{Thread From Yesteryear-correct link posted later in the thread}"The Saints Ain't Sinners" (op-ed by 2 AEI economists in LA Times - merged)

2) The link to the story on the LA Times is dead. The story isn't there anymore. Here's a link to the same story on the American Enterprise Institute's website.
