Why it hurts the poor more than helps. President Obama made headlines in January when he called for raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $9 and tying future increases to inflation. Politically, calling for a higher minimum wage is a winner. This week, New York’s state assembly voted to implement Obama’s plan locally. On the national level, ...

MORENicole Russell: Rand's Band Of Brothers
The liberty diehards. Whatever his ideological leanings, surely Shakespeare would have raised an eyebrow at the political scene Wednesday, if only for the content it would have stirred in his creative mind. Though Rand Paul spearheaded an epic 13-hour filibuster, he didn’t fill that time alone. Fourteen other Senators total — including one ... MORERick Moran: Gabby Gifford's Husband Buys An AR-15
The nauseating hypocrisy of this guy is incredible. When caught red-handed by Breitbart, who tracked down a tip that Mark Kelly, former Rep. Gifford's husband purchased an "assault weapon," here's what the gun control advocate put on his Facebook page: I just had a background check a few days ago when I went to my local gun ... MORERand Paul: Rising In Defense Of The Constitution
Insisting on a meaningful Bill of Rights. On Wednesday, I rose to begin a filibuster on the nomination of John O. Brennan to be director of the CIA. I stood up with the intent of speaking until I was no longer able to speak. I vowed to speak as long as it took, until an alarm was sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that our rights to ... MOREBrian Phillips: The Fallacy Of The 'Living Wage'
It strips some of the ability to make a living. If the advocates of the “living wage” are truly convinced that arbitrary government dictates have no detrimental consequences
on jobs, why don’t they advocate a “prosperity wage”? Instead of
legislating a wage that allows families to “get by,” why don’t they
legislate a wage that allows families to prosper? In other ... MORERichard E. Ralston: The Hydra Of Government Medicine
Only the right principles can save us. We value physicians for their ability to optimize the length and quality of our lives. They value treating and preventing illness, relieving pain and curing disease. Yet the relationship between doctors and patients is increasingly under attack by a relentless government. A hydra-headed monster of multiple ... MOREDomestic Drones To Hunt Gun Carriers In America For DHS
by Cheryl K. Chumley. The Department of Homeland Security has an unmanned drone fleet with technology that can root out civilians who are carrying guns, government documents show. “I am very concerned that this technology will be used against law-abiding American firearms owners,” said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment ...

Erik Rush: The Rise Of America's Gestapo
The enemies of the Constitution. On March 4, despite hundreds of Coloradans flooding the State Capitol in Denver and honking horns on the streets that encircle the building all day long, and the presence of 25 county sheriffs opposed to seven Democratic gun-control proposals, the measures all passed the Colorado House along party-line votes. ... MOREBrian Domitrovic: The Sequester That Saved The Economy
Remember stimulus spending? That’s the stuff that the government is supposed to come up with when the economy goes into recession. The idea is that since government expenditures are one part of overall economic output, when private activity wanes, aggregate output, or “GDP” can be maintained. It’s intriguing as a theory, perhaps, but in ... MOREIf You're Reading This, You're Surviving The Sequester Cuts
by John Stossel. That may surprise you, since President Obama likened the sequester to taking a "meat cleaver" to government, causing FBI agents to be furloughed, prosecutors to let criminals escape and medical research to grind to a halt! The media hyped it, too. The NBC Nightly News said, "The sequester could cripple air travel, force ... MORERobert Higgs: Don't Rely On A Quack Doctor
Some prescriptions can have adverse actions. A man goes to his doctor for a routine checkup. The doctor performs a perfunctory examination and informs him that unless he receives an experimental treatment the doctor has devised, he will soon become disabled. “What’s it cost, Doc?” the man asks. “Well, unfortunately it’s not cheap, ...
