Match up what or who -

1. What hospitals lead in profitability in the U.S. because income has increased 8-fold to 4 billion dollars? What hospitals have struck it rich with a 77% rate of black ink on their balance sheets? As an example, what hospital has been able to install 1000's of art pieces, birthing rooms with flat screens and 10,000 feet of rooftop garden space?

2. Who is the leader in taxpayer funded subsidies?

3. Who is the 6th largest charitable giver on the planet and if one adds the family connection, the 2nd largest charitable donor on the planet?

4. Who said, "A leader is best when people barely know that he exists."

5. Who said, "The efficiency of a truly national leader consists primarily in preventing the division of the attention of a people, and always in concentrating it on a single enemy."

6. Who said, ."There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in the success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things."

A. Laotzu in THE WAY OF LIFE.
B. Adolph Hitler
C. Niccolo Machiavelli in THE PRINCE
D. Wal-Mart
E. Non-profit hospitals subsidized by with tax breaks by the U.S. Government
F. U.S. Government

1. E. 2. F. 3. D 4.A 5. B. 6. C.

After the answers have been matched up, you’ve guessed it - the U.S. government has perfected the art of a new order of things ( from Machiavelli) that theft from deception of the taxpayers succeeds because it focuses on the rich as the enemy of the poor (from Hitler). And Wal-mart, remains the unknown, unsung leader of charitable donations, the champion of the poor, the leader in the new order of capitalistic, entrepreneurial freedom whose enemy is inefficiency. Who would have guessed?
