	Dick Armey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard Keith "Dick" Armey (born July 7, 1940 in Cando, North Dakota) is a former U.S. Representative from Texas' 26th Congressional District (1985–2003) and House Majority Leader (1995–2003).
		Armey's son, Scott, ran for his father's seat in the 2002 election, but lost in the Republican Party runoff to Michael C. Burgess, who would go on to hold the strongly Republican 26th District for the GOP in November.
		Armey argues that non-existence of government causes a state of anarchy and low levels of wealth creation, because of the absence of the rule of law and protection of property rights.

	ESR \| December 17, 2001 \| Reflections on Dick Armey
		Armey has similarly called for sunset provisions on all government programs except for earned entitlements, a "regulatory budget" that would summarize the economic cost of federal regulations and otherwise returning resources from Washington to their rightful owners, families and taxpayers throughout the United States.
		Armey also lampooned liberal sacred cows, including the Clintons, telling Democrats that "your president doesn't matter very much to us" when they used loyalty to the president as a reason for passing bad legislation and standing up to Hillary Clinton during the national health care debacle.
		But Armey was second only to Gingrich in his role in crafting the Contract With America that helped Republicans win control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years and a political legacy that included the first major federal tax cuts since 1981 and the farthest-reaching welfare reform legislation ever.

	Dick Armey's Free Lunch
		Armey never mentions the impact of his tax cuts on revenues.
		In the table below, I've compared Armey's tax cut at four different income levels for a family of three, where $40,000 is roughly their median income.
		Armey writes that his bill will be opposed by ''the Beltway's leftist ideologues.'' But it was the business community, non-manufacturers, that lobbied hardest to kill Reagan's (and Kennedy's) depreciation program.

	Dick Armey's Flat Tax (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Though Dick Armey's flat tax still results in a tax shift toward lower incomes, the increased Cost of Living problem associated with this tax shift (discussed in "Tax Reform Alternatives") would be ameliorated by the effect of Dick Armey's standard tax-free allowances on the lower incomes.
		If Dick Armey wants to simplify the individual tax return, that's a creditable thing to do, but it could have been done without the elimination of progressive tax rates, i.e., without the flat tax.
		On the other hand, Dick Armey's progressive flat tax may contain the kind of concession that needs to be made for political feasibility.

		It was obvious that Armey was not at UTD to listen to students -- students were invited to act as a complacent audience in a staged marketing event.
