More about "making enough money"..."I Think You've Made Enough Money"
April 29, 2010
I have a feeling this is going to be the "Read My Lips" of Barack Obama's Presidency:
We’re not, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service.
But in a way I almost have more of a problem with this:
We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy.
When did it become the "core responsibility" of ANY business to "help grow our economy"?
In the America I grew up in, the economy grows when individual businesses - who are in business to make a profit for themselves and their shareholders, not to "grow the economy" - grow and prosper. Businesses have no duty to "help grow the economy". They don't work for the President of the United States, nor for their fellow citizens.
They work to provide for themselves and their families.
This president displays a stunning cluelessness regarding the incentives that motivate ordinary people. Explains a lot about health care reform, doesn't it?
