Hal, no one cares how much you pay. We only care about how much you demand that we pay. You can pay 100%, if you so choose, now. Speaking of nouveau riche, I understand that the tax dodger, Kerry, has now decided to pay up.

Elton John is leading yet another “British Invasion” in America.

He is “invading” American media and pop-culture circles with some very basic – and very healthy – attitudes and behaviors that affirm capitalism and American-styled free market enterprise.

Elton may seem like an unlikely spokesperson for such a noble agenda. Yet many of America’s most basic understandings of freedom and economic liberty are grounded in the words of another Brit – Adam Smith – whose magnum opus “The Wealth of Nations” was first published in the historically significant year of 1776.

So it’s amusing to consider that...
