Rick Kelo - A Scholar of Taxation theory and Classical Liberal Thinker

 The internet has become one of the most important mouthpieces in our history that has given the public the opportunity to express their thoughts. It is often suggested that the internet is the most democratizing force of our lifetimes, if not ever, and has done more than the creation of of liberal political systems for opening up the world to wider debate. Millions of people everyday contribute content to the online world, allowing them to express their ideas to a wide range of people and try and make a difference in the world. Rick Kelo is one such man who has build a sterling reputation as being an important voice in criticizing and analyzing governmental economic policy. He takes time after his daily work as the head of tax recruitment for a reputable tax advisory service to engage with public debate on governmental issues online.
 

Based on his day to day work it is no surprise to hear that Rick Kelo is most interested in better understanding financial and economical theory. With ideas stemming from Ceteris Paribus- Economics from the Austrian and Monetarist movements, Rick Kelo's blogs and articles help articulate complicated yet fascinating economic theories of the past and and better understand them in a modern light. Rick Kelo follows in the footsteps of classical liberal thinkers who have inspired him such as Benjamin Franklin or Ludwig von Mises, and uses their ideas to critique modern government practices. Tax is an area of particular interest to Rick Kelo, and like his heroes before him is wary of governments who place to high a value on the importance of taxing people.
 

From the lens of a classical liberal thinker, taking high income and national tax from citizens takes money from the hands of those who worked hard to earn it, and puts it in danger of reckless government spending, which can be hugely damaging for an economy. Policies such as high taxation point dangerously in the direction of socialism and communism for Rick Kelo, which he sees as being a destructive political system, especially for the infringement of citizens' liberties.
