Qoute of the day

Something relevant to a point I made in response to a response to an earlier post, from Jonah Goldberg at National Review Online...
Corporations meddle in Washington because Washington meddles with them.

It is simply naive to believe that a businessman will have no interest in politics when politicians have taken a great interest in him. And it is grotesquely unfair to assume that businesspeople are corrupt simply because they want to support politicians less inclined to hurt them.

Good point, dude - it all starts from these "populist" politicians basing their meddling on the premise that these businessmen are corrupt to begin with for earning profits, which is really just a socialist construct based on that age-old human flaw, envy.
