Tom Purcell: Somebody else to pay for my shower (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I can’t wait to live in a condo again — because I’m addicted to long, hot showers. Currently, I own a house and I have to pay for every extra ounce of water I use. In the condo, I will have help. You see, there are 40 owners in my condo association, so I will pay only one-fortieth of the water bill, the gas to heat it and the sewage to dump it. The other 39 will cover the rest of my long showers. I will cover only a sliver of theirs — assuming they don’t abuse the privilege the way I will. Bette
Tom Purcell: Parents choosing Catholic school values (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In two states where school-choice vouchers are available, many parents are choosing Catholic schools. After my own Catholic school experience, I think I know why. A school-choice battle has been under way in many states across the country. Parents want vouchers so they can pay private-school tuition.

According to “The Millionaire Next Door” by Thomas J. Stanle
Tom Purcell: How college tuition has gotten so high (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why is four-year college tuition so high in America? William Bennett, President Reagan’s secretary of education, offered his hypothesis in 1987. In a New York Times op-ed titled “Our Greedy Colleges,” he argued that colleges were able to raise tuition because increases in financial aid, particularly federal loan subsidies, enabled the higher prices. Bennett’s warning gained support after a sweeping 1992 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act substantially expanded access to federal student
Tom Purcell: Autumn, finally — a season to calm our politics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
September has arrived, which means autumn is here. It couldn’t come soon enough. You see, a 2026 Change Research survey finds that 30% of voters name politics as the single biggest source of stress in their lives — more than money, health or work. Look, politics is important. An informed, engaged public is essential to our country’s continued success at the local, state and federal levels. Not so long ago, politics knew its place. It lived in the opinion section of the Sunday newspaper. It was d
