As I have written, we all have our own biases, formed through our own life experiences and education. No one is bias-free. Regarding the political foundations of the United States, my bias is towards an interpretation that government is formed to serve the citizens. ...
The US Supreme Court has now delayed its announcement of a decision on the tariff issue for almost 2 weeks. Why has there been a delay? This is pure speculation on my part, but here goes anyway… I think there are a couple of reasons why a decision that appears to...
COULD TARIFFS REPLACE THE INCOME TAX? In 1913 the 16th Amendment to the Constitution was passed, allowing for Congress to establish an income tax. Immediately, a bill was passed and enacted with a Progressive Tax, leveling higher rates on those who could better...
