Capitalism.....

Capitalism is good and is a major component of "building your dream" in America. However, some "capitalists" have ruined it for everybody through their greed and lack of ethics.(Wall Street take note!) Too many so-called conservatives have cried "we will police ourselves! No regulations are needed!" And then they promptly took advantage of the situation and behaved greedily and unethicly.(Is this the Christian way?...not hardly!) Now those who do believe in "regulation" must clean up the mess. And the capitalist conservatives still scream "no regualtion!" Bad apple capitalists...and I venture to say...non-practicing Christians, have ruined the concept of "proper" capitalism. Why didn't the ethical capitalists police the capitalism ranks? A lesson is learned here....don't tolerate the greedy and unethical! They have given capitalism a very bad name!

Let's have some class...

Incivility is running rampant in today's society. News people, politicians, and, yes, some of our many citizens are certainly not exercising common sense or maturity. The following article by Linda P. Campbell is worth a good read. Enjoy!

Integrity needed again...

As Congress returns from their Summer recess, we must all hold our breath to see if integrity followed some of the members back to Washington. Let's hope so! With healthcare/health insurance reform a top priority this Fall, we must have some maturity and common sense. All parties must come together for the good of the country and its people. Integrity is needed and it is needed now.

Wall Street Mess

Janet Tavakoli at Tavakoli Structural Finance in Chicago seems to have a handle on the Wall Street Mess and has for quite a while. She has several books that can be purchased on Amazon.com. Take a look at tavakolistructuredfinance.com

The circus continues....

Another day with drastic shifts in the stock market....up 500 points! Yesterday...down 400 points! My 401K is down 30%. Bailout money is going fast, but in every direction...and it seems, no good direction. The powers that be seem confused...changing their minds and their promises almost daily. Main street is suffering and the "greedy big shots" want someone else to take the blame. What an unsettled era! We're still waiting...still waiting for common sense and ethics to return to the market place. Hopefully soon....

Integrity

Let us get back on track in America.
