Minimum Wage Is Anti Small Business

I found an interesting headline on CNN's website. They are calling the Minimum Wage a raise for poor people. First of all, that's complete hogwash. Secondly, it verifies quite plainly the liberal slant at CNN.

I'm surprised that people get suckered into the minimum wage debate all the time. I've heard it explained that there are more employees than employers and it's natural for people to think negatively about their employer. Employees always suspect that an owner has more money than they really do and that they aren't sharing enough of it with them. There needs to be a re-education on this matter.

Markets decide wages. It's that simple. Free markets make our economy work. It needs to stay as unbridled as possible. If you start imposing on business owners what wage should be provided, you will likely put many small business owners out of business in favor of big businesses. This is also ironic since Republicans seem to have been characterized by the liberal press as being pro big business.

Superstition and Christianity

Ever said "good luck"? Ever found a penny heads up and thought it was your lucky day? Ever hung a horseshoe above the door for good luck? Ever thought you had a lucky shirt or pair of socks when your team is on a winning streak? Ever owned a rabbit's foot?

There are all kinds of things that we tend to put a loose form of trust in for various reasons. As a Christian, should we be indulging this nature of ours? Are these harmless little things or proof of a lack of honest faith?

I've played along with some of these things and others. I know they aren't real. I know that superstition doesn't get me anywhere. It really is all about faith. How much do we really have and how much trust do we really have in the Lord? I wonder that about myself sometimes, especially in regards to my car.
