Why Privatizing Marriage is a Terrible Idea
“Why don’t we just get pletely out of the marriage business?” For decades, if someone asked that question it would be a safe assumption it ing from a libertarian. Shifting marriage to private contracts that didn’t require the government’s imprimatur has long been an issue championed by those who lean libertarian. But the rise of same-sex marriage—and it’s threats to religious liberty—have caused many others, especially Christian conservatives, to ask if that’s not the best solution to the problems that...
House Rejects Mandatory GMO Labeling
Yesterday the the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 1599, known as the “Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015.” The bill prevents states from requiring mandatory labeling for any products containing genetically modified food. Currently, Connecticut, Maine, and Vermont all have such laws. Whether or not this might be a blow to states’ rights, it’s certainly a win mon sense. Fewer people are being fooled by the propaganda and downright bad science surrounding genetically modified food. The...
Income Inequality and Legal Plunder
Fueled, in part, by the Pope’s passionate appeals, the campaign to reduce e inequality is growing rapidly around the globe. The e equality movement argues that there is a growing gap between the es of top earners and everyone else. This claim is supported by a recent study conducted by the International Monetary Fund. In the United States, the e growth rate for the highest e earners has significantly surpassed the national average over the past 30 years. Many politicians,...
‘Markets Are Places Where Value Is Created’
At a point in time where the election cycle invites everyone and their brother to “throw their hat in the ring,” Americans constantly jabber about which candidates might have the biggest national impact. What is overlooked is that local leaders are the ones who make the greatest impact in our daily lives. Cheryl Dorsey insists that munities must pay attention to their own leaders in order to thrive: It’s imperative that the munity and others support these entrepreneurs in munities...
Minimum Wage OR Minimum Unemployment?
Various forms of government intervention negatively affects economic vitality in many ways, however few policies impact the market as directly as wage laws. The $15 minimum wage law in Seattle dramatically influences determinants of business owners’ hiring practices. In many cases, wages are the highest economic cost in the production process, making hiring new employees a risky endeavor. Regardless of size, businesses of all scales must turn profits to stay operational and risk potential losses each time they hire new...
Fresh Food And Fresh Starts
In today’s American, nearly a quarter million women are incarcerated, primarily for drug-related or non-violent crimes. That’s roughly an 800 percent increase in the past 30 years. And female felons don’t have any easier a time finding work than their male counterparts. Typically, about half of those released from prison have no stable home, no transportation … and few legal job skills. Many of these people struggle with addiction and/or mental health issues as well. One woman, a social worker-turned-entrepreneur...
10 Unsolicited Pieces of British Advice To America
British journalist Tim Montgomerie notes that Barack Obama gave some unsolicited advice to the U.K. recently (suggesting that they spend more on defense.) Montgomerie thought it only fair to return the favor. 1. Montgomerie says America should not invade other countries unless we plan to follow through. George W Bush did at least stick with Iraq and his so-called “surge policy” delivered a reasonably stable nation by 2008. Obama than walked away and we know what happened soon afterwards: ISIS...
Helping Human Trafficking Victims Find A Way To Home And Healing
One of the challenges that survivors of human trafficking face is that they often are unable to prove their identity. Traffickers take away driver’s licenses, visas, passports, even student I.D.s in order to control their victims. In Australia, the Immigration Department is working to help trafficking victims by developing a special visa for trafficking victims (male and female) and their families who wish to remain in Australia. The old visa system, critics said, stigmatized victims. Victims will now be able...
The Moral Crisis of Cronyism and Corporate Welfare
U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, in an article for , discussed the recent charter expiration of the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) and how that is a good first-step toward reducing the corporate welfare and crony capitalism that has infected American politics and economics: If a man swipes your wallet, he’s a thief. We don’t ask whether the pickpocket ultimately spent the cash on a worthy cause. Yet, supporters of corporate welfare would have you believe that as long as panies receiving welfare...
Resisting a ‘Social Engineering’ Approach to Development
A conference held in Washington earlier this month sought to forge relationships between leaders of secular and faith-based groups working to alleviate poverty. Representatives from the World Bank Group, the German/British/US government development agencies, the GHR Foundation, World Vision, Catholic Relief Services, Islamic Relief USA, American Jewish World Service, McKinsey & Company, and more gathered for the occasion. The Lancet, a leading medical journal, published an issue on the role of religion and faith-based development organizations in global health and...
