Economics
Plan B (from Outer Space)
I’ve been working as a House Arrest ankle bracelet installer for over 3 months now. Apart from the fact that almost every one of the individuals I hook up has been convicted of 1 or more DUI’s, I actually enjoy it. It’s not enough money to live on indefinitely, but it keeps the electricity on […]

from Larry Correia: As soon as they announced Ryan, the media had a come apart. I heard the words “extreme” and “radical” so many times that I thought I was watching a Mountain Dew commercial.

Unlike all the good progressives out there, I don’t give a rat’s ass about income inequality. So the gap between our richest and poorest citizens is getting wider. Your point? I’ve come to believe that the fuss over income inequality is stirred up by childish envy and politicians. There’s always Johnny Entitled out there who […]

Today’s QOTD comes from TokenLibertarianGirl via Samizdata. (The quote is from the end of the video.) It’s compassionate when you reach into your own pocket to help the needy. It’s theft when you reach into somebody else’s pocket no matter how well intentioned the cause may be.
