Stealing from babies is easy and low. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates makes himself feel powerful while negligently ripping off babies. I am a capitalist. I defend entrepreneurs.

However, I think young people and their parents should know that Gates is a sham entrepreneur. Gates openly uses his wealth and influence to push policies that will make entrepreneurial ... MOREArthur Herman: Death Of Europe Is America's Opportunity
A vindication of our free market system. Elections Sunday in France and Greece prove once and for all that the European Union is headed off the cliff, and its voters don’t care. In the short term, that’s going to mean some heartburn in US markets and global financial centers. No one likes to watch a major portion of the world’s industrialized economies, commit ... MOREWynton Hall: Justice For Sale At Holder's DOJ
A look into the Chicago way.

Jay Ambrose: Regulation A Mess -- Action Needed Soon
The dictates of our betters. Always fearful there might be some human activity left unregulated, the federal government was recently getting ready to stop children from doing some farm chores, causing farmers to grumble. This is an election year. Farmers vote. And President Barack Obama's electoral caregivers responded to the grumbling by ... MOREThomas Sowell: The Moral Infrastructure
Neglect in the short term invites disaster in the long term. The "Occupy" movement, which the Obama administration and much of the media have embraced, has implications that reach far beyond the passing sensation it has created. The unwillingness of authorities to put a stop to their organized disruptions of other people's lives, their ... MOREProperty Rights And The Religion Of Control Freaks
by Jonathan DuHamel. Individual rights are inseparable from property rights. The United States of America is the most prosperous nation on the planet because the land contains abundant natural resources and the people have been free to use those resources to create wealth. Those rights have been increasingly diminished by the environmental movement and ... MOREWalter E Williams: Leftist Race-Baiters
Ever vigilant at fanning the flames of racism. MSNBC's Chris Matthews, in a recent debate with former Republican National Chairman Michael Steele, called the Republican Party the "grand wizard crowd." Grand wizard is the title given to the leader of the Ku Klux Klan. It is truly misinformed to call Republicans the party of the Klan. Throughout ... MOREJoseph DeAvila: Connecticut Nears Marijuana Legalization
Another state legislature backs individual rights. After years of stalled efforts, Connecticut is close to legalizing medical marijuana. The state Senate approved the bill early Saturday morning following nearly 10 hours of debate. The measure passed the House of Representatives in April, and Gov. Dannel Malloy, a Democrat, has said he would sign it. ... MORE
Andrea Stone: Government Surveillance Requests Increase
The FISA Court is a government rubber stamp mechanism. The federal government submitted 1,745 applications in 2011 to a secret intelligence court to investigate -- mostly through wiretapping -- suspected cases of terrorism and espionage, a 10.5 percent increase over the year before, according to a Justice Department report ... MOREPaul J Larkin Jr: How Well Do You Know The Law?
Overcriminalization in America. You’ve been invited to participate on a new game show called Do You Know the Law? Two wrong answers eliminate you. “Why not?” you say to yourself. “I know as much law as the next person. What’s the worst that could happen: embarrassment?” The first panelist correctly answers the question, “Can you steal your neighbor’s car?” ... MOREDeanne Waldman: Choose Your Poison!
Personal medicine or population medicine? Which will be for you? Personal medicine starts with you and your doctor discussing what is the best care for you. After considering long-term medical effects as well as financial costs, you and your provider decide what to do. Population medicine means that some panel, committee, or group determines what it ... MORESteven Greenhut: How Government Makes Life Worse
Another day means more waste, fraud or abuse. Occupy Wall Street protesters are reminiscent of writer R. Emmett Tyrrell’s criticism of radical feminists: They don’t know what they want, but they want it very badly. On May Day, the protesters tied up the streets of Oakland, San Francisco, and elsewhere. They are mad as hell and they are not ... MOREPhil Kerpen: Republicans Need To Stand For Free Market
And, that includes agriculture. I once saw a very conservative member of Congress, someone I respect and with whom I have worked on many issues, tell a room full of free-market activists that he considers himself 99 percent free market capitalist and 1 percent socialist – when it comes to agricultural subsidies. This is a pretty common mentality in ... MOREMichelle Malkin: Julia Embodies Obama's Ideal Citizen
Completely dependent on government. Quick, hide under the covers. The nation’s storyteller, Barack Obama, unveiled a frightening new fable on the Internet intended to scare women away from supporting fiscal conservatives in November. But as is increasingly common with Obama’s social-media propaganda initiatives, “The Life of Julia” immediately ... MOREDavid Grant: Rand Paul Wants To Abolish The TSA
Petition to establish a passenger bill of rights. Forget the Fed, for now – Sen. Rand Paul wants to shut down the TSA. The Kentucky Republican is drafting legislation to end the Transportation Safety Administration and to establish a passenger bill of rights, according to a spokesman from his office. When those bills hit, they'll likely be accompanied by a deluge of ... MOREPeter Morici: Discouraged Americans Quit Looking To Work
Despair is setting in. The economy added 115,000 jobs in April -- much less than expected and not enough to keep up with natural population growth. The unemployment rate fell to 8.1% because another 522,000 adults quit looking for work and are no longer counted. In the weakest recovery since the Great Depression more than four-fifths of the reduction in ... MORE
