Critics warned these changes would cruelly condemn vulnerable families to extreme hardship. But new evidence shows these reforms lifted millions of families out of poverty.

That means big ticket items, even crucial ones like K-12 education, must feel the pinch. No one wants the quality of education in Wyoming to drop, but the spending on it must decrease. Why? The Consensus Revenue Estimating Group (CREG) projected in January that total... \[ Continue reading\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/education/wyoming-must-reduce-education-spending) ## \[Why Wyoming Needs a Taxpayer Protection Pledge\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/government-programs/why-wyoming-needs-a-taxpayer-protection-pledge) Monday, 11 July 2016 \[Economic\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/economic) \[Government Programs\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/government-programs) \[Keep Wyoming Strong\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/keep-wyoming-strong) We often point to the third-party payer problem as the cause of the explosion in health care costs. Insurers pay doctors who provide services to patients. This separation of payer and patient means the patient has little incentive to question the cost or even the quality of service. Now imagine what would happen if a big part of a state's spending ... \[ Continue reading\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/government-programs/why-wyoming-needs-a-taxpayer-protection-pledge) ## \[Revenue Committee Supports Internet Sales Tax Grab\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/economic/revenue-committee-supports-internet-sales-tax-grab) Tuesday, 17 May 2016 \[Economic\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/economic) \[Government Programs\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/government-programs) \[Keep Wyoming Strong\](https://mail.wyliberty.org/blog/keep-wyoming-strong) In Wyoming, some politicians are looking high and low for ways to take your money, especially if they can make it look like someone else is slipping his hand into your pocket. One way that popped up during a recent Revenue Committee meeting is a tax on Internet retail sales. Proponents justify this tax grab in two ways.
