When I tried to open a lemonade stand outside my Fox office, I learned about the piles of regulations that make it so tough for new businesses to get off the ground. But it's not just burdensome paperwork. Some entrepreneurs are charged with crimes, simply for trying to be entrepreneurs.

Tonight, we'll be joined by small business owners who get squeezed.

The President constantly talks about "fairness." In a recent speech in Kansas, President Obama mentioned fairness a dozen times. The NY Times said the President's message was, "...his most pointed appeal yet for a strong governmental role through tax and regulation to level the economic playing field."

Does a "strong governmental role" mean "fairness?"

Tonight, my guests discuss what "fair" means... continue reading »

My last Fox News special "Illegal Everything" showed how government's mountain of rules stifle entrepreneurs and make criminals out of everyday people. I tried to open my own lemonade stand but New York City made it difficult... continue reading »

That's the title of tonight's show.

Ok, most bankers aren't evil. Except the ones who who took on too much risk, assuming housing prices would only rise -- then lost billions of dollars and were saved by a taxpayer-funded bailout. They are evil.

Maybe that's unfair. They just chased opportunity. I mostly blame the politicians who grabbed our money and bailed them out. Had they not done that, then the bankers would have just lost their own (and their reckless investors') money, not taxpayers' money... continue reading »

President Obama says his new budget will put the country on a more sustainable fiscal path, but his path adds $1.3 trillion dollars to our already massive debt.

What would happen if you planned your family's budget the way the politicians plan theirs? I showed people this chart:

My government spends trillions of our tax dollars and has the legal right to use violent force against us. I want to trust them. But can I? This week, we try to answer that question with the help of our guests.

Political pollster and word analyst Frank Luntz says politicians consistently mislead us, but rarely get caught due to the careful choice of phrases... continue reading »

I'm not happy.

I'm often too anxious to be happy. Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe it made me try harder in school and work.

Charles de Gaulle was once asked, "Are you happy?" He answered, "What do you take me for, an idiot?"

I know what he meant. Maybe my unhappiness led me to try harder and that earned me my own TV show... continue reading »

Just now, during his State of the Union address, President Obama promised a "blueprint for an economy."

How silly. Politicians always think they can concoct a simple "blueprint" to make life fairer and better for all. But I say: No, thanks. We don't need more planning and more taxes. We need to shrink government.

In this week's syndicated column, I write what I wish the president would have said:... continue reading »
