I can’t figure out where the robber barons in big business and government want to draw the line. They say, “The Government is too big! It regulates too much stuff, people should have to be self-reliant! Be responsible for yourself and your actions!” And then, when all of a sudden the people who they’ve run over and taken advantage of rise up in anger, threatening violence against their homes and families, everyone is outraged. Today CNN’s Lou Dobbs quoted some recent threats that were received by the AIG executives who to this point have remained nameless. While I don’t condone mob violence by any means, I can’t seem to understand why Lou thinks the senders of these letters should “be ashamed of themselves”. Furthermore, the newly appointed CEO of AIG recently said that he wouldn’t disclose the names of the executives who received bonuses. I’m not sure I understand this either. My Dad used to say the only reason to have a secret is if you have something to hide; the only reason you have something to hide is if you’ve done something dishonest. It seems to me that the big fat cat executives and congressmen are getting exactly what they asked for, deregulation and smaller government. While I certainly don’t agree with their rules of engagement, I think they should at least have to play by their own rules, right? You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

P.S. And we all get a vacation from Campbell Brown, no bull.
