What a charade given the $170 million inaugural tempered with J.Crew/ Pottery Barn (?) purchases. By the time Obama and the Liberals "bail" out this economy the Ship of State will rest on the ocean floor. Someone should total the entitlements in our society versus the rewards of actual work- it is really quite fuzzy- what is worth worth? No one knows anymore. Add to that, a sinister motive to incite class hatreds which is the typical mark of older revolutions. How have voters fallen for this fallacy of populism? Farewell capitalism.//Many bonuses are like commissions- rewards and incentives for those who performed and earned. If Obama wants to play the harsh preacher he certainly has a multitude of avenues to explore.
