Kerry, by levers I meant primarily private sector levers - ceos, directors, etc. had much more to do with these problems than the political blowhards. And I don't know too many joe six packs who cause entire companies to collapse - their greed is strictly amateur in comparison.

On the gov't side, many of the laissez faire bills pushed by Lott, Gramm, and company helped these guys along and encouraged their raw hubris.

The demos push regs that may make things less efficient, but prevent the little guy from being completely steamrolled by those with their hands on the real money. Teddy Roosevelt understood that kind of thinking.

Then again, this big money bought off alot of the demos too. The demos can only wish for republicans who are half as centrist as Clinton, instead we're saddled with relics like Cheney and boneheads like Bush. Shrub is becoming frightening in his incompetence in all matters that don't have him leaning on the grizzled war machine advisors to do his thinking for him.

IMO
