There were fewer federal civilian workers in 2009 than in 1990, 1980 and 1970. It helps to understand what tax dollars are paying for so that people have some perspective of what they are buying - as in this case homeland security and wars. After 9/11, the public was demanding the federal government do something. It did -- and it took people to manage it. That puts much of the criticism leveled at the federal government into perspective.

Authorities in the island state, which serves as a US naval base, made the arrests during weeks of unrest in the run-up to a parliamentary election next month. Bahrain's capital Manama Officials said activists were members of "a terrorist network with international support" and were planning a campaign of "violence, intimidation and subversion".

That's what's been at the heart of all our efforts: building our economy on a new foundation so that our middle class doesn't just survive this crisis – but thrives once we emerge. That's why we passed health insurance reform that will make coverage affordable; reform that ends the indignity of insurance companies jacking up your premiums at will or denying you coverage just because you get sick; reform that shifts control from them to you. But there are some folks in Washington who see things differently. When it comes to just about everything we've done to strengthen the middle...

Dear John Boehner, Ted Poe, and Members of the incoming 112th Congress: If you do only one thing in your time in Washington, and frankly I hope you do only one thing given your propensity to expand government (other than eradicating Obamacare), it is this: SAVE THE LIGHT BULB. People may not realize it, but one of the first acts of the Democratic Congress in 2007, was to ban the light bulb effective in 2014. Seriously. Now, you may say that this is an exaggeration, and it is a bit, but the incandescent light bulb is the light bulb of...

Hello Everyone! I had a great debate just yesterday with some of my in-laws at a birthday party for my mother-in-law. (My wife, her sister and mother left later to go gambling in Oklahoma. We live in Kansas.) Anyhow, I was speaking mostly with my brother-in-law there about some local business that he was involved with the company I work for. The conversation progressed to my opposition to Corporatism which, of course, isn't Capitalism and we found some common ground. Then, somehow the conversation shifted to Greensburg, Kansas and how they were rebuilding the city in true 'Green' fashion after...

Revisiting Static vs. Dynamic Tax Revenue Comments by: Larry Walker The Obama Administration's static view on tax policy can never succeed. We all know that Obama is an ideologue who thinks that people who make more money should pay a higher share of taxes, and yet we already have a progressive tax system. But apparently that's not good enough for Obama. Under our present system, roughly 40% of those fortunate enough to be employed don't pay any income taxes at all, while the top 5% of income earners pay 60% of income taxes, and those considered in the top 50%...
