Barry’s Issues
- Britain to Obama: More Proof that Taxing the Rich Is a Fool’s Errand February 22, 2012President Obama is insistent that taxes must go up to close the deficit. He says it’s just common sense that taxes must go up, because the math says so. But if he gets his way, the numbers won’t add up the way he says they will. President Obama wants to raise taxes on “the rich.” But the Treasury will never collect the revenue he says will come from such hik […]Curtis Dubay
- Al-Qaeda: Splintered, Scattered, but Still Dangerous February 22, 2012A recent report from the RAND Corporation on al-Qaeda’s future says that the terrorist organization remains extremely dangerous and will demand America’s continued attention for years to come, echoing points Heritage has been making for some time now. The report, “Al Qaeda in Its Third Decade,” by Brian Michael Jenkins, takes a step back from the political r […]Robert Warshaw
- Obama Corporate Tax Reform a Sugar-Coated, Harmful Tax Hike February 22, 2012With his corporate tax reform “framework,” President Obama today added another element to his ultimately harmful economic agenda. Previously announced anti-growth policies include massive budget deficits, a huge tax hike on individuals and small businesses in 2013, and his proposal to nearly triple the dividend tax rate. His new proposal starts strong by red […]J.D. Foster, Ph.D.
- Nightmare Cinema: A World Under Obama’s Arms Control February 22, 2012In a recent speech to the Conference on Global Zero, Rose Gottemoeller, the Assistant Secretary for Arms Control, Verification and Compliance, told the cheering masses, “New START was just the beginning. Going forward, we know that we are going to have to think bigger and bolder.” For those who don’t follow the play-by-play of nuclear arms control, “Global Z […]James Carafano
- Act of Desperation: Iran Halts Oil Shipments to U.K., France February 22, 2012Iran’s decision to halt oil shipments to the U.K. and France last weekend is a weak retaliatory measure against European actors for tougher sanctions. Despite this largely symbolic measure, Iran did manage to surprise world markets and drive up the price of oil. The U.K. imposed its hardest-hitting sanctions to date on Iran last November, but its crude oil i […]Morgan Roach
- Red Tape and the Onerous Effects of Overregulation February 22, 2012We keep hearing that the economy is in a “jobless recovery.” What’s holding American companies back? Why aren’t they hiring more people? High taxes draw a lot of attention, and rightly so. They depress investment and discourage innovation. But escalating regulatory costs also undermine our economy. And small businesses, which fuel so much economic growth and […]Ed Feulner
- Iran Shows How to Rope-a-Dope February 22, 2012Talks between Iran and the U.N. “watchdog” International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) just failed big time. You would never know that talking to Ali Asghar Soltanieh, the Iranian ambassador to the IAEA. “The second round of talks about cooperation between Iran and the agency and interaction with each other was held, and the talks will continue in the future,” […]James Carafano
- Morning Bell: Religious Liberty Under Attack February 22, 2012Today is Ash Wednesday — the first day of Lent — the beginning of 40 days of prayer and fasting observed by Christians across the country, culminating in the Easter feast. Likewise in April, Jews will gather to celebrate Passover, one of many traditions observed under the religious freedom that the U.S. Constitution was designed to preserve. Now, though, tha […]Mike Brownfield
- Despotism, Thy Name Is Obamacare February 22, 2012Two years ago, everything about Obamacare was in the future. Recall the revealing comment at the time by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D–CA) that Congress had to pass the legislation to see what was in it. Now that the disputed law is in its implementation stage, Americans are beginning to see what is in it and what it means for them. Welcome to the future. The […]Matthew Spalding
- Obama Administration Errs in Pressuring Israel Rather Than Iran February 22, 2012The Obama Administration, still clinging to its failed engagement policy on Iran, is pressuring Israel to hold off launching an attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure in self defense. The public admonishment of a close ally is a grave error that is likely to backfire by easing pressure on Iran and ultimately increasing the chances of war. In a Sunday CNN in […]James Phillips
