| Language | ENG |
| Author | Olsen, Henry |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The states conservatives need to win the presidency benefit disproportionally from entitlements. Reagan’s principles can guide compassionate reform. REPUBLICANS OUGHT to be familiar with the concept of temptation. Resisting temptation is a big theme in Christianity, as the Lord’s Prayer reminds us, and the modern GOP has long been the preferred party for the observant Christian. Yet when it comes to the central politico-economic question of our time—the declining wages available to the unskilled or semiskilled worker—many on the right succumb all too easily. |
