Entrepreneurship II

Excellent editorial on the socialist O'bama remarks:

"Just two immigrant brothers and their families risking everything, balancing on the economic high wire, building a business in America. They sacrificed, paid their bills, counted pennies to pay rent and purchase health care and food and not much else. And for their troubles, they were muscled by the politicos, by the city inspectors and the chiselers and the weasels, all those smiling extortionists who held the government hammer over all of our heads.

[...H]e offers an American dream much different from my father’s. Open your eyes and you can see it, too. He stands there at the front of the mob, in his shirt sleeves, swinging that government hammer, exhorting the crowd to use its votes and take what it wants."

I was reading a review of a Gary North book on honest money. "Honest money is the product of honest people. '[It] requires honest law and people who are self-disciplined. Let the people have what they want, just so long as it is morally valid, non-fraudulent, and non-coercive.'"
