Fortunately, It’s Wisconsin …

. . . so liberals will have plenty of cheese to go with their whine, as the new law limiting the power of government-employee unions is enacted. Note the biased implication of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel headline: Collective bargaining law published despite restraining order Yes, despite the judicial majesty of Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi, […]

Mises on ‘Christian Socialism’

“Christian Socialism, as it has taken root in the last few decades among countless followers of all Christian churches, is merely a variety of State Socialism. … Agriculture and handicraft, with perhaps small shopkeeping, are the only admissible occupations.
