Reports from Eastern Europe

Eastern European governments begin seizing private pensions. Meanwhile, France and Ireland "use" the money in government-structured pensions for other purposes.

Andrew Klavan:

"Free people can treat each other justly, but they can't make life fair. To get rid of the unfairness among individuals, you have to exercise power over them. The more fairness you want, the more power you need. Thus, all dreams of fairness become dreams of tyranny in the end."

On the other hand, Romanian witches are using spells to protest new taxes. Guess you have to scare 'em somehow.
