Not only is the United States not #1 in Economic Freedom, we are rapidly moving downwards on the list! This should be our rallying cry for our next April 15th Tax Day Tea Party.

Make April 15th just another Day!! SB25 and HR 25 would institute the “Fair Tax” in America. EDUCATE
yourselves about the Fair Tax. We CAN end this economic nightmare overnight by instituting the Fair Tax. EDUCATE YOURSELF!

P.J. O’Rourke was right: even though Hong Kong’s (before the British seceded it to the Chinese Communists at least) civil rights record was essentially crap, at the very least they excelled in preserving the rights of man in a purse. Of course, the Chinese Communists had to scrap a lot of their communism after Hong Kong became a part of the country, in large part since the communists saw the opportunity to gain more political power via increasing the economic strength by making deals with the Hong Kong industrialists.
