Margaret Thatcher said, “The problem with Socialism is you eventually run out of other people’s money.” I had a conversation with a teenager recently who parroted the typical bumper sticker thinking of our culture: “Why don’t those rich people pay more taxes?”   I asked him how much they are currently paying?  He admitted that he didn’t…

When i was a kid, School House Rock played a huge part of my edjamacation…. I mean education. Well, no ones perfect, right. I learned through song about government, “I’m just a bill up on Capital Hill.” I learned about adverbs and conjunctions: “Allie Allie Allie, get your adverbs here” and “Conjunction junction, what’s your…
