The International Franchise Association held a convention in Washington this week where most of the Radio Shack, Dunkin Donuts, Curves and other franchisers were grumbling about new federal regulations, especially the impact of Obamacare.

Whether it’s a general apathy for all things political, youth just turning a blind-eye to current events, or a reflection of the sad state of public education, it seems that kids these days aren’t too savvy when it comes to presidential candidates, other than Barack Obama.
Hopefully this is an over-generalization, but judging by what transpired when my friends and I tried to post our “Stop Dictator Obama” [...]

The fundamental dynamics of the U.S.-China trade partnership–certainly the biggest economic story of this generation–boil down to “capital exploits labor.” I am well aware that this sort of quasi-Marxist analysis is supposed to be passe in the [...]
