In what is becoming an annual summer tradition, Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) introduced today legislation persecuting low-tax jurisdictions.

A new video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P) explains that giving vouchers to future seniors is the best way to solve Medicare’s fiscal crisis. Narrated by Dan Mitchell, a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute, the video is entitled, “Saving Medicare: Free Market Reforms Are Better than Bureaucratic Rationing.”

This Economics 101 video from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity gives seven reasons why the political elite are wrong to push for more taxes. If allowed to succeed, the hopelessly misguided pushing to raise taxes would only worsen our fiscal mess while harming the economy.

The Center for Freedom and Prosperity and the Coalition for Tax Competition are pleased to acknowledge the strong stand three Senators have made against a proposed IRS regulation to collect additional and unnecessary information from nonresident aliens who invest in the United States.
