In his book Over-the-Counter Natural Cures, Shane Ellison, M.S. informs readers, If high blood pressure was dangerous, then lowering it with hypertension drugs would increase lifespan. Yet, I couldn’t find a single clinical trial showing that hypertension medications increased lifespan among users of these drugs when compared with nonusers. In fact, many times, low blood […]
Why Do Millennials Seem to Love Socialism?

What I Learned About Capitalism from Dabbling in It
If I’m known at all to RichardCYoung.com readers, I’m known as the curmudgeonly foreign policy guy, I imagine.

And not just any miners, but “our” miners, as if, like “our vets,” the […]
Cato’s Dan Mitchell wants the Federal Government Out of Income Redistribution
Dan explains below why he wants to junk the welfare state. Learning from the tremendous success of welfare reform during the Clinton Administration, the entire Washington-based welfare state should be junked.
