If you want to understand how to fix a problem in the world, you have to ask who is profiting from the problem. Not who is suffering from it.

My silence doesn't mean I agree with you. It just means you left me speechless with your stupidity.

A country that forces human beings to beg for food at pantries in order to avoid taxing the wealthy is morally backrupt and has no future.

One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated.
