it's a pleasure to be here at cato. thank you everyone for coming. i know it's tax day so he may have pressing issues on your mind. but, i'm sure there's a lot of curiosity about events and north africa. why did the dictators who seem to be immovable suddenly find the strength of their regimes fail and their power dissipate. i think peter is absolutely correct, the skills and the power of the deliberate campaign of the nonviolent resistance are the immediate answer, these movements in tunisia and egypt were not spontaneous outpourings , they were the fruit of years of organizing which had produced numerous student demonstrations and labor strikes but it took years in certain locations for the organization to strike a chord and draw the support that was necessary to strip away from support from the leaders i would say i also believe it's important leaders in many ways created their own weaknesses and vulnerabilities and was the combination of this vulnerability by the ruling family and a well-organized will fall out campaign of civil resistance that p

prosperity video we're going to analyze the economic impact of government spending on dan mitchell and the cato institute there are eight ways that government spending can undermine economic performance it's a lie now in power republicans are plenty use this lie to advance the interests of corporate c.e.o.'s and wall street the very people who started this line more than eighty years ago saying franklin roosevelt social security program was socialism until the latest to stalin as a that's why when reagan came into power he immediately cut taxes on the rich in an effort to starve the beast of government reagan famously claimed this phrase the. here coming. from the government and i'm hearing from bat from that point on government was public enemy number one after all it's government that has the power to stop big polluters from poisoning us it's government that has the power to tax huge profits on wall street to discourage danial of dangerous speculation it's government that has the power to enforce labor regulations to protect workers therefore its government stands in the way of millionaires a

the cato institute another conservative one group back in two thousand and seven said this the key to our own success has been its excellent tax climate for business ireland establish one of the lowest rates in the world just one third of the u.s. rate low business tax rates have helped ireland attract huge inflows of foreign investment and in two thousand and seven the conservative american enterprise institute had this to say the real credible arms to irish fiscal policy beginning in the late one nine hundred eighty successive irish governments pursued vital spending cuts and tax relief which have made it a magnet for powerhouse firms and quote in two thousand and eight g.o.p. icon sean hannity in an interview with senator john mccain you are right about ireland's tax rates they did large tax rates on businesses and it's been a big economic boom for them and finally potential g.o.p. presidential hopeful mitt romney in two thousand and eight said quote you take a nation like ireland for exists for instance like a tax rate i believe it's less than half the tax rate most of the other e

i'm with the cato institute. that is that precisely the point i want to get it. i could not help noticing that in the presentation, there is no mention of the communist party line. you say it is still top down but when i talk to be under chinese, they never bring up the communist party. , never. i have been struck by this and i'm wondering if we are not seeing a gradual transition here. i want to press this issue further. how important is the communist party now? with the tolerance of the schools of thought in which they are allowed to debate regardless of the official position, are we seeing the emergence gradually of a multi-party system, something evolutionary rather than all at once? >> we have 10 minutes so i will take two more questions. >> i am from the east-west center. this may be related to the project as a whole. frequently, we talk about schools of thought. we focus essentially on international issues on foreign policy. the making of foreign policy, domestic politics, domestic issues, the type of political system, all that plays into domestic farm pol

the years, any reporter who needs a quote on deadline can get somebody on the phone from heritage or cato or whatever and balance out their story. then you have a story where you probably have a pretty accurate rendering somewhere in the story. but it's very hard for readers to differentiate fact from fiction. it's just not part of the reporting model to do the kind of presentation that i did today, look at this. then look at the data that suggests that this may not be true. that's just not the way they -- that's just not the way our media does it. it's up to you. >> thanks. i'd like to do a flipside to the lie that i brought up to you before that i discussed regarding tea bills going south. sometimes more i think perhaps more honestly, you'll hear the right say, well, whatever money we have to spend has to be spend militarily. because to the extent that we are arguing to protect our investments, we have to show that we're an ever muscle flexing and very secure country because that'll mean that people will want to put their money here because we're safe, we're secure, and the military pro

does appear you see a dramatic asymmetry between the economics sphere and the federalists, heritage, cato cei, others respond to these issues as a way that i think the public law is established, trial lawyers, union lawyers, human rights lawyers and so on and their intellectual allies. one seems to be strategic, looking for precedence, the other seems to be winning cases. is there some way of raising the strategic awareness of our side to recognize we're in a culture war, and we are fighting it tactically and defensively? >> well, fred, where you get me going is you talk about culture war as a metaphor. i prefer culture piece. but the question is -- culture peace. but the question is why the asymmetry. and let me pursue that for a moment because i spent a fair bit of time in the book talking about how if you move from groups like the american civil liberty union to law school clinics and programs in adjacent areas, you find a whole lot of overlap. you find cooperation, you find sometimes a revolving door of highly-qualified personnel, you find that the publications and the round tables an

read them and distinguish them i think and the critiques in the national affairs are different than cato institute they are in some ways but some of the differences reappear. i think they will reappear this year actually when the republicans and the house would cut the budget, but are the priorities, how old, are we ready to retire the welfare state or trying to get rid of social security or put it on sound footing there i think the neoconservatives verses, libertarian conservative or more traditional conservative issues differences will come up. i would also say there are many strange neoconservatism's. my father probably moved somewhat over the years and one has to make practical judgment, has to make practical judgment, too. if 90% of the budget of the gdp is going to the government to concede that's okay with don't have to be concerned of the welfare state that much. just some programs are counterproductive and others are fine and if you suddenly have a big increase in the size of the government you might say we need to be more concerned in the libertarian way and could when. my fath

the new conservative critique we could feed them and distinguished in the national affairs at the cato institute putting up but they are there in some ways but some of the differences reappear a lot this year actually when the republicans and the house to talk about how should we cut the budget, what are the priorities, how bold and dramatic. are we trying to get rid of social security? their think video conservative versus libertarian conservative or more traditional conservative issues. there are many strains of the neoconservatism at my father moved somewhat over the years and to meet critical judgments, too. if 90% of the budget and the gdp is going to the government and with the size of the welfare state which is concerned about the programs counter-productive and others increasing the size of the government and more libertarian way keeping this and checked so once it becomes more slickly libertarian and libertarian because my father was a critique of hayek in 1970, very interesting which is fairly tough i would say on the libertarianism. i would say in the later years a little bi

previously at the cato institute, and a speech writer for the first president bush. zeke emanuel is the chair of the department of clinical department of bioethics. it was oncologist and had doctorates in medicine and political philosophy from harvard university. he has been an advisor on health-care policy for 10 administrations, including the present one. among his many books is one called "health care guaranteed," which you know i constantly code as the best book written on the subject. i only wish the administration were paying closer attention to what zito said in that vote. that is another topic for another time. susan neely is president and ceo of the american beverage association. she's worked in legislative and executive branches of federal government in the state government on a range of policies. including especially health care. n, ininally, scott kaha the weight management center. and at authority on nutrition and an author of many books on the subject and a member of many panels advising governments on health care policy. that is our group. i want to st

host: our guest has worked as a social security analyst at the cato institute and worked as a senior policy analyst under chairman cox. carrie lukas is now the executive director of the independent women's forum. guest: we recognize that women are affected by a whole lot of issues so we write about taxes, the budget, education. healthcare is a big topic for us. please go and take a look. host: however you find it? guest: private donations and individuals. host: republican caller, welcome to the program. caller: i appreciate the opportunity, first of all. i thank carrie lukas for the quality of reformation. america should be proud of what we are doing in the area of women's rights and opportunities. it is very good to hear her talk about the convoluted statistics that our president is trying to give to the american people. it clears that up for me. i sometimes hear in the tv or in the newspaper, but thank you for your good information. it sounds like we may need an independent men's organization to support some of the gunmen here need a couple of things. the first as education and ano

and here's what william niskana and benefit friedman of the cato institute say -- quote -- "democracies cannot accurately evaluate policies with hidden costs. deficit financing sends war bills to future taxpayers. that limits the extent to which voters and their representatives weigh the war's costs against other priorities. the effect is to make war feel cheaper than it is." unquote. and here's what dean baker of the center for economic policy research said, "the vast majority of people in the country have no direct connection to the people serving in the military. if we think that a situation requires the men and women in our military to risk their own lives, then the rest of us should at least be willing to pay for the cost of this adventure with our tax dollars." my resolution makes budgetary sense and makes moral and political sense, that's why i'm confident my resolution will garner the support of my colleagues and of the american people. i think americans understand that the way we've gone about paying for the wars in iraq and afganistan by borrowing and putting the financial bur
