KINDERCARE FOR “ADULTS”
In the New York Times:
We’ve turned universities into indoctrination/day care centers for young adults ...
[I]t’s ... also important to consider how much money colleges have been putting into student amenities as well. When I visited my undergrad alma mater a few years ago, the chancellor pointed out that three buildings had gone up in the past decade or so that were each larger than any existing building on campus. There was a library, a convocation center (a multipurpose arena), and a huge student gym. The gym, he said, was a top priority because parents and prospective students increasingly think of themselves as customers, shopping for the most amenities ...

DC TEA PARTY VIDEOS – PART III
And no protest goes without a counter-protest. Here’s a short segment.
What is amusing about this clip is just how close (in theme) the counterprotestors to the protest itself. “Tax work, not wealth” could be interpreted as the double-taxation of capital gains, once as corporate profits, and again as a distribution to the shareholder.
“Lower the minimum wage!” Well, I could take that to mean to put back the bottom rung on the ladder to success so that the unskilled have an easier time starting the climb.
The Left has no clue about economics.
