Free Talk Live‘s Ian and Mark broadcast a special television-only version of their radio show on MCAM TV-23 (Manchester Community Access … all » Media) on primary day, 2008. Not only do we talk about Liberty but you also get to watch us do something we don’t get to do any more with our national radio show: shamelessly promote a business owner for free food!
Last week, I called WKBK’s morning show with Dan Mitchell to discuss the inefficiency of government schools, why vouchers are a bad idea, market education, what would happen with the poor.

How could you be against this? Do you hate teachers? Do you hate public schools?
Of course I don’t hate teachers. Education is very important. That is precisely why it needs to be taken out of the hands of government. Eating is important too. Would you want the government deciding what you can eat? Would you want government bureaucrats distributing food? If not, why would you want bureaucrats deciding what your kids should learn? (more…)
Mark Edgington talks about the news and how it relates to small government.
Mark talks about the first GOP debate, the Main Winchester, Marlborough roundabout will begin shortly (eminent domain and all), the Ashuelot Board looks to banning dogs from the park, City Officials ignore us, Don Imus is suing CBS for $122 million, the Keene Police Department, College, gas prices, Civil Unions, Public Service of NH, Income Tax, mandatory seat belt law in NH.
Sometimes you have to wonder what some folks under the golden dome in Concord are smoking. Why do so many reps have an “I have to save the world” complex?
What I’m talking about is one of the stupidest bills I’ve ever seen-a bill to tax candy. Not just tax it, but create an entire new taxation system supposedly to fund education but it seems to your humble narrator that the costs of compliance and enforcement will be far greater than the revenue.
