Breaking up is hard to do. But, sometimes, it’s necessary. At least that’s what the government should say to wind power. The industry’s taxpayer-funded subsidies are set to expire at the end of this year – and Congress shouldn’t reauthorize.
The European Union is ambitious, at least when it comes to taxing. In a new tax on carbon emissions set to take effect on January 1, the EU will tax U.S. airlines for carbon emissions while flying over the United

In 1978, Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote in National Review: “It is almost universally recognized that the West shows all the world a way to successful economic development.” He then added a cautionary note: “Many people living in the West are dissatisfied
One of the more absurd aspects of the New York school system is that the teachers union is given the right to investigate itself when teachers are accused of sexual misconduct. In too many cases the union sides with the
The job of President of the United States is one that every occupant until Barack Obama has taken seriously. Every President prior to Barack Obama understood that the job entailed things like holding press conferences, meeting with members of Congress to
If I didn’t believe popular culture, including and most especially films, affected our culture, I never would’ve been asked to sign on for Big Hollywood. Of course movies affect us. Businesses and political campaigns wouldn’t spend billions to try to

Serious question: Does NBC just think we are all idiots? Have they been under a rock for the last decade and not realize that they no longer can control the information we hear? Do they think they can breathlessly report
The Obama campaign has four paid staffers in South Carolina, a state which last voted Democrat for President in 1976, when neighboring Governor Jimmy Carter edged President Gerald Ford. This is all the evidence you need to know the campaign
Small companies who want to sell their products online are in real trouble. Some Republican governors, eager to enrich their thinning state coffers, are endorsing a tax that would be imposed on products sold online.According to the National Conference of
