I'm a libertarian. It's a terrible word.

When workers can get and equal return for less effort, workers make less effort

Many people are priced out of the medical and insurance markets for one reason: the politicians refusal to give up power. Allowing them to seize another 16 percent of the economy won't solve our problems. Freedom will.

What I've learned in 40 years of consumer reporting is that the market is imperfect, and some people get ripped off.

I had to watch government fail for 25 years doing consumer reporting before I really saw it because intuitively, the reaction is problem, bring government and government will make it better.

Where I live in Manhattan and where I work at ABC, people say conservative the way people say child molester.

David Boaz has been my guide to the history, economics, and politics of freedom for years.
