Foreign monetary aid not always beneficial to nations

Published Aug 28, 2007

In today's world, it's common for Catholic sermons to extract scriptures from the Book of Mark used during the Gospel reading. My personal favorite verse from the Book of Mark reads, "Those who raise themselves will be humbled ... and those who humble themselves will be raised."Personally, I'm the type of person who believes in doing good for others before they do good unto me and giving to the needy and less fortunate.

Increasing minimum wage will not alleviate poverty; higher pay rate eliminates motivation to work harder

Published Aug 24, 2007

In reading "New minimum wage a step, still not enough," I would have to disagree with some of the author's viewpoints.
