As the title of this blog suggests, its postings will be guided by the principles of the Declaration of Independence: the inalienable rights all of us equally hold, under a government established to secure these rights.
These words informed the basis of a revolution over two centuries ago, and have lost their importance as a guiding principle for public debate and policy today.
The scope of our governments' powers, and the existence of, and response to, the current economic crisis, sadly illustrate this all too well.

Thanks for the Blog Adam - what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you - banks don't need employees who would be attracted to below market compensation at any time, yet alone now when their best and brightest are the absolute minimum needed to turn things around and move forward.
Below market compensation would never attract the employees so desperately needed - it would only attract those that cannot.
In a way, it's not that dissimilar to Health Care. Would we really want doctors who were attracted to below market compensation? I don't think so - do we want socialized medicine? Or do we want the best and brightest to care for our physical health?
I think so - other countries certainly wish they had the healthcare we do.
Nor should we want any less for the financial health and well being of our country!
Here's to the health and well being of our country the way our founding fathers planned!
Thanks again for the great blog, can't wait until the next feed!
