    Kids Ordered to Pay Sales Tax at Children’s Expo Receive a Sad Lesson in Entrepreneurship0

    Twelve-year-old Lucie Wise couldn’t wait to open her own business. On three separate occasions, she had accompanied her mother to the Children’s Entrepreneur Market – an expo of child-run businesses hosted annually by the Utah nonprofit Libertas Institute – dreaming of the day she could set up her own booth and sell her wares to curious passersby.

  • The Horrors of Modern Public Opinion

    The Horrors of Modern Public Opinion0
