Defending Free Market Capitalism

Brian Fraley11 years ago11 years ago01 mins

As for my work? My dad weeded onion fields in the depression. Crawling on his hands and knees for hours in the hot sun for the equivalent of spare change for his single-mother led family.

Brian Fraley9 years ago9 years ago01 mins

WTMJ radio’s Steve Scaffidi and Erik Bilstad invited me on their show this afternoon to talk about the new Marquette Law poll. Some take aways for me, despite the heat in the GOP budget debate, people still feel like the state is going in the right direction rather than on the wrong track. On the…
