Roll of the Dice Hidden agenda might tilt toward favored individuals Imagine: A philanthropist offers to give $100 to Person A only if the lucky recipient shares some portion of the gift with Person B. There's more. Person B is told that Person A will not be allowed to keep even a penny of the $100 if B does not agree with whatever share of the $100 is offered by A. Those are the facts.

Government Spending Gone Amok When spending gets tight for those in need, those with greater favor get more?

Doctors taking care of low-income Oklahomans will be paid less, and some might discontinue providing care, leaving many patients without access to care. By Tom Adelson | February 24, 2010
