“One wonders whether the Obama re-election campaign may be on the right track as it seeks to apply the you-break-it-you-own-it rule to Bush and the American economy. Hardly a day goes by without President Obama or his surrogates arguing that it takes longer than four years to recover from an economic crisis so long in the making.” YearsMayLongPresidentWonderBreakEconomyFourEconomicElectionCrisisTrackArguingCampaignsPresident ObamaFour YearsRight TrackEconomic CrisisSurrogatesAmerican Economy Author:Jon Meacham

“One of the most insidious consequences of the present burden of personal income tax is that it strips many middle class families of financial reserves & seems to lend support to campaigns for socialized medicine, socialized housing, socialized food, socialized every thing. The personal income tax has made the individual vastly more dependent on the State & more avid for state hand-outs. It has shifted the balance in America from an individual-centered to a State-centered economic & social system.” MadeStatesHandsSeemsAmericaIndividualSocialClassSupportEconomicMiddleBalanceTaxesConsequenceMedicineFinancialBurdenCampaignsIncomeDependentMiddle ClassReservesHousingIncome TaxInsidiousSocial SystemsAvidMiddle Class FamilySocialized Medicine Author:William Henry Chamberlin

“Anybody who imagines that an election can be won under these circumstances by banging on about William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright is ... to put it mildly ... severely under-estimating the electoral importance of pocketbook issues.

“We have a very old conservation movement, particularly in the United States, which has focused on campaigns to protect endangered species: the spotted owl, the old-growth forest. But usually it stops there. To me, biodiversity is the full spectrum. Species conservation is not only about wilderness conservation. Its also about protecting the livelihood of people even while changing the dominant relationship that humans have had with other species. In India, its an economic issue, not just an ecological one.” PeopleHumansStatesGrowthUnitedUnited StatesIssuesEconomicMovementProtectIndiaSpeciesFocusedCampaignsForestsWildernessDominantConservationSpectrumEcologicalLivelihoodOwlBiodiversityEndangered SpeciesEconomic Issues Author:Vandana Shiva
