Obamacare Makes It Easier than Ever to Free‐Ride
The more Americans figure out that Obamacare has made free—riding safer than ever, the more exchange enrollments will fall, posing a serious threat to Obamacare’s future.
Corporate Money and Medical Research: Markets Do Not Taint Science
Markets do not automatically taint science. As with every other service the market provides, it is the anti-capitalist attitude that does more harm.
Corporate Tax Inversion: In Praise of Avoiding Taxes
This new political campaign against corporate inversion, therefore, is really an assault on a remaining freedom through which private citizens attempt to retain more of the wealth and income they have produced and earned in the market. It is a campaign to keep the American people captive behind a fiscal Berlin Wall over which there is to be no escape.
A Cease Fire in Gaza Will Reward Hamas
When Hamas launches an attack on Israel, they know in advance that whatever Israel does in response will be limited by calls for a cease-fire, backed by political and economic pressures from the United States.

Bordering on Madness
Americans who gather to protest the high-handed way this administration has sneaked illegal immigrants into their communities can expect the race card to be played against them. The time is long overdue to stop being intimidated by such cheap — and dangerous — political tactics.
Our Unwillingness to Defend Ourselves
Americans are too focused on government handouts rather than the most basic function of government: defending us from barbarians.
Who’ll Build the Roads?
In a market, everybody wins. With government planners, it’s always “My way or the highway.”
Slave Reparations: Coming Next?
Why should present-day white Americans, who had nothing to do with slavery in the 19th Century, be forced to pay higher taxes and sacrifice their own well-being because of injustice never personally committed by them?

The “Crony” in Capitalism is Socialism
We already have a time-tested policy for deciding, without government interference, where resources should go. It’s called the free market.
IRS Chief Lois Lerner: A Progressive Hero?
If the purpose of government is to spread the wealth and attempt to distribute the good life to everyone equally, then Lois Lerner was doing what she had to do. By that standard, she was even a hero.
A Lame Duck Country?
President Obama has demonstrated, time and again, that he has no respect for the Constitution’s limitations on his power.
