Ann Coulter vs. Nick Gillespie Libertarianism and Conservatism: Can we pull it together in 2012? Find out at our 27th Annual Founders’ Night Dinner! We will have a spirited “can’t we all get along” style debate between Nick Gillespie of Reason Magazine and Ann Coulter. We’ll also be honoring Colorado’s most famous businessman Jake Jabs of American Furniture Warehouse! That's Thursday, February 16th. For more details and to RSVP, go here. Another Flawed Attempt to Regulate the Web The latest pile of bipartisan waste working its way through the bowels of Congress toward its ultimate destination is the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Ostensibly designed to prevent online piracy of movies and music, it will do nothing of the sort. When a piece of freedom-busting legislation has bipartisan support, you know we’re in trouble. Barry Fagin explains why SOPA is as bad as you've heard, and probably much worse in this op-ed. Corporate Welfare Run Wild We've all heard about the Solyndra scandal involving millions of taxpayer financed and government guaranteed loans gone bad, but have you heard about the Lowenstein Project? It's Denver's corporate welfare program gone bad. Harris Kenny's Denver Post op-ed explains why corporate welfare distorts the market, creates bad incentives, and often times leaves taxpayers to pick up the tab. Citizens' Budget This report provides an overview of the structure, timing and size of the State budget. We speak to how the problems originated and how things have gone wrong in recent years. The Citizens’ Budget includes legislative, constitutional, and policy recommendations to close the state budget gap – without raising taxes – and move Colorado towards sustainable government for good. The Cauldron Independence Institute president Jon Caldara has a blog! The Cauldron is where Jon takes on life, liberty, and libations everyday.
