Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

A flat tax for the U.S.?

The Center for Freedom and Prosperity writes:

For over a decade, tax collectors from the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have carried out a campaign of threats and intimidation against low-tax jurisdictions to force them to abolish bank secrecy and enforce the fiscal laws of high-tax nations.

That campaign now lies in tatters. Andrew Quinlan, head of the Center for Freedom and Prosperity (CF&P), explains why high-tax governments haven't been able to stamp out tax competition, and what's ahead in the way of lower taxes and simpler, less coercive tax collection.
