“I never thought that the possession of money would make me feel rich: it often does seem to have an opposite effect. But then, I have never had the opportunity of knowing, by experience, how it does make one feel.

“With a congressional mandate to run the deficit up as high as need be, there is no reason to raise taxes now and risk aggravating the depression. Instead, Obama will follow the opposite of the Reagan strategy. Reagan cut taxes and increased the deficit so that liberals could not increase spending. Obama will raise spending and increase the deficit so that conservatives cannot cut taxes. And, when the economy is restored, he will raise taxes with impunity, since the only people who will have to pay them would be rich Republicans.” PeopleNeedsReasonWould BeRunningPayEconomyRichCuttingRiskRepublicanTaxesOppositesIncreaseRaisesStrategySpendingNo ReasonDeficitMandatesImpunityAggravating Author:Dick Morris
“High fidelity is a rich experience, and you'll put up with terrible convenience to get it - maybe it's high cost, waiting in line, jumping through hoops. High convenience is the opposite - it's a commodity, but it's cheap and easy and ubiquitous. A great exclusive boutique shop is high fidelity; Wal-Mart is high convenience. Both are hard to establish in their own way. The thing to remember about sustaining either is that you can't sit still. Some other entity will always find a way to challenge your fidelity position or your convenience position.” WayStillsHardRememberEasyWaitingChallengesLinesRichPositionTerribleCostOppositesShopsEntityCommodityJumpingExclusiveConvenienceFidelitySustainingWaiting In LineHigh Fidelity Author:Kevin Maney
