MORESheldon Richman: How To Help Fast-Food Workers
Raising the minimum wage will hurt, not help. Doubling the minimum wage may seem like a good way to help fast-food workers, but it would hurt them instead. So what should we do?

MOREWalter E Williams: Would They Be Proud?
Those who struggled for civil rights had higher hopes. One can't imagine the fear in the hearts of the parents of those nine black students who walked past shouting placard-carrying mobs as they entered Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Each day, they were greeted with angry shouts of "Two, four, six, eight, we don't want to ... MOREUsing Terrorism Task Force To Make Small-Time Drug Busts

At least, spare us the outrage. Alex Rodriguez’s career—and Hall of Fame hopes—died for somebody’s sins, but not his. No, the Yankee slugger is simply the latest fall guy for our society’s infantile belief in sports as an imaginary zone somehow separate and apart from the real world, a sort of grown-ups’ version of Chuck E. Cheese’s ... MORESteven Greenhut: Detroit’s Long Road To The Bottom
The Motor City’s path to economic ruin. Californians frustrated by the state’s long-term fiscal situation sometimes throw up their hands and declare that things must get worse before they get better.

And some what to further raise minimum wage. Friday's jobs report was disappointing, but it also contained a truly heartbreaking statistic. Black teen unemployment is a shocking 41.6%.
