Generate A Climate Of Opportunity… But Not By Spending

President Obama recently generated a furor with his speech in Roanoke, Virginia, in which he stated: There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who … know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own.  You didn’t get there on your own.  … If you were successful, somebody along the […]

If You Built It, He Will Come
