by Luis San Vincente Portes. New Jersey's Democratic leaders are seeking to include on the 2013 ballot a
proposal to increase the minimum wage in the state from $7.25 to $8.25

living. The initiative is founded on states’ ability to set a minimum
wage apart from the federal under the ... MOREThe Unintended Consequences Of Minimum Wage

New ways to monitor the human livestock. The Thieves and Sexual Assailants are playing musical chairs with their porno-scanners. They’re shuffling carcinogenic backscatter X-ray machines out of larger airports, such as New York’s LaGuardia and JFK International, into smaller ones — but that doesn’t mean they’ve renounced their ... MOREWalter E Williams: What You Can't Say
Don't attempt to explain slavery to children. Jon Hubbard, a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, has a book, titled "Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative." Among its statements for which Hubbard has been criticized and disavowed by the Republican Party is, "The institution of slavery that the ... MOREThomas Sowell: Libya And Lies
No profile in courage here. It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was
"offended" by the suggestion that his administration would try to
deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man
not deceived the public about? Remember his pledge to cut the
deficit in half in his first term in office? This was followed by the ... MORERon Paul: The Internet Revolution Is A Liberty Revolution
LibertyPen is just one of the cogs. Until the late 1990s, individuals interested in Austrian economics, U.S. constitutional history, and libertarian philosophy had few sources of information.

A poll released today by Strategies 360 finds a 54-to-38 lead for I-502, with about 7 percent ... MOREGovernment Displays Contempt For The Will Of The People

recreational pot, amid criticism of the Obama administration for its
relative silence on legalization drives in three states. Voters in Colorado, Washington state and ... MORESteven Milloy: The EPA's Illegal Human Experiments
Agency failed to warn tests potentially lethal. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been sued in federal court for allegedly conducting illegal experiments on human beings. The case tests whether a government agency can violate the law and the most sacrosanct ethics of scientific research — and get away scot-free. ... MOREPsst, Taxes Will Go Up For 163 Million Workers in 2013
President Barack Obama isn't talking about it and neither is Mitt Romney. But come January, 163 million workers can expect to feel the pinch of a big tax increase regardless of who wins the election. A temporary reduction in Social Security payroll taxes is due to expire at the end of the year and hardly anyone in Washington is pushing ... MOREJohn W. Whitehead: Smile, The Government Is Watching
Next generation identification. “You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement was scrutinized.”—George Orwell, 1984.
