Andrew Napolitano: Buying Fascism With Your Tax Dollars

Look what the government has done with your money! The federal government has lost another 72 million of your tax dollars.

Jonah Goldberg: Why We Need Not Envy China

Up to 40 million Chinese people still live in caves. That's more than the populations of Texas and Illinois, combined.

Shikha Dalmia: Don't Mind The Gap

What matters is income mobility, not income inequality. I hate to be the bearer of good news just as the Occupy Wall Street movement is gathering steam, but protesters can stop worrying about rising inequality and go home. New evidence suggests that the super-rich got hit by the recession much harder than the rest of the 99 percent. This doesn’t mean that they  ... MORE
