Where We Talk About Tomorrow’s Issues Today
Minimum Intentions
Minimum wage is a prime example of a policy being judged by intent rather than outcome. Those who advocate for it, amongst the citizenry, have the greatest of intentions, however, what actually transpires as a result of these intentions never meets the lofty goals of pay equality, poverty combatance, or the like. Politics and economics today are riddled with the short term and the seen. One cannot entirely blame the public for succumbing to such illusions, but folly remains folly whether accidental or purposeful. Intent means nothing when the consequence brings destruction.
Do Republicans have the Balls?
To date, not one “red state” in the union has implemented a voucher system nor any measure of school choice. The republican idea of pushing back is passing legislation outlawing the teaching of CRT. This is far from a fix, for it fails to address the core issue with the education system—the centralized power of government.
The Question of Abortion
Murry N. Rothbard’s argument in favor of legal abortion in a free society challenged me and bumped against my strong religious foundation. I believe in property rights, of which self-ownership is key, but acquiescing to such a posture left me uncomfortable and unsettled. How can one reconcile one’s belief in the protection of the unborn child’s life, while maintaining a woman’s freewill over her own body?
Which Laws Prevent Gun Violence
Recently, President Joe Biden, through executive action, sought to pressure congress toward gun control legislation. A topic where the left seems to pick and choose its applicability based on political expediency. They accuse widespread access to firearms as the problem; therefore, they believe that limiting gun access will address the problem. Sounds simple enough but allow me to pose this question to the reader. “If a person has decided to break the primary law of do not murder, then what is the applicability of a gun law?”
