Principled Politics – 11/18/09

An Alternative Stimulus Plan – Michael Boskin at WSJ
A payroll tax cut would add three to four million jobs at a fraction of the cost of the stimulus bill.

Bowing to "World Opinion" – Thomas Sowell at Townhall.com
In the string of amazing decisions made during the first year of the Obama administration, nothing seems more like sheer insanity than the decision to try foreign terrorists, who have committed acts of war against the United States, in federal court, as if they were American citizens accused of crimes.

Worse Than Taxes – John Stossel at Townhall.com
   O'Reilly told me that America is ready for a tax revolt. I hope he's right. But I don't think it will happen until more people see the ruling elite for what it is: a gang of arrogant bullies that has the audacity to believe that they know how to direct our lives better than we do.
   That's why, bad as the taxes are, I'm more upset about ObamaCare, Medicare, the "stimulus," the auto bailout, the bank bailouts, the Fannie/Freddie bailouts, the trillions in guarantees, and on and on.
   The politicians' spending schemes represent presumptuous interference in our lives. They are an assault on our autonomy.

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. ... Every man who parrots the cry of “stand by the President” without adding the proviso “so far as he serves the Republic” takes an attitude as essentially unmanly as that of any Stuart royalist who championed the doctrine that the King could do no wrong. No self-respecting and intelligent free man could take such an attitude." -- Theodore Roosevelt
