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.

The Fiction of the Costless Tax

Our tax dollars at work... :-(

By John Hood
Carolina Journal

CHARLOTTE – The city of Charlotte is about to have a new government-funded tourist attraction – the NASCAR Hall of Fame – but it won’t cost local residents any new taxes, say the city and county officials who favor the deal. That’s because most of the cost, $118 million out of $155 million for the museum and attached facilities, will come from higher taxes levied on hotel stays.
