How to Avoid Wall Street’s Unshakable Attachment to Earnings

Drugs, Child Trafficking, Disease at the Border: Pelosi “No Emergency”
Despite rampant drug smuggling, child trafficking, and the unchecked migration of those with diseases that had previously been stamped out in the United States, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sees no reason for alarm on America’s southern border.

They wield their massive power to lobby for higher wages. Paying those wages demands higher taxation, which can cripple private industry in the states. State governments that have been […]
