High risk neighborhoods are taxing themselves. A few years ago, BET had a commentary titled "Where Are the Grocery Stores in Black Neighborhoods?"

Walter E Williams: Unappreciated Tax On The Poor
High risk neighborhoods are taxing themselves. A few years ago, BET had a commentary titled "Where Are the Grocery Stores in Black Neighborhoods?" One wonders whether anyone thinks that the absence of supermarkets in predominantly black neighborhoods means that white merchants do not like dollars coming out of black hands. ... MOREThe Effects Of The Minimum Wage Rise In San Francisco
by Tim Worstall. As we keep trying to point out to people there really isn’t anything even remotely resembling a free lunch when it comes to the discussion of wages and labor. Meaning that just because well meaning liberals wave their magic wand and decree that wages will rise there will indeed be countervailing effects. And in San Francisco, where ... MORELarry Kudlow: Lower Oil Prices Are a Free-Market Victory
And a big tax cut. Seldom has so much good news been portrayed so
negatively. Oil prices continue to fall in the U.S. and around the
world, but near everyone in the media is grumpy about it. The headlines
today are among the silliest I’ve seen: Energy-company stocks are
declining, oil deflation is an economic threat, the Fed might raise
rates much ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: End State Monopolies On Liquor Sales

Greg Rowe is with the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association, which helped write the measure that passed the ... MOREWalter E Williams: The Pope And Capitalism
Economic theories that are far from divine. Pope Francis, in his apostolic exhortation, levied charges against free market capitalism, denying that "economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world" and concluding that "this opinion ... has never been ... MOREAndrew Stiles: ObamaCare And Its Cronies
The best government money can buy. Despite the myriad problems with Obamacare’s rollout, health-insurance companies are not tempering their support for the controversial law. The industry is even gearing up for an expensive “PR blitz” to enroll people in the exchanges, which should come as no surprise. In the words of former ... MORETenn Hearings Demonstrate Absurdities Of Asset Forfeiture
by Radley Balko. Here in Nashville, the state legislature held hearings this week on "policing for profit," the catchy name the libertarian public interest law firm the Institute for Justice has given to the practice of civil asset forfeiture. The hearings were inspired by some terrific reporting
done by local television journalist Phil Williams over ... MORE
