		<description><![CDATA[by David Solway - It’s really very simple.

		<description><![CDATA[by Dennis Prager - In the contemporary world, where left-wing attitudes are regarded as normative, it is a given that capitalism, with its free market and profit motive, emanates from and creates selfishness, while socialism, the welfare state and the &#8220;social compact,&#8221; as it is increasingly referred to, emanate from and produce selflessness. The opposite [...]]]></description>
