Ready for Hillary?

April 13, 2015 by Michael Levy in Volume 2 Issue 24, Alex Klosner

Now that Hillary Clinton has officially announced her candidacy, Americans must ask themselves an important question: What exactly is so great about Hillary Clinton? The media, Democrats, and college students all have a frightening infatuation with her. Amidst the recent e-mail scandal, much of the liberal media has already gone to extraordinary lengths to protect the presumed Democratic nominee. Despite their pretensions to diversity, liberals have failed to promote a politically or ethnically diversified field of candidates. They’ve elevated Clinton to celebrity status, but her resume is besmirched by scandal and outright incompetence.

October 20, 2014 by Enquiry Editor in Volume 2 Issue 8, Alex Klosner

The historic 2010 midterm elections proved to be one of the most successful election years for the GOP. Republicans won six U.S. senate seats, 63 seats in the House of Representatives, six governorships, and 680 seats in state legislators. Apprehension towards the Affordable Care Act and the overall perception of the Obama Administration gave rise to the Tea Party, the boisterous, right wing faction of the GOP. Establishment Republicans such as Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski and Delaware Congressman Michael Castle lost their primaries to “anti-establishment” Tea Party candidates.

The United States suffers from the highest corporate tax rate in the developed world: an appalling federal rate of 35%. Comparatively, the UK has a corporate tax rate of 21% and Ireland a mere 12.5%. This excessive taxation hinders domestic investment and job growth and encourages corporations to relocate overseas.

Affirmative Action and Asians

September 08, 2014 by Enquiry Editor in Volume 2 Issue 2, Alex Klosner

A favorite strategy of the Democratic Party is to focus on winning over particular ethnic groups. Asian voters, a small percentage of the electorate, do not receive the same kind of attention as other minority voters. However, it is no secret that a majority of Asian Americans support the Democratic Party. This hasn’t always been the case. Voting patterns reveal that the Democrat Party has succeeded in winning the loyalty of a significant majority of Asian Americans over the past two decades. In the 1996 presidential election where Asians made up just one percent of all voters; 44% voted for Bill Clinton and 48% voted for Republican contender Bob Dole. In the most recent presidential election, the number of Asians voting grew to three percent; and 73% voted for Barack Obama and only 26% voted for Mitt Romney. Despite overwhelming support for Democratic candidates, affirmative action policies supported by the left often undermine Asian Americans.
