If you or I fail at business, we fail. If we cheat and fail, we go to jail. But if you're rich and politically connected, your incompetence may be protected by a government bailout.

Most of us are aware of the sacrificial slaughter of Bear Sterns. Some people call it a bailout, but I call it a handout - a government handout to some of the richest people on Earth, paid for by American taxpayers.

Being politically correct means saying what's polite rather than what's accurate. I like to be accurate.

If the government paid you to fail, would you change your business strategy? Of course not.

Start a part-time business and make as many mistakes as you possibly can while you still have your daytime job.

When President Obama speaks about raising taxes on the rich, he speaks about high-income employees and small business owners, not entrepreneurs who build big businesses.
