Suck it up, conservatives!

A lot of conservatives and business-minded folks are loudly claiming that Obama and the Democrats are trying to kill American capitalism. Quite frankly, I'm worried about the debt and the dependence on the government that the stimulus and other initiatives could create. And at the same time, I'm a little happy that the folks who have been trying to game the system for the past 20 years and been the driving force behind the outrageous consumption and the creation of non-productive industries (like the mortgage market and futures market) are the ones being hardest hit. Cry all you want bankers and brokers, but you generated the wealth of the past 20 years on a foundation of myth and lies. If you want to play by laissez-faire rules, adopt one rule better: "Don't be a dick". Stop trying to screw the other guy out of a dollar or game the system. If you can't be honest, then screw you and bring on the regulation.

And I'd like my 401K money back, please. Hope you had a fun time with it.
