Intellectual Property (IP) is the cornerstone building block of any successful society. It means nothing if you protect physical property theft – if you do not also protect the IP that made the physical property possible. If you won’t let people steal Microsoft’s new operating system disc from Office Depot – but will allow them […]
In 2019, with a $4-trillion-per-year federal Leviathan, running a joint called Less Government can lead to our taking some seemingly confusing and contradictory policy positions. Of course, we want LESS government – not NO government. We’d like somewhere between $4-trillion-per-year – and Somalia. Admittedly closer to Somalia, but still….
