11:16 PM - Taxpayers Rights This evening I had the opportunity to hear Oklahoma State Senator Randy Brogdon (R-Owasso) speaking in support for of a proposed Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR), that is, "a set of budget and tax policies that limit the growth of government taxation and spending to inflation plus population growth." Despite all the bad press that schemes for limiting government spending (e.g. in Colorado) has been getting on NPR and elsewhere, this is a fabulous idea, and the first time in quite awhile I have seen the GOP attempt to "walk the talk" on limited government. I applaud Sen. Brogdon for his efforts and for his wilingness to present his admirable ideas to a (mostly friendly) libertarian crowd. Now if only the GOP could be made to realize that criminalizing consensual activity is a huge part of the big government problem, then my party could exist contendedly on the fringes of political discourse, knowing that we had made a positive difference in daming the flow mainstream power politics.
