We need to go forward with ideas based in sound economic policy, not redistribution and fake/crony capitalism. And it all starts in your local cities/towns/counties! "Even if you leave [...]

While in Africa Sunday, Obama pledged to redistribute $7B of taxpayer dollars to bolster the sub-Saharan electrical grid.
