 Merry
Christmas
Yorktown University is pleased to celebrate this
holiday season with a rousing Merry Christmas and a
commentary on the first Christmas and early Christianity
from the perspective of Supply-side economics.
Yorktown University Director, James Lucier, is Managing
Director of Capital Alpha Partners, LLC, a Washington,
D.C.-based research firm that provides strategic
guidance for institutional money managers. He writes
of the tax policies of Caesar Augustus that required
Mary and Joseph to travel to Joseph’s home town so that
he might be taxed.
