Free-Range Chicken Myths
August 28, 2009 Free-range chickens are the way to go, right? Well, not exactly. You see, there are, on egg cartons, no laws or government standards regulating the use of the terms “free-range” or “free-walk”.

Air Pelosi

Government Spending is Devastating Capitalism
A quick look at my chart of federal spending as a percentage of GDP shows that the free market in the United States is ailing. The percent of our economic activity by government has risen above 24%. The rapid increase shows no signs of ebbing. What does this mean for capitalism? Rather than competing for […]
