Mainstreamers Behaving Badly: Could Wisconsin Happen in Florida?

April 12, 2012 - 6:00pm

If ever a story carried a ring of familiarity, the Gov. Scott Walker recall in Wisconsin is it for me. It's the story of a tea-party-conservative governor roundly disliked by unions, sour-grapes election losers and a liberal press.

Now We Know Ann Romney; Thanks a Lot, Hilary Rosen

April 12, 2012 - 6:00pm

Thank you, Hilary Rosen. Until you unwittingly spit in the face of women who chose the career path that you and I didn't, I had no idea who Ann Romney was or how much I like her.

Looks Like Exxon Mobil Is Out to Crush Florida's Energy Bill, Corleone-Style

April 11, 2012 - 6:00pm

It's like that scene from "The Godfather," when Don Corleone tells the undertaker Bonasera, "Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me."

Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Women: Talk About Selective Memory

April 9, 2012 - 6:00pm

Letter to Rick Scott: Give Paula Dockery Her Sit-Down

April 5, 2012 - 6:00pm

Gov. Scott, I can think of half a dozen reasons why you should hear out Sen. Paula Dockery over the University of South Florida Polytechnic decision. But the one that should motivate you on a personal level? Gratitude.

Repeal IPAB: Hands-Down Scariest Part of Obamacare

April 3, 2012 - 6:00pm

There isn't enough lipstick in Washington to pretty-up Obamacare's so-called "death panel." Or to hide the dangers it poses to seniors in 2015.

Why We Need to Keep the Penny (and Dollar Bill) in Circulation

April 1, 2012 - 6:00pm

The Canadians are getting rid of their penny. Let them. Let's be smarter than they are and cling to ours like ivy on a garden wall.

America Takes Dubious First-Place Honors: Highest Corporate Tax Rate

April 1, 2012 - 6:00pm

Overnight, the United States of America laid claim to a top spot it didn't want -- "the highest jobs-killing corporate tax rate in the indistrialized world," 39.2 percent.

Unfortunately, says a key member of the Business Roundtable, we're No. 1.

It happened Sunday, when Japan cut its rate to 36.8 percent. What to do about it now, how to get back in the competitive mix to keep the U.S. a leader in the worldwide economy -- that's a top priority for economists the country over -- but particularly for the Business Roundtable.
