Most people living below the official poverty line also have air conditioning, color television, and a microwave oven - and these too are not usually handed out by government entitlement programs. Cell phones and other electronic devices are by no means unheard of in low-income neighborhoods, where children would supposedly go hungry if there were no school-lunch programs. In reality, low-income people are overweight more often than other Americans.” PeopleIfsMeanChildrenRealityGovernmentSchoolLinesPovertyAirConditionsCarTelevisionColorLowsProgramPhonesHungryIncomeCellsOfficialsNeighborhoodDevicesLunchTruckEntitlementCell PhoneOverweightOvensUnheardLow IncomeMicrowavesEntitlement ProgramsSchool LunchElectronic DevicesColor Television Author:Thomas Sowell

“Now listen to the first three aims of the corporatist movement in Germany, Italy and France during the 1920s. These were developed by the people who went on to become part of the Fascist experience: (1) shift power directly to economic and social interest groups; (2) push entrepreneurial initiative in areas normally reserved for public bodies; (3) obliterate the boundaries between public and private interest -- that is, challenge the idea of the public interest.
