More unemployment avoided. The House on Friday rejected a Democratic push to raise the federal
minimum wage to $10.10, shooting down one of President Obama’s
priorities from his State of the Union speech. The 233-184 defeat also exposed divisions within the Democratic Party. Where Mr. Obama called for a hike from the current $7.25 ... MOREHouse Defeats Minimum Wage Increase

We haven't yet rid ourselves of the Puritans! The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can't be created and can't be destroyed — it can only be changed from one form into another. The same holds true of the puritanical impulse. Puritanism in the historical sense is as dead as the Salem witches. The religious group that settled in New ... MOREMatt Ridley On How Fossil Fuels Are Greening The Planet
An inconvenient truth the media ignores. Matt Ridley,
author of The Red Queen, Genome, The Rational
Optimist and other books, dropped by Reason's studio in Los
Angeles last month to talk about a curious global trend that is
just starting to receive attention. Over the past three decades,
our planet has gotten greener! Even stranger, the ... MOREOne Of The World's Most Impoverishing Commands
by Yaron Brook and Don Watkins. “Give back.” That’s the message sent to successful businessmen. You built a company? You made a lot of money? Fine. Now it’s time for you to use the money you’ve made to do some real good in the world. Apparently, creating our modern standard of living and our modern lifespan doesn’t count. ... MORER. Emmett Tyrell Jr.: Rand Paul Comes Of Age
GOP should recognize this force to be reckoned with. When Sen. Rand Paul took to the floor of the United States Senate

country. It is a difference in our perception of the man who is leading
the ... MOREVeronique de Rugy: Farm Subsidies Must Die
A program to take from the poor and give to the rich. On January 2, President Barack Obama signed a bill designed to avert the fiscal cliff.

MOREAndrew Napolitano: What If Nanny Is A Thug?
A hypothetical reality. What if a dictator in America used the force of law to tell you what to eat? What if the same dictator told you what to drink? What if the dictator told you the sizes of the containers in which you could purchase a lawful beverage? What if the dictator just made up the rules according to his own personal taste? What if the product ... MOREIf There Is No Inflation, Why Are Prices Up So Much?
by Michael Sivy. Last week, I ran out of ink for my printer and ordered some more online. My computer automatically pulled up the previous order, and I was shocked to see that the price of the ink cartridges I was buying had gone up 25%. To my mind, ink always seems overpriced. Manufacturers sell printers cheaply because they know that they ... MOREBarry Farber: Is This America, Or The Losers' Lounge?
.jpg)
A much needed pep talk. Rush Limbaugh says he’s ashamed to be an American. Glenn Beck says it’s time to surrender. Neal Boortz entitles his book summing up 42 years of talk-radio stardom “Maybe I Should Just Shut Up And Go Away.” One of our most effective columnists, Paul Hollrah, who served twice on the Electoral College and beat the Democratic ...
