by Paul Benedict (libertarian)
Published: September 26, 2010
Proponents of a flat tax decry the complexities of the IRS and the tax code as a combination of corruption and social engineering.

A Tale of Two States: A Follow Up
by James Oaksun (libertarian)
Published: January 2, 2010
Recently I published an article where I identified Maine as being the poorest of the 48 continental US states, contrasted Maine's tax and budget policy with that of the wealthiest state (Wyoming), and made some recommendations. The most important recommendation was that Maine eliminate its corporate and personal income tax and replace it with a tax on carbon (i.e., oil, natural gas and coal). I thought it would be wise to respond to some of the comments made about the article and expand on some of the reasoning behind the approach I suggest, from my perspective as (in my mind anyway) a "practical libertarian."
