AIG and Bailouts: Welcome to the Real World

Rarely will you find the smartest people working for government. Those who want to be creative and, for better or worse, reap the result of their efforts will be in the private sector. Those who value conformity and the security of a paycheck regardless of performance will tend to be in govt.

The govt will constantly be chasing those more gifted and motivated entrepreneurs and trying to bring them down to their level and control them. Unable to catch them, and lacking the intellectual and moral basis to change their behavior, the govt will resort to manipulation and brute force.

Why must we have higher taxes to fund the war? Can't we just keep taxes the same or cut them, and then spend less in other areas? Surely you don't think that the war on terror is the MOST wasteful spending that goes on in our government?
