The workers built this state, the country,
Not the unions. Not some party.
Not some distant calling in the wind.

And yet another law
And another law where the sun don’t shine
Where the lawyers oughtn’t be
About things the lawyering can’t fathom
As Jesse might say, Amen!
“A legislation of a misconception.”
Amen, brother! Amen, again!

“A bad break has us chirping the blues.”

The Popular Capitalist View
In my last column, I discussed education through the filter of the perennial New Jersey political theme of property taxes.

The rushing never fruitful
In its speed from here to there
Makes there so much more distant
And this place never here…

The Popular Capitalist View
There seem to be some persistent and wrong assumptions about policy issues that are used to frame positions and prescriptions such as mine, particularly in the currently volatile subject of medical or health care reform. So, in order to better the understanding and serious consideration of what I have presented here, I have decided to take a step back and place medicine and its reform in an economic context.

From the board rooms
From the seats of power
In the towers of ivory and gold
Let us call the doctors home
Let us call the doctors home
