Question? I don't need no stinkin question! excon 12/07/04
    H
    ello political gurus:

    In my most recent political incarnation, I adopted the economic viewpoint espoused by the likes of Milton Friedman, of the University of Chicago. That philosophy, in general, said that business would flourish in an atmosphere of non regulation. As a businessman, I saw most regulation as having nothing to with promoting the goals the legislation, but as a means of employment for the unqualified.

    Today, I see that if business is left unbridled, they will rip us off. They (or their lobbyist) write much of the legislation that passes. They have a very friendly congress and president. Insurance companies, the pharmaceutical manufactures and the bankers (credit card issuers) are the worst thieves around. And, I know something about thievery.

    P.S. Oh, no question. I’m just angry as hell.

      I don't particularly like Spitzer. He has always struck me as politically slimey. But I support his efforts to go after offending companies in corp. malfeaseance cases to the hilt.

      And he has a good first name too.

      We seem to be in general agreement on this issue. The Messiah must be coming...
