Rick Kelo – The Return of Classical Liberalism

Despite the fact that the government is put in place to serve and protect the people, many of their institutional decisions and actions have drastically detrimental effects on large portions of the population. There is no simply answer as to why, despite their calling, the government makes these decisions, and often they are the consequences of a different, seemingly beneficial, piece of legislation. Many economists have remained vocal advocates for many of the financial decisions that the government has made in recent years. For Richard Arthur Kelo, tax recruiter atTaxScout Inc. and an expert on finance and the economy, these decisions are part of a larger and more systemic mentality that the government has and which he feels is ultimately detrimental to the people.

With an MBA in Finance from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Richard Kelo knows what he is talking about. He has worked in finance for more than a decade and is one of the most respected financial recruiters in the country. He believes in classical liberalism, the political ideology that values the freedom of individuals, including the freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and markets, as well as limited government. Classical liberalists such as Benjamin Franklin have warned the nation against the dangers of large governments and the effects of their over reaching policies on the nation. Rather, classical liberalists believe that the government should place their faith in individual liberties, rather than strangle the country with unnecessary taxation and fiscal policies.

He has created a solid online presence for himself as a respect economist and blogger, publishing articles on various topics and on a variety of blogging platforms and websites, including his own personal website. His articles speak to his philosophies on a more liberal economy and offer poignant insight into topics such as leadership, taxation, the economic collapse of the early 2000s, and the government’s slow creep toward socialist policies.

According to Richard Arthur Kelo,government policies that are suffocating the economy (Presentation on Issuu) are responsible for much of the economic hardship endured by the working middle class in America today.
