Even worse than taxes
Wednesday November 18, 2009 by John Stossel -- Bill O'Reilly is mad at me because I'm not mad enough about taxes. Last week on "The O'Reilly Factor," we talked about California's and New York's enormous budget deficits and planned tax increases. Those states would have big surpluses had they just grown their governments in ...

Questions central planners can't answer
Wednesday November 11, 2009 by John Stossel -- As an American, I am embarrassed that the U.S. House of Representatives has 220 members who actually believe the government can successfully centrally plan the medical and insurance industries. I'm embarrassed that my representatives think that government can subsidize the consumption ...

The truth about journalists' bias
Wednesday November 04, 2009 by John Stossel -- I made the New York Times last week. It even ran my picture. My mother would be proud. Unfortunately, the story was critical. It said, "Critics have leaped on Mr. Stossel's speaking engagements as the latest evidence of conservative bias on the part of Fox." Which "critics" ...

Self-governance works

Wednesday October 14, 2009 by John Stossel -- Michael Moore is confused. His new movie, "Capitalism: A Love Story," begins by suggesting that all was well until Ronald Reagan became president and cut the top 90 percent income tax rate. Everything was downhill from there. But by the end of the movie, he says the problems ...

When half gives and half takes
Wednesday October 07, 2009 by John Stossel -- "The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," George Bernard Shaw once said.

Claiming success no matter what
Wednesday September 30, 2009 by John Stossel -- This Friday, September's job-loss total will be announced. Whatever the numbers, administration officials surely will tell us that life is better – because of them. "We brought the global economy back from the brink," President Obama said at the close of the G-20 meeting last week. "(B)ecau ...

A libertarian at Fox
Wednesday September 23, 2009 by John Stossel -- When I announced last week that I was leaving ABC for Fox, some readers complained about my "bias." I replied: "Every reporter has political beliefs. The difference is that I am upfront about mine." Look at today's burning issue: President Obama' ...
