This is the most important part of d'Anconia's speech for today:

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion--when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing--when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors--when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you--when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice--you may know that your society is doomed.

What is the Paulson plan but a codification of getting "richer by graft and by pull than by work"??

I agree with you, but it is only as important as those who understand the true value of money=production. We here on FR understand that value.

Most have lost touch with the value of their money. Listen to the liberal yoke of fairness and wealth redistribution to those who cry that ocean of tears. It is time to reeducate the masses about their monetary value.

As long as we as a nation turn to government to solve this crisis through printing more money, which devalues all of us, we will continue down the road to a market crash.
