Civil forfeiture laws prove the forces of tyranny are alive and well.

Government Punishes Producers With More Expense

Business gets the bill for extended UIB. WASHINGTON (AP) — States that borrowed billions from the federal government to keep unemployment benefits flowing through the recession now have to start paying those loans back, and they're hitting businesses with new assessments and higher taxes to make that happen. In all, 27 states owe the federal government nearly ...

David Harsanyi: Occupy Wall Street - A Manifesto

What's really going on at the Wall Street protests? We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men, women, and transgendered—and any other human who is able to elude the tyranny of work for a couple of weeks—are created equal. We gather to be free not of tyranny, but of responsibility and college tuitions. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that a government .... MORE

Sharyl Attkisson: Top Cop Caught Lying To Congress

Excuses being made at fast and furious pace. New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress. On May 3, 2011, Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I  ... MORE

Thomas Sowell: The 'Hunger' Hoax

Another lesson in political deception. Twenty years ago, hysteria swept through the media over "hunger in America." Dan Rather opened a CBS Evening News broadcast in 1991 declaring, "one in eight American children is going hungry tonight." Newsweek, the Associated Press and the Boston Globe repeated this statistic, and many others joined the media chorus, with or ... MORE

Scott Mayer: Free-Market Green Jobs For $2.63 A Day

Taking the challenge to do the math. I employ the services of a landscape maintenance company (AKA a gardener) to maintain my yard. The very existence of his business depends on the collection of that $80 from me ($2.63 a day) as well as the 30 or 40 other people whom he provides his services to each month. This type of service may seem like an unnecessary ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Social Security Disaster

Denial is no longer an option. Politicians who are principled enough to point out the fraud of Social Security, referring to it as a lie and Ponzi scheme, are under siege. Acknowledgment of Social Security's problems is not the same as calling for the abandonment of its recipients. Instead, it's a call to take actions now, while there's time to avert a disaster. Let's look at it.      ... MORE

Grover G. Norquist: Pledge Allegiance, Just Say No

Obama foiled by tax pledge. IN 1986, the taxpayer Protection Pledge was created. The pledge is a written and signed commitment from a candidate for office to his constituents, guaranteeing that the candidate will oppose and vote against any net tax increase. Twenty-five years later, on August 2, 2011, the pledge stopped President Obama in his tracks. Obama and  ...

Mark Hemingway: Feds Make Breathing Tougher For Many

Banning asthma inhalers to fight global warming. Remember how Obama recently waived new ozone regulations at the EPA because they were too costly? Well, it seems that the Obama administration would rather make people with Asthma cough up money than let them make a surely inconsequential contribution to depleting the ozone layer: Asthma patients who rely on ...
