PayPal’s animus toward North Carolina’s bathroom bill is interesting considering that PayPal has no trouble doing business with more than 25 countries where homosexual behavior is illegal including five where the penalty is death.

This video from Heritage shows the human (and economic) cost of government-mandated minimum wage increase laws. The government doesn’t just wave a wand and new, free money appears out of the sky to give to people. Somebody has to pay for that. It gets paid for by the business owners who put their own property on the line to create and run that business (and usually work harder than any line worker to keep that business going), and it gets paid for by the consumer.

The national nightmare that is the Obama administration will soon be over, and the people who made it a nightmare still have pens and phones.

Government’s unwillingness to do with less is making it considerably harder for Americans to even work. Seriously, why should American corporations pay a 39 percent rate, among the world’s highest, to headquarter here when they can “invert” to Ireland and pay 12.5 percent, less than one third the domestic rate? If the corporation can keep most of their American workforce and keep 26.5 percent more of their money as an alternative by cutting the corporate tax rate, wouldn’t that a good […]

In our modern age where government has vastly exceeded its constitutional and legitimate boundaries, and corruption runs amok in both parties, a lot of capitalism has been replaced by “crony capitalism.”

As it will soon be known, in the bad old days of President Obama’s second term, he used the Department of Justice (DOJ) to attack his most hated of political enemies: gun dealers.
