by Bryan Hyde. Most of us remember our first minimum wage job with a sense of fondness. Mine was delivering prescriptions for Magic Valley Drug for a whopping $3.35 an hour.

At the time I was too young to vote, so the thought of lobbying politicians ... MOREHow Minimum Wage Laws Do More Harm Than Good

MOREStar Parker: Voter Rights Are Not Free
Just like freedom itself. Engraved large on one of the walls of the Korean War Veterans Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, DC are the words “Freedom is not free.” It is sad that so many are unable or unwilling to appreciate the truth of this simple phrase or are ready to heed those who have or seek power who distort it.
