Want to help special needs kids?
Louisiana bureaucrats say you may not, unless you prove to them that you’re needed.
I reported on a social worker who sued Louisiana because they told her she wasn’t “needed.”

Here’s more from John Stossel.
Ben Franklin warned: America has “a republic, if you can keep it.” If! He wasn’t sure the great experiment would last.
I ask Stossel TV guests, how did we make it to 250 years? Americans “went out into the untamed wilderness and established towns and cities that really didn’t have to lean on a central government in order to function.” says Linnea Lueken of Heartland Institute.

“Electricity replaces human labor and allows us to do more and better things,” says Paige Lambermont of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Here’s why we need MORE data centers, not fewer. Here’s more from John Stossel.
Zyns are SAFER than smoking.
But now, some states tax them the SAME as cigarettes. Some as high as 95%!
That’s just dumb.
“If you make the safer alternative more expensive,” Guy Bentley of the Reason Foundation explains, “more cigarettes will be sold.” Here’s more from John Stossel.
Many parents can’t afford day care centers.
They want a cheaper option: small, in-home day care.
What stops them?
Government rules.
“They are layering on regulations that make it impossible,” says Carrie Lukas of the Independent Women’s Forum. Here’s more from John Stossel, exploring how big government and over-regulation make daycare less available and more expensive.
Some people in America are really rich.So some states plan to tax them more.
