IRS Protectionism: New Licensing Scheme Challenged in Major Federal Lawsuit


For more visit www.ij.org Congress never gave the IRS the authority to license tax preparers, and the IRS can't give itself that power. But last year the IRS imposed a sweeping new licensing scheme that forces tax preparers to get IRS permission before they can work. This is an unlawful power grab that exceeds the authority granted to the IRS by Congress. The burden of compliance will fall most heavily on independent tax return preparers and small businesses. Unsurprisingly, big firms such as H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt support the licensing scheme. As The Wall Street Journal explained: "Cheering the new regulations are big tax preparers like H&R Block, who are only too happy to see the feds swoop in to put their mom-and-pop seasonal competitors out of business." These regulations are typical government protectionism. They benefit powerful industry insiders and at the expense of entrepreneurs and consumers, who will likely have fewer options and face higher prices. But tax preparers have a right to earn an honest living without getting permission from the IRS. And taxpayers—not the IRS—should be the ones who decide who prepares their taxes. That is why on March 13, 2012, three independent tax preparers joined the Institute for Justice in filing suit against the IRS in the US District Court for the District of Columbia. This lawsuit challenges the IRS's statutory authority to impose this licensing scheme, and seeks to overturn regulations that would affect an estimated <b>...</b>

Milton Friedman - Free Trade vs. Protectionism


Watch Friedman completely own this protectionist at 1:52. From Part 2 of the 1980 PBS Series ''Free to Choose''. Friedman puts forth one of the best arguments you will ever hear for why special government protection of select domestic industries hurts every other industry and every consumer. Truly free enterprise treats all businesses in all industries equally, which provides the highest quality and lowest prices, and therefore maximizes living standards and economic growth.

The effects of a protectionist subsidy


This video lecture uses basic supply and demand analysis to illustrate and explain the effects of a protectionist subsidy used by a government to increase domestic output of a product that would otherwise be imported. Such policies lead to a misallocation of resources and generally impose a greater cost on society than they provide in benefit.

WTO warns against protectionism


www.euronews.net The World Trade Organisation has said that global trade is slowing and it has cut its estimates for growth this year from 6.5 percent to 5.8 percent. The head of the WTO, Pascal Lamy, warned against protectionist moves by governments saying: "This is not the time for go-it-alone measures. This is the time to strengthen and preserve the global trading system so that it keeps performing this vital function in the future." The forecast is much lower than last year when global trade grew by over 14 percent after a 12 percent slump in 2009.

Protectionism As Method To Stop Globalization


Martin Stringer (CPAC) speaks with Thomas d'Aquino on Feb 13, 2009. Mr. d'Aquino was at the time of the interview was President & CEO of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives (CCCE). d'Aquino speaks on behalf of Corporate Canada and gives us some insight on how the multinational corporations operating out of Canada, feel about protectionist measures in Canada and the United States and how this effects everything they have been working towards. The Canadian government seems to be leading the cause against protectionism and has recently asked the World Trade Organization (WTO) to rule against an American food-labeling law that seems to have destroyed much of its hog-farming industry, states the New York Times. The dispute derives from an American rule requiring that food products be labeled by country of origin. The US government denies that labeling its food products is an act of protectionism, although Americans have decreased purchases of pork produced in Canada, traditionally about 7 percent of Canadian pork is consumed in the United States. No mention on how the American and Canadian consumer feels about proper food labeling so they can make the best food choices for their families.. The Canadian international trade minister, Stockwell Day, publicly criticized the rules "as so onerous that they affect the ability of our cattle and hog exporters to compete fairly in the United States." He said Canada "has no choice" but to request that the World Trade Organization <b>...</b>

Stephen Harper On Global Governance And Protectionism


Our Prime Minister Has Taken A Pledge Along With Other G8 & G20 Members With The World Trade Alliance, To Stop Any New Protectionist Measures. A Pledge Made To NOT Protect Canadian Business And Workers! Mr. Harper Insists That Canadians Want Global Governance and Global Governance Can Somehow Be Achieved Without A 'World Government' To Enforce It. Deep Integration With The United States Is The Name Of The Game And Prepares Canada & The United States To Be Inline With The New "Global Community" Where People All Across North America Can Be Good Global Citizens. It's clear that Stephen Harper does not understand what Canadians want and he is now operating far outside of his mandate. Was "Global Governance" one of the key issues he was elected on? Did he even mention this in his campaign? What Mr. Harper is talking about here is removing some of the ability for Canada to self govern. The word sovereignty can be said to mean "the quality of having supreme, independent authority over a territory" Allowing Canada to be governed on any issues globally, seems to be a step in the direction away from sovereignty. Was taking a pledge with the World Trade Alliance to ensure no new protectionist measures on your list of things you promised Canadians you would do Mr. Harper? I think not. In fact, if you ask most Canadians if they believe their own government should help protect their jobs, I'm almost 100% sure the average working person would say yes! Mr. Harper, you are working for us <b>...</b>

Daniel J. Ikenson Discusses US-China Trade Relations


www.cato.org www.cato.org An emerging narrative in 2012 is that a proliferation of protectionist Chinese policies is to blame for worsening US-China relations. There is no question that some Chinese policies have been discriminatory and provocative, but the US government has also indulged in protectionism and made some poor choices that have and will continue to fuel bilateral disputes. Responsible policymakers should be looking beyond the politics to find solutions that remind people in both countries of our interdependence and the mutual benefits of the relationship.

Ron Paul: Trade Wars and Protectionism are not Free Trade 9/21/09


www.house.gov CampaignForLiberty.com Two weeks ago, both the administration and the Fed announced with straight faces that the recession was over and the signs of economic recovery were clear. Then last week, the president made a stunning decision that signals the administrations determination to repeat the mistakes of the Great Depression. Much like the Smoot-Hawley Tariffs that set off a global trade war and effectively doomed us to ten more years of economic misery, Obamas decision to enact steep tariffs on Chinese imported tires could spark a trade war with the single most important trading partner we have. Not only does China manufacture a whole host of products that end up on American store shelves, they are also still buying our Treasury debt. One has to wonder why this course of action is being undertaken if the administration really believes its own statements about economic recovery. Why are they still trying to fix something they have supposedly already fixed? The most troubling thing is the rhetoric about free trade given to justify this. The administration claims it is merely enforcing trade policies and that this is necessary for free trade. This sort of double speak demonstrates a gross misunderstanding of free trade, economics and world history. Yet these are the same people the country trusts to solve our problems. This sort of thing should remove all doubt about the credibility of the decision makers in Washington. The truth is this will hurt American <b>...</b>

AM IA PROPERTY PROTECTIONIST? 1/2


As a libertarian I support the free market. I'm also a student aspiring to be a property owner and the ideas of foreign investment preventing first time buyers getting onto the property ladder concerns me. The property-owning democracy has so many benefits and solves issues arising if the welfare state was abolished. Property according to Locke is a natural right; surely it is fundamental that we encourage property ownership, but would it follow as a consequence limiting foreign investment? By upholding, promoting and extending property rights, do we limit the free market?
