Ziad K. Abdelnour Quotes
It is an oft-repeated axiom that a person can learn a whole lot about a society by how it treats its poor; but just as much may be learned by looking at how that same society treats its rich.

It will be determined by our understanding of the so-called rich and by our need to foster and protect this minority of true wealth creators.
