My Confucius thought for the day

In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.

Banking. Financial Services. Automobiles. Etc. Etc. Free market doesn’t equal government handouts.

    Hmm. Well, I was thinking this country has been governed badly for the last 8 years. I think both parties can agree to that. Now we have industries, long proponents of the free-market system and less regulation, ponying up to the government trough for a handout.

    In the REAL free market, if you fail, and I’m quoting from the host of “The Weakest Link:” “You are the weakest link. Goodbye.”

    I heard today that AIG was about to dole out a half billion in compensation. Those execs ought to be ashamed, but I think they don’t know what that means.
