  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    Forget about sweeping gov't changes as a result of this economy. The day we allowed lawyers to become professional politicians is the tragic day we let our country down, as sheep always do. These guys make the laws now that suit them, not us. Do you think that will ever change?

    Politics used to be a way station within a successful career, a place where you stopped for a few years and then returned to your profession after a public service stint well done. Now it's a profession like any other, but others don't have the influence or the money that "gov't service" and "elected office" has today. That's what brought all the slicksters we have now into it, and they will never leave.

    Ever since the Civil War, social anarchists have been trying to get America to "redistribute the wealth", giving an equal amount of money to all Americans regardless of race or color. My idiot nephew is one of those anarchists.

    The problem with that moronic and shortsighted thinking is that in a short time, it would all be "redistributed" right back to the way it is now just like water seeks its own level. Giving money to the irresponsible doesn't change them into responsible citizens, it just gives them a good time until all the money is gone. My granny used to say, "some poor folks people are poor by circumstance, but most are poor by nature." So true.

    Is redistribution what Obama is now trying to do? And, is it really just another way of getting "reparations" ?

    The oddest thing about the "stimulus" plan is that it will not not stimulate the economy as it's not going to provide much but tothe public sector(thus the socialism word). Obama is giving $500B to social services like MedicAid! What is taxpayer paid healthcare for "his poor people" going to do to solve this economic crisis? What is the taxpayer return on that investment? It sure doesn't build infrastructure that was the reason for the money in DC a while back. I guess this is his way of giving Civil War reparations to "his people" 150 years later.
