		<description><![CDATA[The other week I was debating a guy on Facebook, who was telling me how government has to provide certain services. I&#8217;m pretty sure it began because of the Tennessee fire fighters watching a house burn down. Of course as most of these arguments go, the Postal Service was brought up. The argument he was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having seen a complete smearing of the free market and libertarianism because of this Tennessee fire fiasco, I figured I should chime in with my four cents (two cents just aren&#8217;t what they once were thanks to the Fed). The argument goes that because the government charged a $75/year fee for fire protection and then [...]]]></description>

If the benevolent state wasn’t there to stop it, greedy businessmen would collude to monopolize every industry. We would all suffer by having to pay the excessive prices [...]]]></description>

Even the people who run for government offices tell us every election how bad the government is and how they are going to fix it. So what&#8217;s up with [...]]]></description>

Pennsylvania hasn&#8217;t paid the annual recommended amount to its school and state employee pension funds in years, and won&#8217;t for at least another decade if lawmakers adopt a budget proposal designed to spread costs into the [...]]]></description>
