If last month?s snow or the flakes in this week?s forecast have you thinking about doing more of your work at home, you might be interested in John Hood?s latest contribution to the print edition of National Review.
In a symposium focusing on a dozen conservative ideas that would help the middle class, Hood writes a piece titled ?Liberate Homeworkers.? He advocates changes that would benefit the 30 million Americans who own home-based businesses or work at least part of the week at home:
Despite endless political blather, policy has failed to accommodate the expanding ranks of home-based entrepreneurs, flex-timers, and freelancers. Governments at all levels tax them punitively, obstruct their opportunities, and make their lives unnecessarily complicated.
You?ll have to pick up the magazine to read Hood?s Homworker Liberation Agenda. In the meantime, you can check out some of his other recommendations for government here, here, and here.
