ConHome have kindly published my article.

Anonymous said...: I liked it but it reveals how many in my party are illiberal and economically ignorant. I can only groan when I read lines against a tax-and-regulate regime such as "I don't want the government to profit off drugs". So we should only tax nice things like income? I guess they'd be against the confiscation of drug dealers' assets and other proceeds of crime. Do not touch the unclean thing and all that.; 15 May 2008 at 22:17
