Consider all the
regulation, legislation, and financial accounting
controls that have been implemented during the 20th
century. Start with the Sherman Antitrust Act of
1890. Consider all the government regulations and
legislation enacted since then. Include the
establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the
Clayton Act of 1914, the SEC in 1934, and more and
more. Each politician-legislator was pandering to
his electorate under the guise of contributing to
the prevention of the next financial debacle. |
|
All the rules, all
the regulations, all the legislations, and so many
arrogant politicians couldn't prevent the Madoff
Ponzi scheme nor the greatest financial meltdown in
all of history, today's economic crisis. In fact,
their continued legislating since the 1978 Community
Reinvestment Act is what caused today's financial
crisis. |
|
|
There is not a way
that government nor government employees can devise,
implement, and control economic activity to prevent
new, innovative schemes and business ventures from
forming and evolving. The government can and does
impede progress, but it cannot stop development.
That is simply because government employees are not
as smart and innovative as private sector workers. |
|
If you were smart and
ambitious, would you go to work for the government? |

Obama, the man who
stated the words that comprise the title of this
essay, and his friends Bill Ayers and Ayers' wife
Bernardine Dohrn may think that they can, as she
announced in 2007, "Dismantle capitalism, that evil
thing". But they cannot. They mis-target their wrath
and envy. |
|
Their actual target
is not capitalism. In order to accomplish their
objective they would need to dismantle human nature. |
|
|
Capitalism is in
reality the operational portion of hard working,
smart, ambitious people's economic aspect. History
displays other experimental circumstances, including
the now-defunct USSR, wherein hard-working people
take their capitalism underground. |
|
Very importantly,
that underground is not the murderous, dark Weather
Underground that Ayers and Dorhn contrived and used
to gain the power they have today. Their Underground
is the spawning ground of the Satan that they
discovered, propped up, and maneuvered into power.
That is their Satan who today poses as the messianic
frontman playing pied piper for under-educated,
unthinking Americans. |
|
|
No, there are not
enough regulations, rules, guidelines, legislation,
nor enough bureaucrats to stop hard working, smart,
ambitious Americans. They may be angered and impeded
by a fascistic, over-empowered, insecure, poseur
maniac, but he will fail. Capitalism will arise
freshly prepared. |
|
And that is fortunate
for under-educated, unthinking Americans. They now
follow this thinly-veiled Satan who exposes his
anger and frustrations more each day. Americans will
be rescued eventually by capitalism that is led by
smart people who will triumph to resurrect
prosperity. |
