It’s a good article but it doesn’t explain at all how the appointment of Puzder is supposed to help solve the problem discussed (EEOC “disparate impact rulings”).

Read the entire Breibart article. This guy is a firm believer in vastly increased legal immigration, complete amnesty for illegals already here, and deportation under almost no circumstances.

Puzder would be a cancer in the Trump cabinet and should be excised right now.

When you’ve never signed the front of a paycheck under these circumstances it’s easy to be a critic, or an author of an opinion article.

I’ve never signed the front of a paycheck, but somehow - maybe I absorbed it from uncles who ran a marginal family business, tho we only visited for a couple of weeks a year - I never looked at employers as problems but as benefactors.
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.
Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil . . . For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)
It is a marvel to me that that quote - The very first words of Common Sense, the enormously popular published argument that drove the American Revolution - is not famous. I learned it on FR - and even then, somehow I didn’t recognize its true import.
“Writers [who] have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them” is a precise description of socialists. Which, come to think of it, is probably the reason why I wasn’t taught it in H.S; I had a teacher make a statement to me, in class, to which the above would have been the perfect riposte.
