College Lesson In Socialism
I received this in an email and thought that it was worth repeating. 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’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and […]

Seriously. Adam Cohen from TIME magazine lays out the […]
