Environmental activists constantly pressure government agencies to intervene in the lives of others, whether it is telling them how to run their businesses, where they can build their homes, or what types of food they can and cannot eat, among countless other examples. Another area activists are increasingly focusing on is forest management, telling tree farmers how they should manage their land. Common sense would tell you that a one-size-fits-all system of land management would not fit the diverse landscapes of the U.S., in terms of climate, elevation, and many other variables. Unfortunately, common sense is not that common among...

Group Calls on Kerry to Stop Collaborating With the EU NewsMax Wires Friday, Mar. 26, 2004 WASHINGTON — Earlier this month, Democratic Presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry proclaimed foreign leaders were pushing for him to win the election over President George W. Bush. According to a charge being levied by Americans for Tax Reform, Kerry, in fact, appears to be working with the Europeans to impose tariffs on U.S. made products in key swing states. “It’s official,” said taxpayer advocate Grover Norquist., president of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). “Europe is actively participating in the U.S. election and is collaborating...

On Aug. 30, a three-judge panel of the World Trade Organization issued its final ruling in a trade dispute that dates back to the Nixon Administration. The international court authorized the European Union to impose penalty tariffs on U.S. exports to Europe by as much as $4 billion a year, by far the largest penalty ever against any of the 144 nations in the Geneva-based trade organization.
