Frankly, I got sick of her say ad nauseum "We're gonna send a message to the fat cats on Wall Street, You Betcha!" Adam Smith was rolling over in his grave.

Considering the pillage perpetrated by many of those 'fat cats', methinks Adam Smith might just be agreeing with Sarah.

"Adam Smith might just be agreeing with Sarah.

I believe if you pick up a copy of "Wealth of Nations" and read it, you wouldn't agree.

Smith wouldn't want any politician to make wild accusations about "punishing" the market or those who run them. Why? Because what's happening in the market isn't the damn business of the government Hence, we have a "free" market.
