Professor Larry Schweikart, who teaches U.S. economic history at the University of Dayton... is a freeper.

Pretty much says it all. The common link in all the "works" discussed...personal responsibility.

Very good article! Having been born into the working/rural class, I always find it amusing when privileged lefties try to explain why my family was oppressed. They never can explain why I turned into one of the oppressors (bad genetics, probably).

The path to a good life is stunningly simple: stay in school, work hard, obey the law, and don't acquire any relationships or addictions you can't afford to maintain long-term. I may cross stitch that on a pillow!

even Jesus said, there will ALWAYS be the poor amongst us!!!

I have three words for anyone who thinks the poor are victims - try employing them. If I had known that in return for giving people a livelihood they will lie, cheat, and steal in return I'd have arranged my career differently.
