More > that ensure the rich get richer while leaving most Americans worse off. It’s time for the rules to change.

America's drinking laws contradict everything that America is supposed to be about. America is one of only a few countries with a drinking age as high as 21. Only a handful of other countries have... More > such a high age limit. The drinking age has become a ritual, with twenty-first birthday parties being seen as a rite of passage, an event that marks a person's transition to adulthood.
