Can you tell me this? Does our Declaration of Independence not read thatyou have the right to life, liberty, and the PURSUIT of happiness? Where in our constitution does it say that capitalism is a four letter word?
We invested 180 billion dollars in AIG. The government decided to take OURdollars and vote FOR us. We apparently are not smart enough to decide for ourselves, and we couldn’t let the company have its death.
The average president has had his cabinet made up of a minimum of 38% business owners. This president has 8%.
After re-staffing the executive ranks in AIG, we are now telling them how they can pay, not letting them have private jets and then questioning their marketing sponsorships. Congratulations. We now have a country run by nothing but attorneys. It is just downright UN-American. How are we going to get the world’s best business talent to address these government investments if we don’t reward them accordingly to their efforts?
Now we are about to allow the government take over one of the largestexpenses in our country’s history. Our ailing health care program is being proposed to be run by the same organization that brought you $300 dollar hammers and $200 dollar staplers. Can we please go back to independence and freedom and the AMERICAN way? Can we God forbid, go back to capitalism? Can we go back to a country of volunteer politicians that have and hold real jobs in the real world? Can we go back to capitalism and have the court of public opinion be the real voting system for what works in this country instead of what lawyers think we ought to do by their, guess, 2 trillion dollar experiment?
