Over the last few weeks what is left of the
Free-Market system has taken some major hits, could the Free-Market be
at the end of its road?  It might be according to National

to project onto Obama?s campaign the changes they want. Far fewer
voters realize what changes, exactly, Obama has promised: changes that
would essentially change America ? into France.
 

America is the world?s leading economic power
because American workers are productive and entrepreneurial. The U.S.
economy ? and government policy ? place relatively few barriers in the
way of upward mobility. Americans who work hard can rise as high and
far as their skills will take them, and many do.
