The Great Tax Grab of 2000...

With Help From America:

American Jews act as if they are schizophrenic. They are among the most successful groups of individuals in the U.S. market economy, excelling in business, finance, and entrepreneurship. U.S. Jews have also supported the establishment of a massive government regulatory apparatus, which has further extended the reach of government into the lives of all individuals. What's worse, U.S. Jews and their friends in Congress have caused far greater damage to individual freedom in Israel. To understand how American Jews have affected the political landscape in Israel and made the Great Israeli Tax Grab of 2000 possible, see The Director's Column
