Taxation: Excessive taxation stifles growth.

July 28, 2015 by C.L. Levy

This is a topic that is not too difficult to figure out.  If ten people pay $50 in taxes, the revenue is equal to $500.  If twenty people pay $30, the revenue is equal to $600.  When taxes are lowered, people have more money to spend and invest, so the economy grows.  When this happens,… [Read More]

El Volcán

I spent much of my time in the Marines involved with the conflict in El Salvador, which helped me formulate many of my ideas regarding foreign policy and the need to appreciate culture as a principal determinant of policy construction.  I wrote and self-published a book that seeks to illustrate this point via a work of fiction. … More
