Ziad K. Abdelnour Quotes

We are in an economic war. It is a war between those who create wealth and those who believe they have some sort of divine mandate to appropriate wealth. They don’t have such an authoritative command. I don’t think they ever did. We have tried their command-andcontrol methods for nearly a century because they said they knew better. It is now obvious that they didn’t.
