- "The Trigger Point For Taxes" - a well-researched examination of historical conditions when taxes were cut or raised. Preview: we're beyond the point where taxes have historically increased...
- "Tax Cuts Might Accomplish What Spending Hasn't" - a great read. On a side note, I found it interesting that the NYT let Greg Mankiw write an op-ed.
- "Are Forced Savings Mechanisms Good?" - I think they're great for those weeks you don't want to think about saving money...
- "How to Deal With Fraud" - Wow, an epic story. Bret certainly used his attention to detail in this instance...
- "Should the U.S. Adopt a "Bonus Tax" Like Europe is Enacting?" - I sure hope they don't. My bonuses now seem to be split evenly between Uncle Sam and myself. Remember, a tax on working is a disincentive to work. Not the brightest idea in the current employment climate.
