For the new year: Eleven self-evaluation questions for today’s leaders

Warren’s regulatory expansion is wrong answer to Equifax breach

Hoorah, long-promised regulatory and tax reform is finally here

By Robert Pembroke One of our morning newspapers published a column that was as close to being fake news as I have ever seen. The writer’s premise was that the middle-class taxpayers were going to be paying more taxes than they are paying now. Don’t you believe it! The tax…

Some things would make tax reform great but don't hold your breath

By Veronique de Rugy The House and Senate passed their own versions of a tax reform bill surprisingly fast. But now the hard work starts, as they need to turn those two bills into one. The trick is to produce a bill that can pass both chambers again, meaning a bill that appeases…

Jerusalem move was massive for one side - with nothing in return

By Fareed Zakaria With his decision to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem, President Trump did something puzzling for a person who claims to be a great deal-maker. He made a massive, pre-emptive concession to one side in a complicated negotiation without getting anything for…

Democrats say they're for the middle class but do they really want a tax cut?

By Robert Pembroke During my lifetime, there have only been two meaningful tax cuts for the middle class. The first was under Kennedy, a Democrat, and the second was under Reagan, a Republican. Both tax cuts grew the economy and put a lot of money in the pockets of the middle…

Headed to a networking event? Better brush up on how it's done

By Aga Merx “I am going to a networking event; how do I prepare?” Dress appropriately. If the event is for business owners, you want to represent your profession well. You want to dress in logo wear, in professional clothing that makes your company look good. Confirm the address…

Budget process confirms a bipartisan tradition of enabling spendaholics

By Veronique de Rugy Our national debt is $20.5 trillion and heading to $30 trillion by 2030. You’d think that this would be a wake-up call for Republicans — who control all three branches of government — to finally take spending seriously. Instead, they want to get rid of the…

Just how can the Republican tax plan be a politically successful strategy?

By Fareed Zakaria Watching the Republican tax plan race through Congress, one is reminded of a big apparent difference between Donald Trump’s program and other populist movements in the Western world. In America, Trump is leading something that is best described as plutocratic…

Gerrymandering is a really scary thing when you add 'big data' and AI to the mix

By Robert Pembroke The other night Catherine Kanter scared the bejesus out of me. Kanter is the campaign manager for Better Boundaries, which is a nonpartisan group that is dedicated to eliminating gerrymandering in the state of Utah. Gerrymandering has been around for a long…

Did you remember to give thanks for the farm subsidies and price controls?

By Veronique de Rugy It’s that time of year again. Millions of Americans gathered for Thanksgiving meals of turkey and plentiful sides. I hope you enjoyed yourself, because as a taxpayer, a consumer or even a producer of some of that food, you paid a stiff price for the…

Guys, just do the right thing when it comes to tax reform (and healthcare)

By Robert Pembroke In 2004, Congress passed a bill that allowed companies to bring overseas assets back home if they paid a tax of only 5 percent and during the next three years, 15 of the companies that repatriated assets raised the salaries of their senior executives, cut…

Want improved performance from your people? Try increasing your recognition

By Richard Tyson A few years ago, I was on a commercial flight to Chicago. Like most of these, the flight was routine — long and boring. I was seated over the port-side wing of the aircraft and as we descended toward the tarmac at O’Hare, there was a sudden jolt. I was looking…
