats
That great phrase was coined by the late Jack Kemp, who believed that growth and opportunity for all is the answer to poverty. In fact, Kemp believed it was the answer to all things economic. And he was right. The best anti-poverty program is the one that creates jobs. The answer to large budget deficits? [...]

Charles Sykes Makes the Case That We Are a ‘Nation of Moochers’
Charles Sykes is a longtime Milwaukee talk-radio host and the prolific author of a number of books that helped to shape my personal political worldview, including 1988’s eye-opening “Profscam,” and 1993’s “A Nation of Victims,’ two works as timely today as they were decades ago. “A Nation of Moochers: America’s Addiction to Getting Something for [...]

New Academic Study Confirms that Lower Tax Rates Are the Best Way to Reduce Tax Evasion
Leftists want higher tax rates and they want greater tax compliance. But they have a hard time understanding that those goals are inconsistent. Simply stated, people respond to incentives. When tax rates are punitive, folks earn and report less taxable income, and vice-versa. When tax rates increase, sometimes they engage in tax avoidance, lowering their [...]

Obama Has United the World…in Opposition to Bad U.S. Tax Policy
Last year, I came up with a saying that “Bad Government Policy Begets More Bad Government Policy” and labeled it “Mitchell’s Law” during a bout of narcissism. Read the rest at Big Government

The Super Committee: Even If It Had Succeeded, It Was a Failure
We last week passed the $15 trillion national debt mark. It continues hurtling upward, almost completely unabated. We the People did our job and then some in the historic 2010 election, delivering more than 70 new Republicans to the Congress – on their promises to rein in out-of-control Washington spending.

Supercommittee Fight May Reveal the GOP Is Beyond Saving
Some people have asked why I’m so agitated about the possibility that Republicans may acquiesce to tax increases as part of the Supercommittee negotiations.
