Taxes

Philadelphia Inquirer national columnist Will Bunch gaslit the American public in an outrageous full-throated defense of “Bidenomics.” 

Want a soda? You’ll pay more for one in Philadelphia, because local politicians decided to tax it five years ago. They’re “protecting” people, they said. The tax would “reduce obesity” and “lower diabetes rates.” But their main goal was to bring in more money, which they said would “fund early childhood education” and “help a lot of families.” I reported on this five years ago, right after the…

Colorado has a popular Democratic governor, Jared Polis. He’s a rare Democrat who says, “I’m for more freedom and lower taxes.” But is he really? At least he’s willing to come to Stossel TV to debate. Refreshingly, Polis supports charter schools. He even founded two. Unfortunately, his state’s school choice program only applies to government schools. Florida, Arizona, Utah, Indiana, West…

Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, died on Monday and for Tuesday’s Inside Politics on CNN, the assembled panel recalled his confrontation with Barack Obama in 2008 on taxes by labeling it the beginning of “grievance politics” for white working class men while lamenting that Democrats have not been able to connect with such voters despite the passing of the…

During a discussion on former President Donald Trump’s latest indictment related to January 6, MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle went on a bit of a digression on Wednesday’s The 11th Hour to discuss Fitch downgrading the U.S.’s credit rating, which according to her was caused by “was the chaos created by the GOP” including January 6. Of course, Fitch’s own explanation was a little bit more…

There is actually a Democratic governor who cares about economic freedom! He’s Colorado Gov. Jared Polis. He’s the subject of my new video. Before Polis got into the ugly field of government, he did useful work. He was an entrepreneur. He started an online flower company, modernized his parents’ greeting card company, and founded charter schools, an internet access company, Spanish-speaking…

The New York Times editorial board seems to have rediscovered basic economics: excessive federal government borrowing is “unsustainable.” Thanks, Captain Obvious! 

Wednesday’s episode of Morning Joe demonstrated the limitless leftist agenda at MSNBC, and their extreme climate demands. Host Mika Brzezinski dedicated a segment to promoting the far left globalist organization Global Citizen’s “Power Our Planet” concert event, and touted their dangerous goals and anti-American ideology.

A graphic presented on screen put forward several of…

On Sunday's Meet the Press, moderator and former Senate Democrat staffer Chuck Todd parroted the kind of talking points you frequently hear from those in support of tyrannical regimes: if you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about. Todd put his own spin on that while interviewing Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donalds about the looming debt ceiling deadline…

Harvard Law School’s bonafide leftist Laurence Tribe didn’t see the ethics issue in advising President Joe Biden to ignore standing law on the debt ceiling in order to … uphold the law.

During the 2011 debt ceiling fight, the media relentlessly harassed Republican attempts to rein in spending, as journalists demanded tax increases and blasted conservatives as hostage takers and bomb-toting terrorists.

Everywhere one looks these days it appears services and products cost more but deliver less than they once did. That seems especially true when it comes to the federal government. President Biden wants to raise taxes again. Unlikely, given the Republican House majority, but this Tax Day offers us our annual opportunity to explore what we are getting in exchange for what we’re paying Washington…

Instead of making government over-spending an issue, the news media have relentlessly pushed for even more of the nation’s wealth to be handed over to the federal government to spend.

On Thursday, President Biden unveiled his budget proposal for the 2024 fiscal year and the three liberal news networks reacted exactly the way you would have guessed: they ate it up. This is despite the fact that Biden's proposed budget would spend a jaw-dropping 6.8 trillion dollars and would tax Americans who invest in the stock market on unrealized gains for the first time in American…
