Will The Deep State Win The Election?

It seems no matter who we vote for -- or even if we don't vote -- the unelected permanent government continues to push us toward dictatorship.

Blame Government, Not Markets for Monopoly

By Ron Paul

When Time-Warner announced it planned to merge with another major communications firm, many feared the new company would exercise near-total monopoly power. These concerns led some to call for government action to block the merger in order to protect both Time-Warner's competitors and consumers.

No, I am not talking about Time-Warner’s recent announced plan to merge with AT&T, but the reaction to Time-Warner’s merger with (then) Internet giant AOL in 2000. Far from creating an untou...

The Elimination of Reason

By Jeff Thomas

Recently, I paid for an item with the exact amount requested, including 89 cents in change. The salesgirl stared at the coins and clearly wasn’t sure what to do. Eventually, she reached for a calculator and began to total them up one at a time: 25 + 25 + 25 + 10 + 4.

Why Profits Are So Misunderstood

By Chris Rossini

In a free market economy (or even an economy choked by government, like ours) profits and losses act as the beating heart. Get rid of either one and an economy-wide heart attack must ensue. Unfortunately, what profits are and the extremely valuable function that they serve are almost universally misunderstood in modern America.

If profits and losses were understood, you wouldn't hear tritecliche's like "people over profits" or "sustainable capitalism" or "corporate social...

PATRIOT Act At 15: Do You Feel Safer?

Fifteen years ago yesterday, President George W. Bush signed the PATRIOT Act into law. It was said to be a necessary - and temporary - response to the terrorist attacks on 9/11. It has since become a permanent scar on the Fourth Amendment and the national-security state in Washington D.C. tells us we are in more danger than ever. Is this working?Watch The Liberty Report LIVE
