No Coercion

There is noth­ing pretty or flashy about today’s win­ning blog and its post. In fair­ness, it is a new site called No Coer­cion. It is a polit­i­cal site with a strong lib­er­tar­ian slant. But what­ever your pol­i­tics, this author will make you think. As an exam­ple, he was against the recent immi­gra­tion bill because of the way the bill cen­tral­ized power in the fed­eral gov­ern­ment; as opposed to being anti-immigration. In fact, in an old fashioned-American-spirit way, he is pro-immigration. He explains, “wel­fare hand­outs attract­ing a higher amount of immi­gra­tion than the mar­ket would nat­u­rally demand: this, of course, is not an immi­gra­tion problem–it’s an over­all social­ist scheme that increases poverty and depen­dence, dis­torts all kinds of mar­kets (includ­ing the labor mar­ket), and should be done away with.” The words are from his post titled Immi­gra­tion is the Sin­cer­est Form of Flat­tery. The Ris­ing Blog­ger is pleased to give it our Post of the Day award. Keep think­ing, and keep us on our toes!
