The Friedman-Reich Project

Dear Friend,

Please sign the Friedman-Reich Petition and please distribute this message among your friends.

The Friedman-Reich Project is a grass roots effort to end the double taxation of business and restore competitiveness, savings and investment to our economy. It is named after Conservative economist, Milton Friedman who exposed the folly of double taxation in his two books Capitalism and Freedom and Free to Choose, and after Liberal economist Robert Reich who, 45 years later in his book Supercapitalism, endorsed and expanded on Friedman's idea to end it.

By ending double taxation, we believe we will create an environment of capital formation, and with it business growth without the need for stimulus, bailout, subsidy, tax credit, tax deduction, tax loophole, or other gimmicks. We believe this is the way we can make our economy strong—permanently strong—and competitive, without deficits, Federal borrowing, and increased taxation.

The time is now: we have an economy that needs revitalization, a new President who has called for bi-partisan ideas, and a breakthrough concept with support from both sides of the political spectrum. This is an idea started by a conservative and advanced by liberals. And Mr. Reich is an advisor to President-elect Obama. We believe we have therefore, at this moment, the perfect storm to advance a proposal that would redress systemic disadvantages our tax system imposes on businesses and capital markets, precisely at the time when both need help.

Please see the article below and our FAQs for additional information.

And please sign the Friedman-Reich Petition.

Thank you!
