John’s thought of the day
March 17, 2009 – 9:25 pm by JohnMaybe if Americans weren’t so stupid and/or willfully ignorant of important political and economic issues, they wouldn’t be as outraged at AIG executive bonuses as they were at the government taking all that money from people who earned it and giving it to people who didn’t in the first place.

Yeah, they should be. I am. Probably most people who read this are.

You’ve nailed it. I remember seeing some survey that showed a gross amount of ignorant citizens thought the government somehow had its own money, rather than having to take it from people.
It’s hard to build a logical argument on a foundation of ignorance
