The Difference Between A Politician And A

It's A Real Enigma Why People Are So Averse To Real Free Market Capitalism Even Now. Here We Are, In The Century That Has Seen Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot-and We're Still Being Warned Against The 'robber Barons' Of The 19th Century.

The Most Successful Revolutions Aren't Those That Are Celebrated With Parades And Banners, Drums And Trumpets, Cannons And Fireworks. The Really Successful Revolutions Are Those That Occur Quietly, Unnoticed, Uncommemorated. We Don't Celebrate The Day The United States Constitution Was Destroyed; It Didn't Happen On A Specific Date, And Most Americans Still Don't Realize It Happened At All.
