Support for the Democrats’ plan to overhaul healthcare is at an all-time low. According to a Rasmussen poll that came out yesterday, only 41% of Americans support Obama Care, while 56% are opposed. This shouldn’t be a surprise to YSP readers, as we’ve showcased the flaws in their proposal since the beginning. Over the past few months, the arguments against Obama Care have been much stronger than the arguments for it. Clearly. The pro argument deficit just got much steeper, thanks... more
We live in a polarized world. We are totally preoccupied with opposites and contrast. We root for the Yankees OR the Red Sox. We’re partial to vanilla OR chocolate. We vote Democrat OR Republican.

Payday is wonderful. It’s a mini-Christmas every two weeks. Many times, it’s a complete surprise, as you’re not exactly sure what you’re going to get. Maybe you skimped on your hours, or worked a ton of overtime. Maybe you hit bonus, or just missed it. Maybe you made a ton of sales, or didn’t make any. Or maybe you’re on salary, so your pay doesn’t fluctuate at all. Whatever the case, the walk to HR or your boss’ office, is extremely exciting. I call... more
