(2/24/2007) This weekend I will join my friends at Forbes on Fox to discuss the impact of Hillary’s policy wish list on the economy and markets, celebrity pay and tax policy, the government role in corporate mergers, and merger stocks to keep an eye on. The show airs at 11AM in New York and 8AM in Los Angeles as part of Neil Cavuto’s Cost of Freedom Saturday morning block of shows. I hope you can join us.

Dr. Rutledge,
I enjoyed your defense of capitalism on this morning’s program. Though I’m definitely not a fan of the “celebrity” politcal mantra, it’s assenine to go after their money in the form of special, higher, income taxes (or whatever the Forbes/Fox group was getting at). That said, if they (the celebs) really do believe in their cause and need for higher government intervention and revenue for pet projects (like socialized medicine) rest assure the IRS does allow them to overpay into the system as high of % of their income as they please. I know you are well aware of this, just wanted to vent. Also, is it just me or have they dumbed down the cast a bit too much with some of the newbies? I do have respect for David Asman and Steve Forbes and others of course, but I’d say the intellect on Kudlow is more your speed sir.
