I am getting particularly outraged over the current outrage. People need to take a sober minute before expressing such rage. In today's economic downturn, corporate America has sure to have played a large part. But personal responsibility should still be accounted for. All of these people complaining need to look in the mirror first.
Over-leveraged in you own personal finances? Don't blame the banks that did the same thing.
Borrowing against your house to live? That is basically cheap money from China. Don't complain about Chinese ownership of our government's debt.
Ever buy from Wall-Mart? Don't complain about the lack of mom and pop shops.
Don't take the bus or ride your bike? Don't whine about global warming.
Had a bonus last year even though your company didn't do well? Don't scream about AIG.
Corporate America, imperfect as it is, is a function of the demands of real America. Our anger should be tempered by our own personal responsibility first.
