So according to Obama, freedom means one can take financial risks without having to suffer the consequences if it doesn’t work out. However, the flip side of that coin would be if the risk pays off well, the profit must be taken away to redistribute to the others, making it a zero sum operation.

Shays didn't hurt the rising sense that real government, and not an association of independent countries was needed.
