John Stossel: The Art Of Trump

Hooray for Donald Trump!   I can ice skate in Central Park because Trump got the skating rink fixed after New York City couldn't. Couldn't, you ask? Really? How is that possible? New York City government couldn't fix an ice rink? Sad, but true. Despite six years of effort and fiddling with 13 million taxpayer dollars, government's bureaucracy was unable  ... MORE

Walter E Williams: What Is The Fair Share Of Taxes?

Politicians exploiting the ignorant.   Presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, along with President Obama, say they want high-income earners, otherwise known as the rich, to pay their fair share of income taxes. None of these people, as well as the uninformed in the media and our campus intellectual elites, will say precisely  ... MORE

Scott Shackford: The Middle Class Is Shrinking!

Because They’re Getting Rich!   Success is seen as a disaster when you care more about income inequality than mobility. "The American Middle Class is Losing Ground," is the title of Pew Research Center's new report on income inequality. That headline informed the headlines that other media outlets have settled on as well. The Los Angeles  ... MORE

Jerry Brown Wants Amnesty On Traffic Debt For Poor

by Judy Lin.    Maybe food stamps will be accepted as payment. Calling California's traffic court system a "hellhole of desperation" for the poor, Gov. Jerry Brown is proposing an amnesty program for residents who can't afford to pay off spiraling fines and penalties that have resulted in 4.8 million driver's license suspensions since 2006. The push by the   ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: 'Just Asking'

Obama's class warfare "questions."    In a recent panel discussion on poverty at Georgetown University, President Barack Obama gave another demonstration of his mastery of rhetoric — and disregard of reality. One of the ways of fighting poverty, he proposed, was to "ask from society's lottery winners" that they make a "modest investment"  ... MORE

John Stossel: Gentrify!

There goes the hood. No matter what you do, modern liberals will tell you you're wrong. For decades, liberals complained that American society is segregated because rich, white people don't want to live in ethnically mixed neighborhoods. Sometimes, liberals had a point. From the 1930s to 1960s, as rich white people moved into New York City, urban   ... MORE

Leftists Priority: Raising Revenue Or Punishing Success?

by Daniel J. Mitchell.     On the issue of so-called progressive taxation, our left-wing friends have conflicting goals.  Some of them want to maximize tax revenue in order to finance ever-bigger government.  But others are much more motivated by a desire to punish success.  They want high tax rates on the “rich” even if the government collects less  ...

Thomas Sowell: Obama Versus America

Irresponsible and immature.    In his recent trip to India, President Obama repeated a long-standing pattern of his — denigrating the United States to foreign audiences. He said that he had been discriminated against because of his skin color in America, a country in which there is, even now, "terrible poverty." Make no mistake about it, there is   ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene

Exquisite observations from a national treasure. Will the Veterans Administration scandal wake up those people who have been blithely saying that what we need is a "single payer" system for medical care? Delays in getting to see a doctor have been a common denominator in government-run medical systems in England, Canada and     ... MORE
