		<description><![CDATA[An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama&#8217;s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, &#8220;OK, [...]]]></description>

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thought this was a great quote. The KGB and I won&#8217;t agree on much, but at least they know what to look for. They&#8217;re willing to overlook intentions they don&#8217;t agree with, as long as VALUE is being brought to the table. Results, not intentions, are what matter. VALUE has value. &#8220;The KGB here are [...]]]></description>

As no man had ever a point of pride that was not injurious to him, so no man had ever a defect that was not somewhere made useful to him.

		<description><![CDATA[Economic illiteracy is frightening. How can we possibly expect our elected officials to pass laws that make economic sense, when the electorate can&#8217;t tell the difference between a tax and a fee-for-service? Between charges levied by the government, and charges invoiced by a private company, directly tied to services you&#8217;ve contracted for? David Pogue published [...]]]></description>
