Obama Uses IRS to Eliminate His Enemies
One of the most roundly condemned aspects of Richard Nixon's malfeasance in office was his use of the IRS to target his political enemies with audits. If people shudder at Nixon's abuses with the IRS, what Obama is doing should drive them to convulsions.

Higher Oil Prices Are Taxing Americans, But Solution Is Possible
At the beginning of this year, many Americans opened their paychecks to find that their take-home pay was suddenly less than it had been the previous month.
