Joe W. - Welfare for the chosen few?
As you already know, someone who claimed he was a plumber planning to purchase a business approached Obama while he was campaigning. Since that's old news, I'll only review this briefly.

Obama's "Redistribution" Constitution
Excellent opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal Online by Steven G. Calabresi.

Credit Card Security
If you've used a debit or credit card lately, you've probably noticed that you are never asked for any identification and, in many cases, don't even need to sign for your purchase. When I bought some items in Walgreen's recently, I just swiped my card and she handed me a receipt. I realize this is so you never show your card to a cashier or clerk. That was always the last thing I ever worried about because, after all, most of them do not have photogr...
