The liberal Washington Post ran this headline: Richest 20 percent get half the overall savings from U.S. tax breaks, CBO says. The CBO is the Congressional Budget Office.

Wage-Earning Moms: 40% of Families With Kids Under 18
The Pew Research center has released a report of working moms. About 40% of American families with kids under 18 have working moms who are either single moms (63%) or wives who earn more than their husbands do (37%). In 1960, this was 11%, not 40%. Wives increasingly have more college education than their husbands. [...] READ MORE

How Mises and Rothbard Used Academia to Undermine It
If you are interested in the history of ideas, at some point this question will occur to you: “How is it possible for someone to gain influence, yet at the same time retain his independence?” If you traffic in ideas, you have to be able to do both.
