“We do not hear the term compassionate applied to business executives or entrepreneurs, certainly not when they are engaged in their normal work. Yet in terms of results in the measurable form of jobs created, lives enriched, communities built, living standards raised, and poverty healed, a handful of capitalists has done infinitely more for mankind than all the self-serving politicians, academics, social workers, and religionists who march under the banner of compassion.” SelfDoneJobsFormSocialTermCommunityResultsCompassionPovertyMankindPoliticianNormalStandardsBuiltEntrepreneurRaisedWorkersEngagedExecutivesMarchServingCompassionateCapitalistHandfulHealedBannerSocial WorkerSelf Serving Author:Nathaniel Branden

“When a social movement adopts the compromises of legislators, it has forgotten its role, which is to push and challenge the politicians, not fall in meekly behind them. We who protest...are not politicians. We are citizens.

“The fallacy is that politicians don't really do much about social issues. They just demonize their opponents as elitists and reap the benefit. It's a stupid way to do politics.
