Today Andrew Walworth, Fox News With Joe Biden in the White House, we're about to embark on another national experiment to see how Americans react to tax increases. |
Charles Gasparino, New York Post It's clear Georgia's new voter law is nothing close to the "Jim Crow on steroids" description attributed to our alleged unifier in chief, President Biden. Yet I'm pretty certain the law is an attem… |
Thomas Lyon, The Hill Much as companies would like to avoid sticking their necks out in the overheated and polarized American political environment, they simply cannot do so any longer. |
Andrew Wilford, RCM In recent years, it has become fashionable to profess outrage at reports of businesses with book profits that nevertheless owe zero taxes. Popularized by left-wing advocacy groups such as the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy, these reports are intended to drum up public anger against a tax system supposedly "rigged" in favor of corporations. Ironically, recent attempts to solve this "problem" demonstrate how bogus this narrative is better than any op-ed ever could. |

Jeffrey Tucker, AIER "How many years will it take before people can come to terms with the embarrassing and scandalous reality that much of what posed as Science last year was made up on the fly and turns out to be wholly false?" ~ Jeffrey Tucker |
John Burnett, RCM As public markets continue to be roiled by the pandemic, political instability in Washington, and so-called meme investing orchestrated on social media platforms, private equity is emerging as a more reliable alternative, especially for institutional investors like insurers and pension funds. The strengths that private equity brings to investors are many, including access to obscure but promising companies as well as rare deals and profits that often eclipse those seen on the public market. |
Dana Peterson, CNN Based on the current factors at play, fears of dire, long-lasting inflation are likely overblown. |
Liz Ann Sonders & Kevin Gordon, Charles Schwab Trendy and speculative trades have gained micro bubble status and rolled over of late, but their weakness hasn't infected the broader market. |
Chris Edwards, Cato Institute Nations competing to have better policy is not a zero‐sum game. |

Market Minder, Fisher The latest data are fueling rather rosy expectations for the US economy. Take it with a big grain of salt. |
Dan Mitchell, International Liberty Way back in 2007, I narrated this video to explain why tax competition is very desirable because politicians are likely to overtax and overspend ("Goldfish Government") if they think ta… |
Dana Peterson, CNN Based on the current factors at play, fears of dire, long-lasting inflation are likely overblown. |
Dani Rodrik, Project Syndicate The US administration's proposed $2 trillion infrastructure package could transform the US and set an important example for other developed countries to follow. But to achieve its potential, the plan must avoid misleading state-versus-market dichotomies and outdated Cold War tropes. |

Casey Carlisle, UncleNap When you hear of this millionaire or that billionaire, you might think of what you would like to do with just a fraction of that wealth. Notice that your dreaming doesn't end with, "I wish I had that much money;" that's how it begins. The dreaming ends, if ever, after deciding what you might do with that wealth. It's not the money you crave; it's the opportunities that the money can provide. John Tamny regularly points out that "we want money because of what it can be exchanged for." Sounds simple enough, but Tamny states it often because it's unnecessarily complex to most, which is why... |
Dror Poleg, Dror Poleg The future of work is a pyramid scheme, where every person sells his favorite person to the next person. |
Robert Poole, Reason In 1960, Congress forbid service plazas on the new Interstate highways. It's time for that to change. |
Ysabelle Kempe, Wired After decades of false starts, the federal approval of a new testing site off the coast of Oregon could give the technology a much-needed jolt. |
