State migration increasingly driven by taxes
09/20/2018 - 10:53am

ECONOMIC FREEDOM: September 20, 2018 Americans move from one state to another for a variety of reasons. They move to retire, to find jobs, to lower their housing costs or to enjoy nicer weather. While experts disagree about whether tax competition between states plays a large or small role in these relocation decisions, a new study finds that taxes are actually a factor for migration and will...
Universal savings accounts a silver lining in tax reform
Veronique de Rugy 09/13/2018 - 8:27pm
TAX REFORM: September 13, 2018 This week, House Republicans did what they do best: Offer to cut taxes and add to the deficit. Their three-part reform plan is round two of their goal to dramatically slash taxes and reform the nation’s tax code. The move is likely a political one, because it isn’t fiscally responsible. Yet it carries...
Life after NAFTA

U.S.-MEXICO TRADE AGREEMENT: August 30, 2018 On Monday, the American people were treated to a televised Oval Office phone call between President Trump and Enrique Pena Nieto, the president of Mexico, during which they congratulated each other on reaching a bilateral trade agreement. The new deal is meant to replace the North American Free Trade...

EBRD: July 26, 2018 I’ve spent years arguing that the Export-Import Bank, the official United States export credit agency, is a wasteful and corrupt bureaucracy. It exists to subsidize big companies, especially Boeing and other politically connected firms. Not only is this unfair; it undermines growth because these subsidies distort the...
What goes around comes around — tariffs stuck on the spin cycle
Veronique de Rugy 07/20/2018 - 7:45pm
TARIFFS: July 19, 2018 American firms cheering for protectionism in the form of tariffs on their foreign competitors should be careful what they wish for. As they say, “What goes around comes around.” Case in point: The American washer and dryer manufacturer Whirlpool Corp. Last January, the Trump administration imposed a penalty on...
On trade, Trump is who he claims to be
Veronique de Rugy 07/12/2018 - 9:53pm
TRADE: July 12, 2018 When it comes to trade, we should take President Trump at his word. This is one policy area where he’s been remarkably consistent over the years. That’s why I’m always surprised whenever articles, TV commentators or friends in casual conversations argue that his real goal in boldly imposing unilateral tariff...
