the Boss

America is at crossroad in it's history. How we deal with the recent financial system meltdown will prove out what we are made of and what we have become. Do we really believe in the free enterprise system that at one time made America the greatest economic power on earth? Or, have we become weak willed, afraid of failure and totally dependent on our government to "make things right?"

One of the basic principles of our success is the right to fail. Our struggles, our failures and lessons learned are more important to our strenght as a people than success itself. It is through adversity that we gain strength. Unfortunately, this concept has been lost on recent generations in America as we have become more and more dependent on the federal government to support us.

As I see it, a federal bail out is the easy way out, yet with far reaching implications that should cause us all to lose sleep at night. Do we want to leave our children and grandchildren a legacy of socialism or of freedom. I choose to preserve the economic system that made America great.

Let the banks fail!
