Her own worst enemy is hiding in the mirror. Why is Hillary Clinton so unhappy? According to her, when she and her husband left the White House, they were dead broke. Yet they left with a truckload of valuable furniture, dinnerware and flatware that was the property of the federal government, for which they were never prosecuted. ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: Why Is Hillary So Unhappy?
Her own worst enemy is hiding in the mirror. Why is Hillary Clinton so unhappy? According to her, when she and her husband left the White House, they were dead broke. Yet they left with a truckload of valuable furniture, dinnerware and flatware that was the property of the federal government, for which they were never prosecuted. ... MOREWalter E Williams: Defense Against Demagogues
Economic ignorance used as a political tool. When gasoline sold at record prices, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said, "I think it's time to say to these people, 'Stop ripping off the American people.'" When the average price of regular gas was close to $4 a gallon, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called for Congress to look into breaking up giant oil companies. ... MOREJudge Gives County Green Light To Sell Woman’s Home After One Property Tax Payment Was Missed By Mistake
by Matt Erspamer. A Kalamazoo County judge has sided with county officials in a dispute
where a Richland woman says her home is being seized over a property
tax mistake. FOX 17 first talked with Deborah Calley
in mid-September, when she told us she lost her home after she
accidentally missed a property tax payment of roughly $2,000 ... MORECanada Warns Citizens Of America's Cash-Hungry Cops
A heads up on asset forfeiture schemes. On its official website, the Canadian government informs its citizens that “there is no limit to the amount of money that you may legally take into or out of the United States.” Nonetheless, it adds, banking in the U.S. can be difficult for non-residents, so Canadians shouldn’t carry large amounts of cash. ... MORESylvia Bokor: The Trillion-Plus Dollar Heist
Public servants or public masters? Government produces nothing. It creates no wealth. Yet the District of Columbia is ranked as the richest area in the nation. Politicians and bureaucrats shriek that business people are "greedy." But facts show differently. Imagine voting yourself a raise and millions of dollars in allowances. Imagine ... MOREJack Lakey: Speed Traps Are About Revenue, Not Safety
Policing for profit: dragnets and fishing expeditions. If radar enforcement is all about safety, as police say, why are they fishing for speeders on Allen Rd. in the middle of the night? Paula Morese describes the cop who pulled her over at 2 a.m. as an “entrapment officer,” one of three who were ambushing drivers where the speed limit drops ... MORE
John Stossel: Gas Myths
Plan to drive more this summer? Annoyed by the price of gas? Complaining that oil companies rip you off? I say, shut up. Even if gas costs $4 per gallon, we should thank Big Oil. Think what they have to do to bring us gas. Oil must be sucked out of the ground, sometimes from war zones or deep beneath oceans. The drills now bend and dig sideways ... MOREDaniel J. Flynn: Manny Pacquiao Vs The IRS
Enough to make taxpayers cry, "no mas." Manny Pacquiao takes on his toughest opponent in his next fight: the Internal Revenue Service. Roy Jones, Evander Holyfield, and Floyd Mayweather all fought the most powerful three-letters in boxing and lost. Manny Pacquiao, a Filipino who doesn’t possess their home field disadvantage, has already ... MOREThe Power Of Any Government To Tax You
Daniel J. Mitchell on the Internet Sales Tax. I’m either a total optimist or a glutton for punishment. I recently explained the benefits of “tax havens” for the unfriendly readers of the New York Times. Now I’m defending a different form of tax competition for CNN, another news outlet that leans left. In this case, the topic is whether states can reach ... MOREUnion Greed Drives California To Bankrupcy
by Steven Greenhut. Few non-local people pay much attention to the goings-on in Stockton, a hard-pressed Gold-Rush-era industrial city of 300,000 that sits in the agriculturally rich San Joaquin Valley at the eastern edge of the California Delta. But bond-holders, taxpayers and government officials throughout the country will be listening to U.S. ... MOREJohn Stossel: Charity Begins With Wealth Creation
Wealth must be created before it is given. Charity -- helping people who have trouble helping themselves -- is a good thing two times over. It's good for the beneficiary and good for the donor, too. Stephen Post's fine book, "The Hidden Gifts of Helping," reveals that 76 percent of Americans say that helping others is what makes them most happy. Giving money ... MOREJohn Stossel: Greed
Inequality is a product of freedom. On TV, my Fox colleague Bill O'Reilly says, "The recession was brought on largely by greedy Wall Street corporations." Give me a break. Bill's smart. If he believes such things, we who care about freedom have done a poor job communicating economics. Blaming problems on "greed" is a mindless cliche. ...

Williams speaks on greed, gun rights, education, social security and more.
