Economics is a science. Why are we in the economic mess we are in? It certainly is not because there is a non-existent precedent to observe and learn from.  In fact, everywhere Socialism is tried it fails, yet we (Americans) like sheep, gravitate toward feel good kool-aide when what we need is some real life robitussin. Talk is cheap. Let’s cut capital gains taxes, lift ridiculous environmental regulations, and encourage freedom, capitalism and entrepreneurship and see what the DOW does in the next few years.  Or we could make the rich worker bees pay for the jealous middle-class/poor bees who feel that life is not fair and watch our economy tank and our freedoms taken away….ok I’m rambling. What do you guys think?
