2014 Symposium: Should the government be involved in the politics of sports (LA Clippers, Ray Rice, and Washington Redskins)?
Asheville, NC: Government is actively involved in the regulation of sports. Legal monopolies are granted to the MLB, the NBA, and the NFL.

2013 Symposium: Welfare, Food Stamps, and WIC Are All Programs That Need Reformed, How Can We Do It? Is Welfare Drug Testing Working? Or Is It A Waste Of Tax Payer Money?
Cartwright: Drug test all recipients of these programmes. Utah announced a couple months ago that it saved over $350,000 in the first year that it required drug testing for welfare recipients.

I know of … Continue reading 2013 Symposium: Welfare, Food Stamps, and WIC Are All Programs That Need Reformed, How Can We Do It? Is Welfare Drug Testing Working? Or Is It A Waste Of Tax Payer Money?
2013 Symposium: Conflicting States In Laws Can Cause Problems, Should The Federal Government Become Involved And Pass Blanket Laws?

2013 Symposium: Should We Raise The Minimum Wage?
Cartwright: No. Personally, I feel businesses should pay their workers a good, decent, livable wage. I support an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work. Not all businesses feel that way. And for a lot of businesses it’s a matter of economics. They simply can’t afford more than minimum wage and still generate a … Continue reading 2013 Symposium: Should We Raise The Minimum Wage?
2013 Symposium: We Are Currently $18 Trillion In Debt; What Should We Do?
Cartwright: We’ve discussed this extensively before. I believe we debated it at length at one of the champagne summits back in October. The Republicans had the Democrats and Mr. Obama over the barrel back in October with the government shutdown and they caved in. They got scared that the media was blaming them and that … Continue reading 2013 Symposium: We Are Currently $18 Trillion In Debt; What Should We Do?
2013 Symposium: Do You Have Any Mid-Term Congressional Elections For 2014?
Cartwright: I hope the Republicans keep the House of Representatives and retake a majority in the Senate in 2014.

However, I would point out that I think the DNC is … Continue reading 2013 Symposium: Do You Have Any Mid-Term Congressional Elections For 2014?
2013 Symposium: Should The Congress Repeal Obamacare?
Cartwright: Yes. Obamacare should be repealed. However, there are parts of the law that a lot of people like such as keeping kids on their parents insurance until they’re 26 and ensuring that insurers don’t turn you down because of a preexisting condition.
