Unfortunately, the banking system is implicitly (and often quite explicitly) backed by the power of the state, to which we all pay taxes. The way...
The problem with the system is that both the most powerful and the least powerful engage in lots of debt, but the powerful get away with being...
The root problem, when all's said and done, is that we have a market economy in name only. The 'capitalism' that operates in the US, Western...
Certainly, promise keeping is a timelessly good virtue. The trouble is that most people don't realize we live in a fundamentally promise-breaking...

It may be true that Obama's delay of the penalty was by legislation rather than order. I apologize. But I'm pretty sure I heard on the radio in...
