American taxpayers finance nearly one-fourth of the budget for the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, an international bureaucracy that routinely advocates for more government – including more taxes and spending in the United States. In just the past couple of years, the OECD has used American tax dollars to advocate Obamacare-type health policies, push for failed Keynesian stimulus spending, promote Al Gore-style carbon taxes, and urge the enactment a value-added tax. To reduce wasteful spending and protect America’s free market system, American subsidies for this Paris-based bureaucracy should be eliminated.

Quinlan, reacted today to Senator Carl Levin’s stated plan to use the amendment process on the small business lending bill to attack so-called “tax havens.” Proving to be tone deaf when it comes to the problems facing average Americans, Senator Levin wants to use a bill his colleagues claim is aimed at creating jobs and helping small businesses to place new burdens on investors that will end up destroying jobs.

The Double Taxation Working Group unveiled today a letter sent to United States Senator Jim DeMint thanking him for his leadership in the battle to block higher tax rates on capital gains and dividends.

A new video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P) cites the latest academic research to show that there is too much government spending in America and other industrialized nations.

Government spending can promote economic growth if money is used for core “public goods” such as rule of law and property rights. But the burden of government spending in the United States and other industrialized nations is far higher than needed to finance such activities. Citing scholarly studies, this CF&P Foundation video examines the Rahn Curve, which graphically illustrates the negative impact of excessive government spending.
