NASHVILLE, TN – Last month we drove MARV down some unpaved roads and through some of Vermont’s beautiful countryside to speak with John McClaughry at his picturesque log home. John is the founding President of the Ethan Allen Institute (EAI) and is very experience in political matters. In the interview he discusses the entitlement mentality of Vermont’s political class and shows his appreciation that lower taxed / lower regulated New Hampshire is next door. According to the EAI website:

The Ethan Allen Institute is Vermont’s independent, nonpartisan, free-market-oriented public policy think tank. The Institute offers “Ideas for Vermont’s Future” built upon a libertarian, decentralist, community-based philosophy. It is one of some 48 similar but independent state organizations associated with the State Policy Network.
