We like to think that a free market’s greatest strength is its self-corrective nature Picture Quote #1

Jobless workers, especially those out of work for months and years, don’t have the skills to multitask in a fast-paced economy where medical workers need to know electronic record-keeping, machinists need computer skills, and marketing managers can no longer delegate software duties Picture Quote #1

Anyone who has been around Washington politics long enough can’t avoid this truism: Election-year money is like a rushing river that invariably finds cracks in any dam the reformers erect Picture Quote #1

Globalization is stirring widespread economic anxiety, and middle class incomes have stagnated while a class of super-rich has emerged Picture Quote #1

The centerpiece of Obamanomics - raising taxes on high earners and investors and lowering them on the middle class - is attacked by free-marketers for penalizing economic success and possibly further stalling economic growth Picture Quote #1

Direct mail was the basis of a lot of new Right organizations in the 70s and early 80s, and it actually led to the downfall of the majority of them. It’s very expensive, and you end up putting your organization more and more in debt if you’re not successful with it Picture Quote #1
