Posted on13. Oct, 2011 by Tommy Newberry.
For statists, above all else, things must be fair. And by “things,” they mean everything. And by “fair,” they don’t mean equal opportunity or equal rules—they mean equal outcomes.

President Barack Obama’s attacks on “the rich” doesn’t help the economy, doesn’t create jobs, and it does not inspire excellence.
