A new video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P) explores the cost of excessive bureaucracy. Entitled “There Are too Many Bureaucrats and They Are Paid too Much,” the mini-documentary explains that compensation for government workers is far above private sector levels, resulting in a heavy burden on taxpayers.

America has too many bureaucrats and they are dramatically overpaid. This mini-documentary uses government data to show how federal, state, and local governments are in fiscal trouble in part because of excessive pay for a bloated civil service.

In the latest “Economics 101” video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P), Kelly McDonough, a student at American University, explains that unfunded liabilities are America’s biggest red-ink problem, dwarfing the official national debt.

This video explains that unfunded liabilities for entitlement programs are America’s real red-ink challenge, and reveals that deficits and debt are symptoms of a larger problem: the excessive burden of government spending.

A new video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P) explains why the capital gains tax is inconsistent with good tax policy and hurts the American economy.

The correct capital gains tax rate is zero because there should be no double taxation of income that is saved and invested. This is why all pro-growth tax reform plans, such as the flat tax and national sales tax, eliminate the capital gains tax. Unfortunately, the President wants to boost the official capital gains tax rate to 20 percent, and that is in addition to the higher tax rate on capital gains included in the government-run healthcare legislation.

In the latest “Economics 101” video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P), Hiwa Alaghebandian of the College of William and Mary explains that the high cost of complying with the internal revenue code is a hidden tax that makes a bad system even more oppressive.

This video shows that the corrupt mess we call a tax code is the result of 97 years of social engineering and industrial policy that began almost immediately after that dark day in 1913 that the income tax was created.

A new video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P) explains why a flat tax would be superior to the internal revenue code.
