Commentary Governor Ron DeSantis has a theory about those 87,000 new tax collectors, some of whom will be armed, as unleashed by the latest legislative triumph of the monopoly party ruling Washington today. He believes that they will be political agents. They will target the middle class in particular, with the hopes of punishing those…
The CDC Failed, So Spin It Off and Make It More Powerful?
Commentary The failure of the CDC to manage COVID-19 was baked in from the first moments of its response. A government agency was never going to mitigate much less get rid of this sort of pathogen. This is because the virus never cared a whit about prestige degrees, job descriptions, big budgets, high-end connections, media…

Commentary The most bizarre feature of the raid on Donald Trump’s home was its incredible invasiveness. It was how several days went by before anyone was willing to take responsibility for it. All inquiries to the White House were met with hand waves and shoulder shrugs. The FBI would not comment. All we had were…
Freedom Itself Is Gravely in Peril
Commentary The FBI has raided Donald Trump’s home in Florida and opened a private safe, hanging around for hours looking for classified material that might be there. They were likely looking for items that Trump believed he had declassified—the president can do this with anything—but is still holding in his possession. Top officials of the…

Commentary Many of us with a libertarian frame of mind presume as a matter of theory that the interests of business are at odds with those of government.

Commentary Most of us barely paid attention last week when Congress, entirely under the control of one party, passed two huge pieces of legislation with a price tag of $730 billion. We get the headlines—transition to green energy and support chip manufacturing—but not the details simply because they are too voluminous. Members of Congress do…
Dictatorship Chic
Commentary In the trajectory laid out by F.A. Hayek in his 1944 book, “The Road to Serfdom,” dictatorship is the end game of a period of immense government failure. The ruling class begins by tinkering with the normal function of markets and society with some high goal in mind (think: virus eradication) and the results are…
