Both plans involve significant changes to the federal tax system, as The Heritage Foundation's Center for Data Analysis details in a new overview and assessment of their respective economic effects [www.heritage.org]. The Obama plan also suffers by proliferating and expanding refundable tax credits, which further - and inappropriately - transform our income tax system into an incomesupport system. [...] the Obama plan raises income tax rates, raises payroll taxes on a delayed basis and actively increases use of the tax system to redistribute income to those who pay little or no income tax - helping them by spreading Joe's and others' wealth around, as Obama earnestly explained.

William W. Beach is The Heritage Foundation's chief numbers cruncher, overseeing its Center for Data Analysis, which produces original statistical research on taxes, Social Security, energy, crime, education, trade and a host of other issues.
The center headed by Beach is often asked by federal lawmakers to analyze their draft legislation because it can produce a reliable estimate more quickly than a Capitol Hill agency.

You don't have to be a political guru to peg 2009 as a watershed year in American public policy. But even seasoned Washington insiders might not appreciate just how special that year was.
Not only did the federal government effectively take over half of the U.S. economy, it also expanded public-sector debt by more than all previous governments combined. And much of that growth in debt came in programs that actively increase citizens' dependence on government.
According to preliminary estimates by the Heritage Foundation's Center for Data Analysis, the Index o...

The United States no longer ranks among the world's free economies. For the first time in its 16-year history, the "Index of Economic Freedom" (published by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal) grades our economy as only "mostly free.
For Americans who haven't suffered a job loss or pay cuts in the last two years, "mostly free" may feel little different from "free." But for the nearly 20 million who lack work or the millions more who find themselves earning a lot less, this news can help answer the question, "Why me?"

THE Obama administration and leading congressional Democrats have argued that to save the globe, Americans need to kill their own economy.
The majority party proposed to accomplish this goal by imposing $751 billion in new energy taxes on their constituents over 10 years to compel them to stop using coal and oil and force them to subsidize solar and wind power.

Halloween is still weeks away, yet already a specter haunts Washington. It is the specter of dependency. Every passing year sees significant growth in the mass of Americans dependent on the federal government for life's necessities, from basic nutrition to shelter and health care.
This implacable trend - long a concern of economists and political scientists - is beginning to alarm ordinary citizens as well. They rightly sense that growing dependency drives the explosion of federal spending and public debt. They are connecting the dots between out-of-control spending and the public debt crisis here and abroad. They are guessing, again rightly, that every passing day makes controlling dependency more and more difficult, perhaps even more dangerous.
