Money and education ideas to consider
So, the fireworks are over. The yard is littered with cardboard and plastic fragments. The flags are still up, the cookouts are winding down, and the phrase ‘land of the free‘ has been repeated enough times over the past few days to feel like something between a national anthem and a reflex. Don’t get me […]
The debate over whether individuals without children should contribute to the cost of education has been around for generations. Some argue that it is unfair to impose taxes on individuals who do not directly benefit from the system. Others argue that it is a civic duty that supports the common good. Unfortunately, the disagreement is […]
I saw a post recently on social media under the banner of a page calling itself a history resource. It showed a map of the United States with the caption: “Native American land loss in the USA from 1776 to 1930.” I had to laugh because the video used modern-day borders, including those of Mexico […]
The social media response to Elon Musk’s recent statement on Universal High Income (not Universal Basic Income) has been revealing. Not because the criticism is particularly sophisticated, but because of how alarmingly unsophisticated it is. Accusations of hypocrisy, comparisons to anything from welfare to communism, and declarations of incoherence have flooded the feed from people […]

Modern ideological movements have developed a predictable habit.

In fact, it’s usually a political tactic. Japan appears to be the latest target. Articles and Youtube videos […]
Have you seen what gold has been doing? Are the forecasts finally upon us? In 2012, the documentary End of the Road: How Money Became Worthless made a claim that was widely dismissed as alarmist at the time. The film argued that once money was severed from constraint, political incentives would overwhelm discipline, debt would […]
The property tax is more than a financial burden; it is a structural violation of liberty.
There is a growing tendency to compare the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), distributed through Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards, with ordinary credit cards. The argument usually arises during discussions about government spending or poverty assistance, with someone asserting, “What’s the difference? Both are plastic cards used to buy food.” It sounds simple, but the […]
Indoctrination starts before college. It starts in K–12, shaping minds long before. Jefferson warned that liberty depends on honest education.
