Once small government advocates concede that war is a euphemism for theft funded mass murder, taxation is theft, and economic regulation turns productive people into "criminals", they will frequently say, "We at least need a government to protect us from other governments!". Set aside the fact that death by government from wars, starvation blockades, and genocides yield a result no private organization could ever come close to, since no one imagines private groups have an arbitrary right to initiate violence against peaceful people. This mentality ignores the economic reality that one group...
The Gender Death Gap
A central claim of modern day Social Justice advocates is that the existence of disparities, is proof of discrimination. By this metric, American police and the American workplace system are systemically, systematically, and fundamentally sexist (and ageist!). An overwhelming majority of people shot and killed by police are male - over 95 percent. More than half of the victims are between 20 and 40 years old. - Washington Post, Police Shootings Database The real problem with police is two-fold. First, they are coercively funded via taxation, meaning they receive money from their involuntary...

CFR President Richard Haass Admits the UniParty is Real
It used to be—think about it, until recently it didn’t really matter all that much who won an election at the presidential level. Don’t get me wrong, obviously there were differences between the parties. But if I can use a sports metaphor, the differences between Republicans and Democrats, per se, were within the forty-yard lines. Yeah, there’d be differences but actually what Democrats and Republicans had in common was far greater than what they did not. - Richard Haass, President of the Council on Foreign Relations (June 1st, 2023) Besides the "until recently" part, I fully agree with Mr....

Getting Money Out of Politics: Abolish the IRS
[I]f you don't get money out of politics, then yes in the long term it's hopeless. But we must, we must get money out of politics. - Cenk Uygur, creator of The Young Turks Progressive Cenk Uygur said these words without realizing the fact that the primary source of money in politics comes from the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service, two institutions he proudly supports. What he is most likely talking about, are voluntary political donations. In other words, people choosing to give their money to candidates is wrong, but those very same politicians should have the right to...
Roland Fryer’s Shocking Conclusion
https://youtu.be/2nLWCLsmpJ4 On the most extreme use of force – officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account. We argue that the patterns in the data are consistent with a model in which police officers are utility maximizers, a fraction of which have a preference for discrimination, who incur relatively high expected costs of officer-involved shootings. - Roland G. Fryer J. An Empirical Analysis of Racial Differences in Police Use of Force. Journal of Political Economy. Forthcoming. Watch on...

The “Rich Get Richer” Myth
Some 94 percent of Americans who reach “top 1 percent” income status will enjoy it for only a single year. Approximately 99 percent will lose their “top 1 percent” status within a decade. Now consider the top 400 U.S. income-earners—a far more exclusive club than the top 1 percent. Between 1992 and 2013, 72 percent of the top 400 retained that title for no more than a year. Over 97 percent retained it for no more than a decade. - Chelsea Follett, High Turnover Among America’s Rich
