The ‘Fight For 15’ Is Another Tool For Big Businesses To Kill Competition
Supporters of the “fight for 15” and other campaigns to raise the minimum wage go to great lengths – including commissioning “research” designed to contradict studies that find their effects injurious – to insist that such a hike will have little or no adverse effects on employment for low-skill workers. However, such claims fly in the face of the economic truism that “there are substitutes for everything.” Additionally, the supplementary policies they also support would impose still greater government coercion, showing that they know how misleading their claims are. Unions and others say that their support for higher minimum wages is not about themselves, but about benefiting others. And yet, they continually advance their own interests at the expense of those they care so much for. You can be sure that this is about them.

Trump Blocks His First Chinese Acquisition of an American Company
If this incident demonstrates anything, it’s that the CFIUS process works and remains free of political influence. Trump nixed the Lattice-Canyon Ridge deal because it threatened to compromise U.S. national security through the transfer of intellectual property. It’s likely the CFIUS and Trump will prohibit even more Chinese acquisitions these next couple of years.
Today’s Intellectually-Challenged College Protestors
Last night, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (with the assistance of the student Libertarian and Republican clubs) staged a debate at the University of Pittsburgh on immigration. The question: “Are Trump’s Immigration Policies Harming America? We were able to do something that is unfortunately becoming rare on college campuses: engage in a substantive, professional, and civil debate on a contentious issue. Alex thinks most of Trump’s policies are wrong, which is the side the protestors were apparently taking, yet they were interrupting the guy arguing for their side. If the childish behavior of the protestors was indicative of the type of intellectual rigor being taught in our classrooms today this country is in trouble.
Government Scorekeepers Are Wrong. Corporate Tax Reform Would Mostly Help Workers, Not the Rich.
The burden of the corporate income tax falls almost entirely on workers in the form of lower wages. A 20-point reduction of the corporate income tax—from 35 percent to 15 percent—could boost the relative market incomes of the poorest Americans by 2.4 percent. With a more favorable tax environment, tax reform will renew America’s place as a top global destination to do business and hire workers.
President Awakens Assembly With Straight Talk
Big and bold: That’s how I’d characterize President Trump’s speech this week at the opening of the annual meeting of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. The white-hot concern, of course, is North Korea’s development of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons and the threat it poses to The United States and its allies. The Iran deal lasts only 10 years, allows Iran to continue some uranium-enriching centrifuge research and doesn’t restrict its ballistic missile development. But, considering today’s unprecedented global challenges and threats, what the world body really needed is a serious dose of straight talk and clear call to action.

Giddings story wrong; lawmaker acted appropriately
A news story in circulation about Idaho state Rep. Priscilla Giddings is as salacious as it is wrong. The article’s author suggests a damning verdict for Giddings: Either she must have illegally run for office or she must have illegally claimed a property tax exemption. Either way, she’s a lawbreaker, so the story postulates. It turns out, neither is true. The story is built on a faulty premise and a misreading of Idaho law.
