As ludicrous as this ban is, I still don't know why so-called freedom-advocating libertarians like Hightop have issues when local governments do...
Just my opinion, but part of the problem with a consumption tax is that a lot of the analysis performed to demonstrate its viability has an...
I'd appreciate it if you could give a macro-level explanation of why you think getting in the black is important at this juncture. The...
Texx really isn't so bad. I personally find the "brah" schtick pretty funny, and he's usually willing to engage in some discussion.
Relative to what? Other currencies? The USD index is at the same value today that it was at the beginning of 2009. Commodities prices have...
Sure, any rise in price level in excess of a corresponding rise in wages is harmful to the economy. My turn. What do you suppose is causing the...

Heaven forbid a school runs its insurance just like any other insurance company and charging higher premiums for riskier clients. They should...

Because IMHO it's an easy solution to what boils down to an argument over semantics. - Even if civil unions had identical state benefits as...
This is probably one area where I'm actually in complete agreement with Hightop. Why the heck is the state defining marriage anyway?...
