Government has a legitimate function, but the private sector has one too, and it is superior. In other words, people are better than institutions.
Cal ThomasBut prosperity without a soul is like a corpse whose heart has stopped beating. There is no life, only consumption.
Cal ThomasMy financial adviser Ric Edelman...thinks the time to start educating people about money is when they are children. He's set up a retirement plan called the RIC-E-Trust that can provide retirement security. A $5,000 one-time tax-deferred investment at birth, with an average interest rate of ten percent compounded, means that a child would have $2.4 million when he or she is 65 years old. Who needs Social Security with that kind of nest egg?
Cal ThomasAmericans who believe their government should not be a giant ATM, dispensing money and benefits to people who have not earned them, and who want their country returned to its founding principles, must now exercise that power before it is taken from them. The Tenth Amendment is one place to begin. The streets are another. It worked for the Left.
