Another Massachusetts Cross-Border tax scam?
A bunch of lawyers on the Supreme Court said states could tax online sales as if the buyer was in the state making the purchase. No one in New Hampshire, even the Democrats, liked that much.

What role does the Government play in determining the level of employment in a free society?
Can a society be free if its economy is not free? My assertion to you is America can do better. In order for that to happen, we must understand what is wrong. We need to want to understand where we went wrong. We need to agree on how we can best adjust to remedy the error we have made.

Report: Minorities Are Making Historical Economic Improvements in Trump Economy
We’ve been reporting this for years. Minorities are significantly better off under President Trump than they ever were under Obama, or Bush, or Clinton, or Bush. Yes. The accused racist has done more to improve the lives of people of color than the President of color.
