The president proposes to know when you have made enough money. I wonder if he knows when you have acquired enough power?
You can only do three things with money: spend it, save (invest) it, or give it away (charity). I contend that the private citizen can do these things much better than the most benevolent bureaucrat. (Now there is an oxymoron for our times!)
Michelle Maulkin makes the point in Townhall.com
Fundamental lesson of Capitalism 101: Governments and bureaucrats don’t make what people want and need. They only get in the way. It is individuals, cooperating peacefully and voluntarily, working together without mandate or central design, who produce the world’s goods and services. They make what people desire and demand for themselves, not what Obama and his imperial overlords ordain that the masses should have.
We have a commander-in-chief who presumes to know when you have earned “enough,” who believes that only those who provide what he deems “good” products and services should “keep on making it,” and who has determined that the role of American entrepreneurs is not to pursue their own self-interest, but to fulfill their “core” responsibility as dutiful growers of the collective economy.
