Monks In Louisana Win Court Battle And Bury the Coffin Cartel

BROUWER: CONGRESS NEVER CUTS SPENDING

WHAT A GREAT DAY for free markets and economic liberty against ridiculous government interference and control which benefitted only the enfranchised funeral industry and its lobbyists in Louisana. Today the monks of St. Joseph's Abbey and the Institute for Justice won their case in federal court! The YouTube below gives you the background.

Now these monks can go back to doing work with their hands they've done for over 100 years--by making their beautiful and simple caskets again with the help of Institute for Justice. The IJ litigates on behalf of individuals whose rights are being violated by government.

H/T Carpe Diem

Good for them! Few people know that funeral homes throughout the south are centers of real political power in the south much as union halls in the northeast.

I'm with the monks and thanks for sharing this.
