Biden Scorning the Secret Formula of American Prosperity By LAWRENCE KUDLOW, Special to the Sun Taxed to the max. In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes. That famous quote, of course, is from Founding Father Benjamin Franklin. Among all the problems with the Biden administration’s policy, they even want to raise taxes on your…
By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun “Thanks, science.” The phrase is suddenly ubiquitous on social media posts from individuals grateful that they or their children have just been vaccinated against Covid-19. I’m grateful for the impulse people have to express gratitude. Surely science…
By JUDY SHELTON, Special to the Sun The war of words unleashed on Wall Street and in Washington by Wednesday’s announcement of an unexpectedly high rate of consumer price inflation is escalating by the day. Legendary hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller had warned on Tuesday in the…
By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun Soaring inflation. Lines at gas stations, with rising gasoline prices. Tense negotiations with Iran involving hostages. A deteriorating situation in Afghanistan. Calls to boycott an upcoming Olympics to be hosted by a hostile, expansionist Communist…
A Deeper Message Lies in the Biggest Jobs Miss in History By LAWRENCE KUDLOW, Special to the Sun Today’s jobs report gives us, at 266,000, the biggest miss in history. The entire economics profession, including me, expected around a million. Well, so it goes. Stocks loved it — because it probably guarantees more free money forever. President Joe…
By LAWRENCE KUDLOW, Special to the Sun Let’s talk about the extraordinary importance of Senator Tim Scott’s rebuttal to President Biden’s speech last week to the Senate. When can anyone remember a rebuttal speech that was more important, more significant, and more insightful, and, by the… ‘Stealth Radical’? Biden’s Program Was No Secret By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun Six months ago, Joe Biden was supposedly a moderate. Now, he supposedly wants to restructure the fundamentals of the American economy. This narrative is dismaying, because it suggests that Mr. Biden got elected by voters with inaccurate information… Biden Forgets the Order of Our System – God, the People, the Government By LAWRENCE KUDLOW, Special to the Sun By now you might have heard — or seen — a few moments from President Biden’s address to Congress. If you didn’t, here’s what was outlined: The Democratic Party has made government its god, the Congress their place of worship, and the White House…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The best aspect of President Biden’s speech to the nation from the House was his competent and persuasive delivery. He once again beat back the claims that he is a senescent, robotic dummy of severely diminished cognitive abilities. It was just… Biden Launching A Broad Attack On Our Prosperity By LAWRENCE KUDLOW, Special to the Sun So let me get this right. President Biden has proposed the highest capital gains tax in, probably, history. I’m not quite sure. I know, though, that it’s the highest in the past 50 years. At 43.4% — added with the corporate tax — that gets you to… Bad Earth Day: No More Beef, Much Higher Taxes By LAWRENCE KUDLOW, Special to the Sun Stocks in the past few days have moved higher across the board. Mr. Market has apparently decided that President Biden’s sweeping tax hikes won’t be passed. We’ll just have to see. Remember, Democrats will have two bites out of the reconciliation…
By LAWRENCE KUDLOW, Special to the Sun If it ain’t broke, goes the sage advice, don’t fix it. The economy is booming. Totally booming. They key factor is the explosion of vaccines — well over 200 million, leading to the reopening of the economy. And, I feel compelled to remind, the…
By IRA STOLL In the early days of the Trump administration, the “deep state” — the permanent bureaucracy of the FBI and other national security-related agencies — targeted President Trump and his national security adviser, Michael Flynn. Some of us warned at the…
By LAWRENCE KUDLOW, Special to the Sun Let’s turn to the issue of voting rights and corporate chief executives. A statement organized in recent days by the former CEO of American Express, Kenneth Chenault, and Merck’s chief executive, Kenneth Frazier. A large number of companies signed it…
By JOHN W. CHILDS, Special to the Sun So here’s the deal. The Democrats want to raise the estate tax. Republicans want to escape the annoying and counterproductive capital gains tax. How about we compromise on the following — Congress reduces the capital gains tax to zero but doubles the…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun President Biden’s infrastructure bill is a shopping cart full of left-wing causes, most of which have nothing to do with infrastructure. There is nothing in principle particularly wrong with omnibus bills covering a number of different policy…
Times Reckons Coming Raid On Taxpayers Is Largest Since 1942 By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun “The largest federal tax increase since 1942,” is how the New York Times, in a front-page news article, is describing President Biden’s plan for the American economy. The Times fails to specify precisely how it is measuring the size of the tax…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun President Joe Biden’s first news conference was the high point of his administration to date; he was fluent, good-humored, well-informed, and only slightly bobbled one or two questions and not in a way that surpassed the confusion deliberately created…
