Damon W. Root: The EPA Vs. The Constitution
High Court prepares to hear major 5th Amendment case. The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution declares that no person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” This means that if the government infringes on your rights, you are entitled to mount a timely and meaningful defense of those rights in court. It’s one of the ... MOREJerry Hirsch: California Launches War Against Oil Changes
Legislative nannies gone wild. Many automobile owners are spending more than they need on motor oil, believing that it should be changed every 3,000 miles even though almost no manufacturer requires such an aggressive oil-change schedule. The long-held notion that the oil should be changed every 3,000 miles is so prevalent that California officials have launched a ... MOREWSJ Editorial: Regulation For Dummies

Explaining his new hero, Teddy Roosevelt, Obama said: "But Roosevelt also knew that the free market has never been a free license to take ... MORETom McClintock: Job Creation Is No Mystery
Government regulation kills jobs. The government's continuing failure to address our nation's gut-wrenching unemployment stems from a fundamental disagreement over how jobs are created in the first place. We are now in the third year of policies predicated on the assumption that government spending creates jobs. We have squandered three years and trillions of dollars ...

Its about tyranny, control and trolling for revenue, not safety. Years ago, at its inception, the Internal Revenue Service, was duly deputized as the primary government agency responsible for collecting all personal and business taxes.
