A new poll shows that 61% of Coloradans want a copy of Arizona’s law allowing law enforcement to investigate those they encounter who exhibit reasonable suspicion of being an illegal alien. A recent study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform discovered that illegal aliens cost Colorado taxpayers more than $1.1 billion per year, or about $612 per household. Additionally, between $730 million and $1 billion per year of wages paid to illegal aliens is sent out of the country instead of being reinvested in local communities. More than 10% of the students in Colorado public schools are the children...

Imagine the audacity of wanting to dispose of your own money as you see fit? The idea is hateful to Bill Scher of the Huffington Post, who demanded in "Super Wealthy Deathly Afraid Estate Tax Would Reduce Deficit" on March 9 that the wealthy "pay their fair share." Scher railed against the Bush tax cuts, and asserted that a 35-45 percent inheritance penalty (the estate tax or death tax) isn't punitive enough to stem the deficit crisis. "But those massive tax breaks to the superwealthy don't quite have the same juice they used to. Especially, the estate tax - levied...

Thomas Sowell is currently running a blistering series in his column at Townhall.com focused on the liberal perversion of “fairness.” In his latest entry, Part III, Sowell highlights the difference between genuine fairness and the Left’s contrived variety: People like philosopher John Rawls call treating everyone alike merely “formal” fairness. Professor Rawls advocated “a conception of justice that nullifies the accidents of natural endowment and the contingencies of social circumstances.” He called for a society which “arranges” end-results, rather than simply treating everyone the same and letting the chips fall where they may. Sowell later evokes the example of track...

If there is ever a contest to pick which word has done the most damage to people's thinking, and to actions to carry out that thinking, my nomination would be the word "fair." It is a word thrown around by far more people than have ever bothered to even try to define it. This mushy vagueness may be a big handicap in logic but it is a big advantage in politics. All sorts of people, with very different notions about what is or is not fair, can be mobilized behind this nice-sounding word, in utter disregard of the fact that...

Oregon voters approved tax-hikes for the rich to close their $733 million state budget gap..........Union leaders and local democrats in Oregon cried for weeks how the rich (households earning over $250,000 a year) should pay their fair share or else the whole school system in the state will collapse. Folks in Oregon want their kids educated but apparently majority is not willing to pay extra for it and ordered somebody else to do it. If they really wanted everybody to pay their fair share they would have voted tax-hikes for everybody not for just for few. Oregon voters decided to...

Last Tuesday, the Congressional Research Service (CRS), which is the non-partisan "research arm" of the United States Congress, issued a report that concludes that illegal aliens will be able to receive benefits under the House health care bill (H.R. 3200) through two major loopholes. (See CRS Report and FAIR Press Release, August 26, 2009). According to its own website, CRS is a legislative branch agency that provides Congress with "policy and legal analysis" that is authoritative, objective and accurate. (CRS website). The latest CRS report validates what FAIR has been saying for the past month and a half — that...
