Would Ms. Rhea please disclose whether her progressive ideas are based on revealed knowledge or empirical evidence? Cheating among school administrators and teachers, neglecting important subjects needed for informed citizens with satisfying vocations, and other developments have followed adoption of More

This was the first year I had attended the kick off meeting, and I have to admit listening to Mr. Munger in person was quite enlightening. Both books are now on my list (and on their way)! By the way, Mr. Munger himself proclaimed his Republican orientation at the meeting for those that were not there; More
I agree with the general point you are making, but it could be argued that the two earner household finance has held wages back for more than one reason, for example, limiting mobility of families. In the event A single earner household loses it's supply of income, the family or couple can always pick More
Sounds like these churches are primarily businesses with employees like any other. A church is not and they shouldn't consider anyone who ministers as 'employees'. They're not. Last I looked religious organizations were exempt from most labor laws for anyone involved in the ministry. Severence? Benefits? More
As the article states, BMW is just making use of a void in the market from Mini. If there is another type of car that can be produced and will sell, why not do it.

Paul, you may be right. However, the point here is that in the Muslim world any sociopathic behavior is OK if it is committed against a Jew. No one says that beating up a straight guy that the beaters think is gay is OK any more than it would be OK to beat him if he was gay. There is no justification More

The too-big-to-fail debate is a no-brainer. Couching it as a choice between taxpayers footing the More
Carlos,
You had me at the first sentence and then lost me with the rest. I agree completely that Britain and its problems should just stay over there (for now). They gave us up 250 years ago and have played no role since; that W could manipulate Blair was an anomaly. But to keep sawing on this Obama More
You're wise to not base the company car tax in the US. However, I think you can list yourself as the owner of a company registered outside of the US, even if you are a US citizen. I certainly know Americans in Europe who own companies that are registered in their adopted (European) country. They make More
I'd like to point out that the marriage tax being proposed is ridiculous. Raising taxes on 200K of individual or 250K of married income? I know in a lot of states making a resume 125K is a great living but here in SoCal making 125K really does not get you far even if there are 2 of you doing it. Warren More
