Extending and strengthening the most recent Jones Act waiver would help America respond to potential supply interruptions or price increases resulting from conflict in the Middle East as well as future emergencies.

Good insight from NTU Board Member Steve Forbes about keeping the COINS Act focused strictly on national security threats.
Overbroadening outbound investment bans to the biopharmaceutical industry could harm U.S. security and hand a competitive edge to Europe, whose industry is already plagued by big government.
The COINS Act rightly targets investments that could strengthen China's military capabilities. Expanding restrictions broadly to biopharma risks driving valuable drug discoveries to European competitors instead of U.S. companies. That's not protecting American leadership.

"State lawmakers should reform tangible personal property laws so they're uniform, neutral, simple, and stable," Pete Sepp, President of National Taxpayers Union said. "Data centers are the manufacturing plants of the information age, and our laws should reflect that reality with equal treatment."

Americans must pay attention to the violence and unrest in France. While many factors are at play that we'll leave to others to examine, one deserves particular scrutiny: a government struggling to pay for promises it has made.
Both France and the U.S. must make difficult decisions about spending reform. In France, proposed spending reductions have become a breaking point amid broader economic and political frustrations.

Today we celebrate the 40th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan's Tax Reform Act of 1986. ALEC's @jmeyer01223 relays the historical impact this legislation has had and how it kickstarted the state flat tax revolution.

In the face of ongoing disruptions in energy supplies, a coalition encourages @POTUS to announce an extension of your Jones Act waiver.

This action promotes energy dominance and mitigates supply disruptions as global supply disruptions continue. At a time when energy prices remain a concern for American families, your decision has paid off commendably for our nation. We hope you will continue this winning policy.

$47 TRILLION for Medicare for All?
With the midterms approaching, the debate over government-run health care is heating up — and critics warn the price tag could mean massive tax increases and the end of most private health insurance plans.
@NTU's Brandon Arnold tells @janjeffcoat that the proposed overhaul could hit middle-class families, small businesses and Americans who already have coverage they like.
Policymakers must ensure Medicaid remains a lifeline for vulnerable children — not a vehicle for wasteful spending.

We couldn't agree more, @ForFreeMarkets!
Restricting exports of diesel would disrupt established supply chains while weakening incentives for refiners to maximize production and invest in additional capacity.
Diesel export bans are just a bad idea.
The taxes that have been floated include:
💲Employer income tax
💲Individual income tax
💲Increasing progressivity of income tax (top rate 52%)
💲Higher capital gains taxes
💲Wealth tax
💲Death tax
💲Small business tax
💲Health care tax
💲Banking tax
Even after all these job killing, economy wrecking tax hikes, this plan would likely add $2 trillion to the deficit EVERY YEAR.
