Fiscal conservatives who advocate low tax rates, and even complete replacement of the income tax code with a consumption tax, can be assured that they are on the right side of history, and the right side of economic common sense.

Liberals of both political parties who decry low tax rates would harm our nation’s economic infrastructure, and the poor and wealthy alike.

Nearly everyone has a chance to succeed in our dynamic economy, provided that government does not confiscate their wealth through the tax code.

As former President Abraham Lincoln once stated, “That some should be rich shows that others may become rich and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise .

I don't believe in a law to prevent a man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good.” Herman Cain is host of the nationally syndicated radio talk show The Bottom Line with Herman Cain and a contributing columnist on Townhall.com.

"Pork Watch: Call Your Senators" U.S.

Senators Tom Coburn, M.D.

(R-OK) and John McCain (R-AZ) told their Senate colleagues recently they would challenge every individual earmark, ...

He earned notoriety in the late 1970s after he began treating Wilson, the songwriting genius behind the iconic California band, whose career had disintegrated in a haze of drugs and phobias after a decade at the top of the musical charts.

Hired in 1975 by Wilson's wife, Landy took control of the rock star's life, monitoring him 24 hours a day with a team of assistants to keep him off drugs and junk food; Wilson's weight by then had ballooned to more than 300 pounds.

Landy grew so close to Wilson that he participated in Wilson's comeback as his manager and artistic collaborator - an ethical breach that eventually caused the psychologist to give up his license to practice in California.

Born in Pittsburgh, Landy was the only child of Jules, a physician, and Frieda, a psychology professor.

He claimed to have dropped out of school after the sixth grade because of severe dyslexia and worked odd jobs, eventually winding up in radio as producer of a program aimed at teenagers.

He later became a record promoter.

He moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s and shifted career goals.

He studied chemistry at Los Angeles City College before earning a bachelor's in psychology at California State, L Angeles, in 1964.

Allan has thymus cancer.The thymus gland lies in the middle of the upper chest, under the breast bone.

In children it produces and processes lymphocytes, especially T-lymphocytes that are white cells that protect us from outside invaders like viruses.

Over time, it shrivels to near nothing.

But, rarely, it can become cancerous in an adult.

“There was a tumor or there was a mass the size of roughly a lemon if not an orange in the middle of my chest between my heart and my lung.

There are only 500 of them diagnosed in the united states a year and there are a good number of physicians who offices I went into who had to look in their own medical books to look for where the thymus was,” says Allan.

And that was the problem: a lack of information for such an uncommon tumor.

“There is no textbook when it comes to thymus cancer.

You visit one oncologist and they tell you to take one protocol and then you visit a second they tell you a second protocol.”Allan found the best expert he could find, and his surgery and chemo are behind him; but today he is hardl...
