I keep thinking of the Bamster babbling on to the world about how unexceptional America is. HE is the unexceptional one. There are plenty of extraordinary people in our country, but he has not the depth within his shallow soul to appreciate them. Dr. Walter Williams said recently in the WSJ that the politicians in this country exploit the economic ignorance of the electorate. THAT is the one thing that they reallly excel at,whether by design or because their handlers engineer it..

And brilliant as she was, even Ayn Rand did not envision the socialized medicine hellhole into which we are descending, courtesy of the legal profession inserting itself into the doctor - patient relationship and the politicians fostering medical insurance as part of employee compensation via tax favor.

There is a chill running up my spine

What the great Milton Friedman does not mention here is the gift of the unions that just keeps on giving...the minimum wage law. According to Dr. John Silber, in his book "Straight Shooting" he discusses the purpose of the minimum wage - 1909 a union of fireman on the railroad, fearful of having to work alongside black men, came up with the minimum wage, set higher than the blacks could hope to earn, The point was not to create a living wage as socialists love to claim - it was to keep blacks from garnering any type of career employment. Today this is an entry level job killer - especially for black teens.
