Fear is for commoners
I know what you’re saying: “Mr Economist. I am not an economist. I am not a presidential candidate. How can I begin to understand the complexities of the current market correction?”
Well, you can’t. If you aren’t smart enough to become an investment banker and create a 700 billion dollar leveraged house of cards, then you aren’t smart enough to comprehend, let alone offer advice on how to fix the current market hiccup.
No, you need to leave this one to the professionals; the well qualified and well paid CEO’s of Wall Street.
We cannot allow the nattering nabobs of progressivism to suggest that the Captains of Industry should in any way be made to suffer. We must oppose pay cuts and the dilution of severances packages for our corporate titans. We must make the tax cuts for our Nation’s elite 1% permanent. We must protect this defenseless minority class.
And we need to elect a new president who has been down this road before. A president who was alive during the Roosevelt administration and saw first hand what the excesses of government regulation can do to an economy. We need a champion for the kind of legislation that has helped remove the yoke of burdensome socialist policies that stifle American entrepreneurship. John Sidney McCain was instrumental in the re-allocation of risk to assist the private sector during a different correction among financial institutions back in the 1980’s and that experience is just one more reason why we need him at the helm for the next eight years.
I’d like to remind you all of the wise words of Colin Powell who said. “You break it, you bought it”. Who better than John Sidney McCain to carry these words into the next decade?
