      2011., Encounter Books Edition: eBook ed.    Summary Note: Most people do not know that already enacted in current law for 2013 are increases in the top tax rates of virtually every major federal tax. That is because the tax increases of Obamacare become effective that year, and the Bush tax cuts expire, which Obama has refused to renew for the nation's small businesses, job creators and investors.Also by 2013 Obama's regulatory tsunami will be building to a crescendo of increased costs on the economy. And the Fed, now committed to maintaining loose monetary policy through the election, will be reversing course right after to head off inflation, which will add to the contractionary effects on the economy.The result will be one whopping, horrendous, record shattering recession, unless America changes course. In this explosive Broadside, former Reagan White House policy advisor Peter Ferrara exposes the final calamitous consequences of Obama's assault on prosperity.

      2017., McGill-Queen's University Press Call No: QWF 336.7109 H434t    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Carleton library series   Volume: 240.Summary Note: "What if Canadian history was actually about the money? In 1867, Canadians wrote themselves a new constitution because they needed a new tax deal. Confederation was not just about the taxes, but it was never not about the taxes, and the founding principles of 'Peace, Order, and Good Government' should be reconsidered accordingly. Modern Canada, like Britain, France, and the United States, was born of a tax revolt. But in Canada, George Brown's tax revolt became John A. Macdonald's tax coup: a quasi-imperial fiscal federalism that successfully withstood half a century's worth of popular agitation before it began to unravel. This book describes how politics in Canada became social politics between 1867 and 1917. Canada was constructed in 1867 amidst fierce debates about fair taxation and reconstructed in 1917 amidst even fiercer ones. What did fairness mean to Canadians? That was always a 'who' question as well as a 'what' question. Some people demanded fairness for their region, others demanded fairness for their race, and still others rewrote fairness to reflect changing understandings of wealth, poverty, and land ownership. Successive chapters provide detailed case studies of those local debates and then recount how the new ideas gradually infiltrated and transformed federal politics. But the old regime did not die quietly. It fought bitterly for its clientelist, regressive fiscal federalism and the Canadian people paid a terrible price for their tax reforms. The story of that struggle has never been more timely."--
