February 27, 2025 By Jack Hellner We are constantly told that if Trump’s tax rates from 2017 are continued, it will cost over $5 trillion over the next ten years. That seems to be what would happen only in a theoretical or fictional world, where tax receipts are an average of $500 billion lower for ten years if higher rates are in place. The experts pretend they know how much income taxes would go up with higher rates, and then they make that unrealistic calculation. People have suffered for the last four years with higher inflation. The poor and the middle class have seen their

It was under tariffs, not free trade, that the United States industrialized and became a manufacturing nation. Indeed, the Union invaded and destroyed the Confederacy in order to impose the Morrill Tariff on the South that enabled the North to industrialize. The North could not compete with British industry and required the protection of a tariff. It is extraordinary to me that it has gone unremarked for 112 years that the income tax, which required a constitutional amendment, resurrected slavery. In actuality, white people voted to impose slavery

What’s that crazy thing? Well, ma’am, it’s a washing machine. And that? A refrigerator for keeping food cold. Oh, my. How do they work? They run on electricity through power lines straight into your home. They are modern conveniences that do your chores for you. Amid the general euphoria among those seeing such strange inventions for the first time, one of the brash, young cowboys asks discerningly,

We have suggested that much of this agenda was being funded with our own tax dollar while using government institutions and NGOs as vehicles for social engineering. In the 20 years since I started work in the liberty movement (or patriot movement), I have seen corruption beyond imagining and it all culminated in 2020-2023 when many of us battled

I have repeatedly noted how Democrats lie, gaslight, and project (their favorite tactic.) But I now have to say something some will consider patently extreme, and others may judge to be simple hyperbole: the Democrat party is the biggest threat to the planet — on the planet — today.

Fairness is an arbitrary term that can’t be measured. It means different things to different people. What seemed fair to Tony Soprano may have been patently unfair to the associate he shot in the head. Former senator Phil Gramm, Robert Ekelund, and John Early coauthored The Myth of American Inequality (Rowman and Littlefield, 2022). All three are trained economists and statisticians.

While campaigning for the office of president and since, Donald Trump has made various statements with respect to the imposition of significant tariffs on China and other countries around the world.
