Libertarians make the argument that the government is a threat to liberty because it employs “men with guns” who can rob you of your life and freedom. Without getting into that tired debate, I would just like to make one observation: for most Americans, the greatest threat to their freedom comes from “men with pink slips” not men with guns, particularly now. (These men with pink slips, by the way, are exalted by “free market” worshipers of all philosophical bents.)Hullabaloo

Wall Street Isn’t Winning It’s Cheating | Matt Taibbi | Rolling Stone…We hate the rich? Come on. Success is the national religion, and almost everyone is a believer. Americans love winners. But that’s just the problem. These guys on Wall Street are not winning – they’re cheating. And as much as we love the self-made success story, we hate the cheater that much more.
In this country, we cheer for people who hit their own home runs – not shortcut-chasing juicers like Bonds and McGwire, Blankfein and Dimon.
That’s why it’s so obnoxious when people say the protesters are just sore losers who are jealous of these smart guys in suits who beat them at the game of life. This isn’t disappointment at having lost. It’s anger because those other guys didn’t really win. And people now want the score overturned.
