The Quagmire of my Discontent: The Apocalypse of WeeSaul - Abondon all hope, ye who enter here!!!

Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today...

Being that I am a taxpaying citizen of this country, I would like to request that none of the money I contribute be used for bailing out companies that have been mismanaged. Why is it wrong to just allow them to declare bankruptcy? What is wrong with having their assets divided up and sold to the highest bidders? Is this country really so weak that it would cease if a couple of banks or automakers went under? (engage sarcasm engine) We all know it is wasn't the fault of those who were in charge of these companies and we should give them everything they want because they without them the world would come to an end and all hope would be lost. How can we punish them for making innocent mistakes? And to spank them for being bad would be considered abusive and we wouldn't want to emotionally scar them for life. They are victims of their own success and we are at fault for making them successful. We really should help the people who line the pockets of the political machines that guides this great land... (disengage sarcasm engine)

Any more I find that I have a great dislike for any politician of any party. What do they care if our children's children are still paying off the debt from passed year as long as they can get reelected in the next election? And that's what it all boils down to in the end – short-sightedness of those in power and the instant gratification of voters who keep them in power...

If we truly have a global economy do we really need so many automakers in this country? Would it be so wrong to have one strong US make competing against one strong Asian manufacturer against one dominate European brand? Does this country really need such huge financial institutions when it is possible that the population would be better served by an increased number of smaller operations?

None of these things really matter for the powers that be have already decided what is in my best interest and the good of the country. For I am but an idiot who goes through this existence needing to be told what I what and what is best for me. I need someone to hold my hand and protect me from this big bad world. And I think I've disengaged the sarcasm engine far too early in the writing of this rant...

We all know that the politicos are never wrong, their programs were just underfunded or too small in their scale. And if they are questioned on anything they do, they will say that I do not understand what they are trying to accomplish or I am far too naïve to understand the workings of this country...

And yet I am powerless to anything about goes on around me for I am but one vote out of over three-hundred million and I am outnumbered by the many who have been bailed-out or who want to be swaddled from cradle to grave...

And I would like someone to prove this wrong: being rewarded for bad behaviour or bad judgment will result in an outcome that changes the behaviour for the better. How will the behaviour of any CEOs or COOs or CFOs change when they still receive large financial rewards for not knowing how to run their businesses? How will they learn if they are not allowed to fail?

Failure is always an option. If you run your business in a manner that does not create to capital that is required to sustain it, you go out of business. It is that simple and doesn't even require my BS in Business Management to figure out. When you no longer have the money to required for your operation to be a viable enterprise, that's it, game over, you lose. How can there be any winners in a land where no one is allowed to fail?

For now at least my right to speak out against the state is in tact though this is subject to change without notice and my next entry may very well be from some gulag near you...

And thusly ends my rant on this glorious day and I am hoping that everyone has a chance to read it before the thought police have it removed for all eternity...

This is the Rant of the AntiCrust...

Praise be ye who Read the Rant for ye are Blessed amongst humans...
