Minimum wage not working so well for minority youths

By Steve McGough / May 10, 2011 /

The American people are being sold a bill of goods – lied to – concerning the effects of a minimum wage. Federal and state minimum wage mandates do nothing to help provide a “living wage” nor does it do anything to improve the overall employment picture. Walter E. Williams’ column today discusses how this government…

Invisible victims of FDA drug policy

By Steve McGough / February 8, 2011 /

I’d call this quite the intellectual challenge. At what point do you stop testing and start distributing new drugs that will help people live healthier lives? Walter Williams points out an important issue influencing the drug approval process.

The global warming religious experience

By Steve McGough / January 13, 2010 /

Global warming really is a religion – based almost exclusively on faith and feelings – where facts are created and manipulated on a daily basis to keep the flock in-check. I’ve always said man-made global warming is complete vanity, and our friend Walter Williams agrees.

Does it pay to be moral?

By Steve McGough / April 1, 2009 /

I certainly do think that being moral pays off. You feel good about yourself, you can sleep well at night and of course there is the positive karma that surrounds you. But when the government establishes it is necessary to take wealth from one half of the population and give it to the other half…

Are you up on your civics? Take the quiz!

By Steve McGough / December 3, 2008 /

I’m going to be blunt. There are a lot of ignorant Americans walking the streets of this great country, and I’m not sure what to do about it. We already know dollars spent per student, teacher to student ratios nor the number of computers in the classroom have much effect on academic performance, so today…

By Steve McGough / November 26, 2008 / Comments Off on Does our government trade with Japan?

The short and correct answer is no, and our government does not trade with any other country either. Walter Williams offers us a timely lesson today since Congress, talk radio and the nation is discussing the proposed bailout of the nations big three automakers. I’m not sure if GM, Ford and Chrysler really make up…

Redistribution – evil concealed by money

By Steve McGough / November 19, 2008 /

Another great Walter Williams column today. I enjoy reading Prof. Williams since he does something similar to what I try to do here at Conservative247. He just does it so much better. So, can an evil act be “transformed” into something that seems much more legit? Onward to your next lesson – using great analogies…

Affordable health care

Walter Williams has another great article this week. Kind of works well with my post on why we should not be electing Obama as president.

The liberal education syndicate

By Steve McGough / August 14, 2008 /

I’m using syndicate to imply a negative connotation. Here at Conservative247 we try our best to pass along information that is educational. Generally, it’s no holds barred when it comes to providing lessons about what defines conservative concepts here in the United States. If you have not added Walter E. Williams to your reading list,…
