Cash For Clunkers has proven the conservative point of taxing less to benefit the economy, and here’s how. [...]

According to an article on Townhall.com, roughly $80 billion has been paid out so far, [...]

In the private sector, a company will spend millions of dollars on a single executive’s pay each year.  This isn’t because the companies are wasteful [...]
