Stop the Subprime Mortgage Nonsense

Jan 15, 2008

I wanted to pass along a recent op-ed that I published in The Washington Times about a subprime mortgage bill being considered by the U.S. Senate. Politicians need to realize that this plan is a bailout that will stick taxpayers with the bill. The legislation would only make it more difficult and expensive for consumers to get a new home.

Shelby one of the lone voices in Congress still pushing flat tax

Feb 06, 2005

Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby belonged to a different party and served in a different chamber when he first floated the idea of a flat tax more than two decades ago to little fanfare.

The good news for Shelby is that with President Bush fresh off a re-election victory and Republicans firmly in control of Congress, the stars could be aligned for major legislative change to appease conservatives. The bad news: It doesn't appear tax reform is where party leaders intend to start.
