Roasting Walter Williams – by Thomas Sowell In the military, each of us had a brush with a court martial -- Walter in the Army and I in the Marine Corps -- because we did not conform. It should not be surprising that we did not conform to the racial orthodoxy of the 1960s. …Another very enlightening book by Walter Williams is "The State Against Blacks." This goes into the many American government policies and practices which have had a major negative economic impact on blacks….These include minimum wage laws, occupational licensing laws, and regulation of railroads and trucking. None of these is explicitly racial in intent but their actual consequences have included restrictions of employment opportunities for blacks, as Walter demonstrates with hard facts and figures. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=3105

With a nickel here and there, KY taxes creep up - Why should boards advertise broadly the fact that they're about to raise taxes, Draud said.

Capitalism?  St. Francis invented that. …we owe to these scholarly and genial Franciscans the origins of the potent tradition which, thanks to its successive doctrinal elaboration by the later Scholastics, was woven into the great strand of the Scottish Enlightenment, and reaches us today in the Austrian school of economics. http://213.92.16.98/ESW_articolo/0,2393,41894,00.htm

How Chile was saved by Jose Pinera - From 1973 to 1989, a true revolution took place in Chile, involving a radical, comprehensive, and sustained move toward free markets. This Chilean revolution doubled Chile's historic rate of economic growth (to an average of 7 percent a year from 1984 to 1998), drastically reduced the proportion of people living in poverty, enormously advanced human liberty, and unleashed the forces that brought liberal democracy and the rule of law. …One of my best friends, Senator Jaime Guzman, was gunned down by leftist terrorists. We were willing to run such risks because we loved liberty above all, and because we thought it obscene to stand by and watch from an American campus or from Wall Street while our country was turned into a second Cuba. Today, we celebrate the Chilean revolution because, like the American Revolution, it has given birth—not without pain—to a new country and a free society. http://www.objectivistcenter.org/navigator/articles/nav+jpinera_how-chile-saved.asp
