Executives, who accepted Tarp I monies, are being compelled to testify in front of congressional committees to explain where the money went (which is a good idea...since it's our money and no one knows where it went). However, during these hearings, they are having to sit there and listen to the same people (Barney Frank and Maxine Waters to name just two), who forced them to loan the money in the first place which led to our economic crisis, actually chastise and blame them for causing the crisis. How absurd!
Executives that accepted Tarp I monies are being told that they will no longer be allowed to use private jets to travel around the country. In addition, we have some members of the media who are asking President Obama why he just doesn’t fire the executives. Since when did the constitution give the president the ability to fire members of the private sector?
Executives of companies that are possibly considering asking for future bailout monies are being told by the Obama administration that if they do take the money they will not be allowed to earn more than $500,000 annually. If I were these executives I'd think twice about crawling to the government with my hand out. I'd find a better way to solve my companies problems.
Businesses are being crucified and demonized by a mainstream media who has no idea how a business is run, what makes a business successful, how or why bonuses are given and to whom they are given, or even that private sector businesses…both large and small…are the ones who actually create the majority of jobs in this country...NOT the government.
We also have a certain sector of the general public who is sitting back waiting for the government to take money from those who have and give it to them…they are waiting to be rewarded for doing absolutely nothing because they have been conditioned to believe that they deserve it. They, the entitlement sector, believe that it is their right to be taken care of by the rest of us. You don't need to look to far for examples. Just check out the videos of Obama's Town Hall meeting in Florida on Tuesday, February 10th.
If you have never had the chance to read Terry Goodkind’s “The Sword of Truth” series, I suggest you check it out from your local library or buy it. It’s an eleven book series that takes place in a fantasy world of wizards, witches and magic; and it is well worth the read. If you choose to read this series, you will see some very astonishing similarities between what the liberal left and the entitlement sector of this country believes and what Terry Goodkind’s “Imperial Order” (which shows up around book three) believed. It is actually frightening to see how closely our reality is beginning to mirror Goodkind’s fictional world. Here is a quick synopsis of the parallels I recognized:
- Businesses are the enemy and should be regulated to the extreme.
- Making a profit and being rewarded for your success is considered greedy and immoral.
- Business and commerce is destroyed through extreme intervention policies.
- Everyone should be equal and no one should think about providing for himself or his family first.
- Those who have should be compelled to give to those who don’t...no matter how it effects their own lives and the lives of their families.
- Those who don’t have are conditioned to expect something for nothing.
- Those who don’t agree with you should be eliminated.
