Arthur outlines two ways to look at the political compassion index — or whose vision for America will help get the economy moving again. The Romney comments on the 47% of Americans who would vote for him, secretly [...]
The Republican and Democratic conventions kicked off the unofficial high season of American politics. For political and news junkies its nirvana for a few weeks. It culminates with the election of a new President and Congress on November 6, 2012. Anyhow, I wanted to share with you a story on a recent conversation in this [...]
