Three priorities to guide tax reform
09/22/2017 - 8:40am
Veronique de Rugy
TAX REFORM: September 21, 2017 Congress is finally tackling the tax code, which is good news because reform is badly needed. Our outdated code is complicated by thousands of credits, deductions and exemptions to individual and corporate interests — and it imposes high rates that inhibit economic growth. However, as we’ve seen with the failed efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare,...
Oops, Republicans did it again
Veronique de Rugy 08/09/2017 - 8:55am
At Issue this week...    Republicans Despite a mountain of historical evidence that the Republican Party doesn’t seriously stand for smaller government and individual liberty, I maintained some hope that this time would be different. With the GOP’s retaking control of Congress and the White House, I actually thought...
CFPB’s arbitration rule no favor for consumers
Veronique de Rugy 07/28/2017 - 1:35pm
CFPB: July 27, 2017 When it comes to identifying the worst government agency, it’s hard to pick just one. It’s equally hard not to immediately think of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. There’s just something particularly off-putting about an agency that is so self-righteous in trumpeting its virtuous defense of consumers...

BUSINESS INFLUENCE PEDDLING: July 20, 2017 For many years now, a multitude of politicians have made lofty promises, fudged the truth and denied a variety of allegations. Sadly, this seems to have become the norm. But what should we do when businesspeople join this political game, cynically peddling influence to boost their egos rather than...
Flying the fairer skies?
Veronique de Rugy 07/13/2017 - 3:12pm
AIRLINE INDUSTRY: July 13, 2017 Consumers have benefited for decades from the presence of Open Skies agreements that lessen government interference in the market for international air travel. Now, a coalition of the big three U.S. airlines — Delta Airlines, American Airlines and United Airlines — along with labor unions, are hoping to...
Carried interest tax to carry water for reform?
Veronique de Rugy 07/02/2017 - 8:08am
TAX REFORM: June 29, 2017 Much of the difficulty Republicans are experiencing in passing tax reform is self-inflicted. They’ve fallen into a trap of the left by trying to ensure that the much-needed reforms to our outdated and punitive tax code are “revenue-neutral” — meaning the government continues to take just as much...
