Less than two decades ago, a relatively unknown state assemblyman named Jim Gibbons authored a simple, one-paragraph tax restraint initiative. His proposal required that any and all tax increases gain a two-thirds supermajority vote of the Legislature in order to pass.

May “you live in interesting times.” Many assume this saying is an ancient Chinese curse, or blessing, depending on how you look at it.
The environmental movement thrives in a fantasy world where economic realities don’t apply. The concept of weighing costs against benefits is anathema to their doctrines — the greens won’t move from the position that no cost is too great to impose on American taxpayers and consumers to realize the smallest perceived benefit.
