by M. Welch, R. Bailey, J A. Singer & S. Reider. Few issues divide libertarians so emphatically as

White House and media ignorance on display. Administration misspeaks and reporters don't bother to investigate. A White House aide set off a stampede of liberal media criticism for Internet news pioneer Matt Drudge over Obamacare – but his critics don't seem to understand how small businesses pay taxes. The brouhaha started when ... MOREWalter E Williams: Bizarre Arguments And Behavior
Deceivers and control freaks. Some statements and arguments are so asinine that you'd have to be an academic or a leftist to take them seriously. Take the accusation that Republicans and conservatives are conducting a war on women. Does that mean they're waging war on their daughters, wives, mothers and other female members of their ... MORESteve Chapman: Why Obama Is Pandering Overtime
Vision of the anointed is just another job killer. If you take an economics course, you may learn about the different events that can cause an increase in workers' pay. The demand for the product a worker makes may rise, causing the demand for workers to go up. The supply of workers may decline, causing employers to bid up wages to keep ... MOREGoogle, DuckDuckGo And Regulation Of Privacy
by Tim Worstall. This piece about DuckDuckGo rather interested me, for it speaks to the
argument that is being had over the regulation of privacy in both the US
and the European Union. And while this isn’t entirely and wholly true
it is in essence: the US has, in my opinion, taken the right view of
that regulation. Leave it, largely, to the ... MOREFamilies Move To Secure Medical Marijuana For Kids
by Lisa Bernard-Kuhn. Moving to Colorado. The Bentons will move as soon as Addyson comes off the waiting list, which they hope will be October – leaving behind the home in Liberty Township, Ohio, that they built less than a year ago and the friends and family who have supported them. "It's so sad to know that Addyson won't be able to see ... MORE'Crazy Cave' Is Poster Child For Government Waste
by Daniel Bates. No incentives for cost-saving innovation. Six hundred workers are processing government pension papers in an underground bunker entirely by hand in a staggering example of state inefficiency that is costing taxpayers millions. Staff at what has been dubbed the ‘Crazy Cave’ take up to 61 days just to deal with ... MOREThe Boom In Smuggling To Avoid Cigarette Taxes
by Jonathan Berr. Another government-provoked black market. More than half of the cigarettes sold in New York State are smuggled
in from other places to avoid the Empire State's taxes on smokes, which
have soared nearly 200 percent since 2006, according to a report issued
by the conservative Tax Foundation. New
York is the highest net ... MOREHawaii Law Allows Cops To Have Sex With Prostitutes
by Mike Bertha. The police lobbied hard. There is apparently an exemption in Hawaiian sex trafficking laws that allows for undercover police officers to have sex with prostitutes while on the job, in an effort to help them more effectively catch the bad guys, obviously. A new law would have done away with the exemption, but that new ... MOREBarry Farber: My Fear Of GOP Overconfidence
This is miserable casting. You’ve got no business expecting me to do Clark Gable’s work. But nobody else is doing it, and it must be done. In an early scene in “Gone With the Wind,” before the Civil War started, a big party was rocking Tara, the plantation inhabited by Scarlett O’Hara. In the library, a gaggle of Southern cadets from a military academy ... MOREMarijuana Research Hampered By Government And Politics
by Ariana Eunjung Cha. Millions of ordinary Americans are now able to walk into a marijuana dispensary and purchase bags of pot on the spot for a variety of medical ailments.

MOREVIDEO: Government's War On Living Standards
Peter Schiff compares earnings and purchasing power from 1947.
Baylen Linnekin: Big Brother Is Watching You Eat
Your betters say it's for your own good. Just how far is the federal
government willing to go to push Americans to make subjectively
“healthy” food choices? Chillingly far, if the most recent meeting
of the federal government’s Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
(DGAC) is any indicator. The DGAC is
made up of fifteen academics, ... MORE
