Congress is supposed to serve the people, but in 1982 it voted itself enormous tax benefits and perks—including deductions for housing, food, servants, and utilities—while ordinary Americans faced rising unemployment and stagnant wages. These special privileges allowed members to shield tens of thousands of dollars from taxation, essentially giving themselves a hidden pay raise while discussing hi...

Does the Supreme Court Know Best? 17.12.2025

This article questions whether the U.S. Supreme Court truly serves justice, using its unanimous ruling against the Old Order Amish—forcing them to pay Social Security taxes despite religious objections—as a focal point. The author compares the Court’s logic to that of the Soviet Union, arguing that if Social Security were truly a “common good,” people wouldn’t need to be coerced into it. Highlight...

Can We Legislate our Way to Freedom? 24.09.2025

When killers are set free under the excuse of "PMT"—premenstrual tension—what becomes of justice? In this episode, R.J. Rushdoony exposes the dangerous shift from responsibility to rationalization.
