John Stossel: War On The Little Guy
Bureaucratic regulators and their penalty flags. Marty the Magician performed magic tricks for kids, including the traditional rabbit-out-of-a-hat. Then one day: "I was signing autographs and taking pictures with children and their parents," he told me. "Suddenly, a badge was thrown into the mix, and an inspector said, 'Let me see your ... MOREAP: U.S. Adults Are Dumber Than The Average Human
Obama's reelection finally explained. It’s long been known that America’s school kids haven’t measured well compared with international peers. Now, there’s a new twist: Adults don’t either. In math, reading and problem-solving using technology – all skills
considered critical for global competitiveness and economic strength –
American adults scored ... MORESheldon Richman: How To Help Fast-Food Workers
Raising the minimum wage will hurt, not help. Doubling the minimum wage may seem like a good way to help fast-food workers, but it would hurt them instead. So what should we do? We must sweep away the government-created barriers to income earning, barriers that protect established businesses from competition and rob the most ... MORE
Jaana Woiceshyn: The Value Of Free-Market Competition
It is wrong to interfere with voluntary exchange. In Canada, like most everywhere in the world, the markets are not free.

Steve Tobak: The Real Impact Of Political Correctness
People are defined by their deeds, their actions. Not their words. But the way we communicate can be both reflective of our behavior and an influence on it going forward. What we call political correctness, for example, reflects societal behavior, how our culture has changed. It also influences societal behavior. In that sense, it reinforces the ... MORERich Tucker: Electric Cars And Crony Federalism
Competition is good— but only when it encourages a “race to the top.” That’s true in business and among the states as well. Competition can encourage policy innovation. For example, Pennsylvania carefully (but reasonably) regulates hydraulic fracturing, and it is reaping the benefits as companies create jobs by safely extracting oil and natural gas. ... MOREJohn Stossel: A Post-Post Office World
A system of cumbersome inefficiency. Even parts of government that look like a business never get run with
the efficiency of a business. Just look at the post office. They buy commercials and tout their services the way private businesses do. They offer a service that customers want. But a real business can't get away with losing ... MORE
