Since Darman was responsible for Bush’s disastrous 1990 tax hike, he was well positioned to leak about failure. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…

We can learn a lot by looking at the increasing fiscal divergence of France and Denmark (1/2, link in reply)

How about we all simply agree, @elonmusk and @Thomas__Weber, that Hitler was a statist/collectivist and an enemy of classical liberalism. Though his economic misdeeds pale in comparison with his other sins. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
Hello @elonmusk, Hitler historian here, having researched & written about Hitler for 22 yrs & being a fellow of the Hoover Institution - not exactly a hotbed of far left ideas. This doesn’t add up. It is predicated on the false assumption that collectivism only exists on the Left
...this data does not bode well for welfare states such as Germany, France, Italy, and Spain (2/2) danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
A great suggestion from @AdrianRavier. And Argentina almost certainly would win the prize for largest single-year reduction in the burden of government spending, thanks to @JMilei. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…

Spot on, @SteveForbesCEO. I’ve been a loyal 1K flyer on @united Airlines. But why should I patronize $UAL in the future when its CEO is pushing evil and immoral wealth taxes? danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
United CEO Scott Kirby wants a national wealth tax and inheritance taxes approaching 100%. Why not focus on improving service for customers paying more and getting less? If he wants to help Americans, he should focus on his customers, not punitive taxes.

For the rest of us, we can decide whether we want to fly on @united Airlines when the company CEO is pushing for a hard-left, class-warfare tax agenda that will hurt the incomes of ordinary Americans. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co… (2/2)
