This has to happen if America is to remain strong and true to its ideals. It’s a practical necessity and a moral imperative. Last year during the Occupy movement, the conservatives who oppose tax equality saw the first real ripples of discontent. Their response was either Marie Antoinette (“Let them eat cake”) or Ebenezer Scrooge (“Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?”). Short-sighted,...
Creating a Prison-Corporate Complex →
Sweatshop labor is back with a vengeance. It can be found across broad stretches of the American economy and around the world. Penitentiaries have become a niche market for such work. The privatization of prisons in recent years has meant the creation of a small army of workers too coerced and right-less to complain.

Dear people who shame fat people and fat bodies,
I’m going to assume that you are doing what you truly think is best for fat people. Normally I can see where many different points of view are valid, but in this matter you are just wrong. Shaming is never the way to go and here is…

“The Secret Service determined that “the Nuge” [Ted Nugent] was just talking out...”
– Michael Kindt on the double standard of liberal anti-establishment criticism vs. conservative anti-establishment criticism. One is culturally acceptable and encouraged (even when it takes the form of innocuous death threats), and the other is almost universally vilified (even when it’s simply a...
Krugman: Death of a Fairy Tale →
Now, claims that only austerity can pacify bond markets have proved every bit as wrong as claims that the confidence fairy will bring prosperity. Almost three years have passed since The Wall Street Journal breathlessly warned that the attack of the bond vigilantes on U.S. debt had begun; not only have borrowing costs remained low, they’ve actually fallen by half. Japan has faced dire warnings...
