The Best Editorial Page out there is. . .

Investor's Business Daily.  IBD publishes easy to read editorials that show the benefits of free markets and capitalism.  A sample:

Taxes:  A group of congressional Democrats, aching to return to power, have a bold idea: Repeal the Trump tax cuts, raise taxes on the rich and corporations, then give everyone else a guaranteed income each month from the proceeds. Haven't we been down this road before?

Tax Fairness:  Whenever the debate turns to taxes, one side invariably claims that the rich don't pay their "fair share." But they never say what a fair tax code would look like.

Climate Change:  The output of so-called greenhouse gases continued to fall during President Trump's initial year in office, new Environmental Protection Agency data show. This demonstrates once again the wisdom of Trump's decision to stop listening to the global warming Chicken Littles and withdraw the U.S. from the costly and ineffective Paris Climate deal.

Civil Society What happens when men physically assault female politicians or threaten them with poison? If those women are Republicans and the attackers are leftists, Democrats greet them with silence, excuses, or worse. So left-wing violence grows.

Media Bias:  When the mainstream press isn't busy putting out negative — and often false or misleading — stories about President Donald Trump, they're equally busy burying scandals that involve Democrats. The Media Research Center recently documented this flagrant bias by omission.

Taxes:  Critics of the Trump tax cuts said they would blow a hole in the deficit. Yet individual income taxes climbed 6% in the just-ended fiscal year 2018, as the economy grew faster and created more jobs than expected.

Jobs:  How extraordinary is this job boom? The government says that the number of jobs available has never been higher. There were 7.14 million jobs in August ready to be filled, an increase from July's 7.1 million, which was also a record. This is the best time in decades to be seeking a job, even if you're unemployed.
